We will contact you within a few weeks of receiving your application to schedule an interview. When you submit your application, please include a copy of your résumé if you have one. If you do not have a résumé and you want help creating one, or if you need to update the one you have, please mention that when scheduling your appointment. We'll be glad to help you! (You can also visit Maine's Career Center's site for more information on résumé writing and job searching.)

Please! Be complete and honest when filling out your application so we can help you find a position that will suit you best. Also, you must be aware that drug testing is required for most jobs, as well as for some of our trainings.

We will keep your information confidential - we will not release any information to anyone except information required to help you find you a job.

Membership in the JobBank is free and for as long as you like: just keep us up-to-date with your contact information. You'll receive our newsletters (published six times a year) and notices of upcoming training and events.

Join today! We'll be happy to hear from you. And if you sometimes feel frustrated or out-of-your-depth when embarking on your new career, our founder has some encouraging words. Although she was speaking of carpentry in particular, her "Law" applies to any new endeavor:

“McCormick's Law states that whenever anyone tries to do something mechanical for the first time, she or he will have no luck, and almost everything that can go wrong will...You must plan for the frustration. Allow twice as much time as you think the job will take....You must be calm. I call this the ‘carpenter alpha state.’ ”

(from Dale McCormick's House Mending: Home Repair for the Rest of Us.)
