City Updates JobLink to Connect Teens, Residents to Entry-Level Jobs

Ed. Note: This post is a city of Mercer Island press release.

Mercer Island Youth and Family Services (MIYFS) is updating its JobLink website anticipating increased use of the job posting service as the economy shows signs of recovery.

In anticipation of increased use, the MIYFS JobLink program is making updates to its website and changing its address to www.mercergov.org/joblink.

JobLink is where Mercer Island residents go to advertise for paid help with everything from childcare, to yard work, to setting up a new computer. Anything from a one-time job to a permanent position can be posted on the board.

Those seeking employment can search the job board and reply personally to the individual or business seeking to hire. The job board is available on-line at www.mercergov.org/joblink and at two physical locations: Mercer Island High School and the MIYFS Offices in Luther Burbank Park.

Cheryl Manriquez, MIYFS Employment Coordinator says, “JobLink is a free service to post available jobs in the community and we’re beginning to see signs of a slowly recovering economy in the number of postings that are coming through.”

To post a job, call the JobLink voicemail at 206.275.7764 or visit www.mercergov.org/joblink.

For more information, contact Cheryl Manriquez, MIYFS Family Assistance and Employment Coordinator at 206-275-7869 or cheryl.manriquez@mercergov.org.
