Job Search Tips
Whether you’re conducting a job search from home or with the help of KentuckianaWorks One-Stop
Career Center staff, it’s important to have a plan and to go about your job search in an organized way.
Today’s successful job seekers use a variety of strategies to land their next job. The information
below is intended to provide general job search tips to start your effort toward a productive job search.
g e n e r a l jo b - s e a r c h t ips
Be prepared. Have an up-to-date resume and a list of references. Customize your resume to the job
opening. Use a professional sounding e-mail address on your contact information.
Use your network. Many job openings aren’t advertised. Tell everyone you know that you are looking
for work. Network with previous co-workers, managers and peers who may be knowledgeable about job
openings. Don’t forget to also talk with friends, relatives and neighbors about possible job openings. Ask if
they can help.
Attend job fairs. Connect to area employers and see what opportunities are out there. This allows you to
meet face-to-face with multiple employers. Make sure you take a supply of professional, error-free resumes.
Maximize your interview. Research the company and practice interview questions in advance. Be on
time for the interview. Dress appropriately and follow-up with a thank you note after the interview.
Find meaningful work. Explore your passion, identify a direction, and then match your interests with
high-demand careers. Find salary and projected job growth trends for occupations in the Greater Louisville
area on the Kentuckiana Occupational Outlook page at www.kentuckianaworks.org.
Stay positive. Job searching is never easy and it’s even harder when the job market is difficult. Treat it like
a full time job, but also take time to rest, exercise and take care of your health.
O NL I NE J O B S EAR C H AN D RE S O U R C E S
In today’s job market, it’s essential that you use the Internet to search for jobs and to post your resume online

They were laying off, so I
was unemployed for about

I got a job. We recently bought a house, so it just opens

when they are laid off from their jobs. The options are summarized below.
Special enrollment in another group plan
If other group health coverage is available to you (most often through a spouse’s employer-provided plan),
special enrollment in that plan should be considered. It allows the individual and family an opportunity to
enroll in a plan for which they are otherwise eligible, regardless of enrollment periods. However, to qualify,
enrollment must be requested within 30 days of losing eligibility for other coverage. After special enrollment
is requested, coverage is required to be made effective no later than the first day of the first month following
your request for enrollment. This type of coverage is usually the most cost-effective of all the options.
COBRA – Continuing in your old health plan
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 – also known as COBRA – can help former
employees and their families continue their health care coverage. If you were laid off, if you quit your job or
retired, or if your hours were reduced, you may qualify. (You will not qualify, however, if you were laid off for
gross misconduct.) Your employer must have had 20 or more employees, you must have been a participant in
your employer’s group health plan, and your employer must continue to maintain a health plan.
Once your job ends, your plan must provide you with written notice explaining your rights under COBRA. You
have 60 days from the date the notice is provided or from the date coverage ended – whichever is later – to
sign up for (or elect) COBRA coverage. It begins the day your health care coverage ended and lasts up to 18
months (and longer in some cases). However, you may pay the entire group rate premium, plus a 2 percent
administrative fee.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provided a COBRA premium reduction for eligible
individuals who were involuntarily terminated from employment from Sept. 1, 2008, through the end of May
2010. Due to the statutory sunset, the COBRA premium reduction under ARRA is not available for individuals
who experience involuntary terminations after May 31, 2010. However, individuals who qualified on or before
May 31, 2010, may continue to pay reduced premiums for up to 15 months, as long as they are not eligible for
another group health plan or Medicare.
Rapid Response
NOTE: COBRA can be very specific and time sensitive. You may wish to speak with an Employee Benefits Security
Administration Benefits Advisor at (866) 444-3272 if you have questions.
Health coverage through a government program
Health coverage may be available to certain qualified individuals through the state or federal government.
Information on government programs, such as Medicaid (for low-income and individuals with special needs),
state health insurance for children of qualified families, Medicare (for people age 65 and over and certain
people who are disabled or have end-stage renal disease), is available through the Kentucky Department of
Medicaid Services (see listings by county beginning on page 23) or the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services at (800)-MEDICARE.
19
Private, individual health insurance
Another option to consider is private, individual health coverage. The cost of individual coverage may be
higher than similar coverage under a group health plan obtained through special enrollment in another group
plan or COBRA.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) gives individuals who are losing group health
coverage and who have at least 18 months of creditable coverage without a break in coverage of 63 days or
more the right to buy individual health insurance coverage that does not impose a pre-existing condition
exclusion period. For this purpose, most health coverage, including COBRA continuation coverage, is
creditable coverage. These special rights may not be available to you if you do not elect and receive COBRA
continuation coverage.
More information on individual health coverage is available from the Department of Health and Human
Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services at (410) 786-1565 or www.cms.gov.
Know Your Retirement Plan – ERISA
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) provides guidance for employers who have
retirement plans and gives you specific rights to request a copy of your plan’s Summary Plan Description (SPD)
and ask for an individual benefit statement. The SPD tells you if and when you can collect your benefits or how
to roll over your 401(k) account to a new employer’s plan or to an IRA (if your old plan permits you to do so).
The individual benefits statement lets you monitor your account balance and is an important statement to
keep on file.

Foreclosure Prevention

Home foreclosure is a continuing problem in communities across the nation and in neighborhoods
throughout the Louisville area. Louisville Metro Government has partnered with Metro United Way, Kentucky
Housing Corporation, Louisville Urban League and Housing Partnership Inc. to connect you with resources,
information and assistance to help prevent financial problems and foreclosure.
Don’t wait until it’s too late – call your lender or call Metro United Way’s 211 help line. This is the most
important step to take if you’re having financial difficulty. Most homeowners facing foreclosure have not
reached out to find information and options available to them. Metro United Way’s 211 helpline can connect
you with home ownership counselors who can explain options that may be available to help you keep your
home and protect your credit.
For more information about foreclosure and credit, call the 211 help line
