Maine’s Job Search Site is Getting an Overhaul through the Fourth of July Weekend

Folks checking the state's online Job Bank will find it down this holiday weekend.

Maine's Department of Labor is overhauling the Maine Job Bank over the course of the holiday weekend.

State officials say the job bank will be relaunched as Maine JobLink and it will be a cloud-based jobs board with improved features such as better search functions and job notifications via email.

The job bank went offline on Wednesday and will relaunch on July 5.

Other new facets of the relaunched Maine JobLink will be a professional resume building tool, support for more than 60 languages and a design that works on mobile devices.

The job bank is used by people who are seeking jobs as well as employers who are looking for workers. It can also be used to file for unemployment benefits.

It is utilized by the Maine CareerCenter, which maintains regional job search and job retention offices and online services from the Maine Department of Labor.
