The instructions for some jobs say “How to Apply,” but others say “How to Request a Referral.” What is the difference?
WorkSource employers post jobs on Go2WorkSource in two ways. The first method is used by employers who wish to have applicants apply to them directly. When viewing these job listings, you will see a How to Apply section at the bottom of the listing with contact information for the hiring employer. The Job ID for this type of job always starts with the letters WS or WX. The second method is used by employers who request that applicants apply to a WorkSource office where they are pre-screened. These jobs are listed by a WorkSource office and contact information for the hiring employer is not shown. Only the most qualified applicants are referred to the employer. When viewing these job listings, you will see a How to Request a Referral section at the bottom of the listing. The Job ID for this type of job listing always starts with the letters WA.
