A new career center will help people find jobs in Phoenix Arizona.

Goodwill of Central Arizona recently announced that it will open a new career center in northeast Phoenix. The grand opening, scheduled to take place next week, will not only offer resources to help candidates find work, but also will feature companies and employers who are looking to hire, such as Wells Fargo.

The career centers help job seekers create the best possible applications and resumes and help employers connect with local workers. It is estimated that the career centers throughout the Phoenix area will serve about 25,000 people this year. So far, 4,600 people have been placed in local jobs.

"It's a community that doesn't have a career center, and there is a need in that community," Michael Shawn Burchett, career services coordinator for Goodwill of Central Arizona, told the azcentral.com. "It's for individuals who need help presenting themselves to employers. We find that a lot of individuals have the qualities, but they might not be as skilled as they can be at creating resumes and selling themselves to employers."

Burchett added that Census jobs have been very popular as of late. It is thought the Census will create 3,000 to 5,000 jobs in Phoenix. Other popular jobs include office work, industrial work, drivers, warehouse work, healthcare and customer service.

"The job market has stayed about as difficult as it's been all year," he added. "We've seen a few signs of employers using our services a little more than they had earlier in the year, but we still are seeing the same increasing numbers of individuals that are unemployed. So far, the unemployment numbers are remaining the same at about 9 percent."
