Mark Sanders Career Center

Went here to do a typing test and get a certificate for an employment search. Have been to a few other centers, often referred to as «One-​Stop Career Centers», and by far I found this to be the cleanest and nicest one of the bunch.
Was in and out within an hour (which included taking 5 typing tests for free, keeping the best score and getting a state approved certificate.) Also asked and was able to get the certificate scanned and emailed to me as a PDF to make things even easier.
— Ample parking and easy to find; right on the corner of 50^th and Broadway. (huge building and clearly marked)
— Supportive, professional and friendly staff.
— Plenty of space, tables, chairs to use.
— Free computer lab.
— Job search assistance.
— Tips on getting a state job.
— Resources for veterans (as well as for the spouse and children of a veteran)
— Youth job search services.
— Help with getting a resume together, getting an email, finding jobs via the various web sites, help with applying online etc.
They have lots of handouts that provide all sorts of job/​career resources, tips etc.
Very clean and well organized. Just fill out a short form and hop into line for service. You can get access to the internet, a printer and more. All for free. (Public libraries are great, but do charge .15/​page to print.)
Definitely recommend this place. Although I only needed the typing certificate, there are lots more services available.
NOTE: you’ll need to get yourself registered on CalJobs /​Sacramento Works to access services/​resources here. It’s a quick process: just pick a user name and password, provide some personal info like mailing address, etc. and you’re all set.

Even though that I need some another tasks to find better jobs easier, I can rely this place at Mark Sanders’ Career Center. This career center which it operated by E.D.D. aka. Employment Development Department can help residents of Sacramento to find the jobs they wanted, job posting announcements, disability assistants and test/​exam results from keyboard typing to state exams (if likely available.) As I entered their doors, the concept is much similar to an actual DMV office at Broadway which it’s a block away, yet in a quite, calmly office environment.
Before I can start my job hunting tasks, I begin to write and sign in by using their «Sign In» sheet to know what can I do for today. Additionally, once I encountered a clerk, I must provide a sign-​in card (it’s required to use it although it’s free to participate if you sign up) to accept my request.
Everything in this career center is well mechanic, and operating properly which I can find potential job postings available from state/​county jobs to national jobs on their computer. Also, they have good presentation meetings too on any particular days of the month like how to create a resume or cover letter, how to improve and acing job interviews, and how to fill a job applications too.
As I came to their career center today, I decided to participate a keyboard typing test which some companies or departments requires a typing certificate to apply. I asked a clerk to request an offer to start the test promptly which I can come at any time/​day because it’s first come, first served. After requesting, the typing exam clerk offered me to look at the directions carefully before I can start the test on their computer. As I began, I typed 5 attempts for 5 minutes which I have 5 chances to pass the exam until I officially passed the exact WPM’s target! I was ecstatic that the clerk received an authentic certificate for passing the timed typing test. I was astounded and pleased!
Before I can conclude, there’s some suggestions that this career center needs to improve in the future. As I continued to do my timed typing test, someone made a phone call conversation on speakerphone which it interrupted my typing chances despite the «No Cell Phone» sign has posted. I’m sure they need to add an employer to guard the customers carefully if someone started to interrupt any bad habits. Additionally, closing the door would be a better idea to make it quiet inside the exam room without hearing unwanted sounds behind.
There’s plenty of parking spaces available, so you can park anywhere you want near or far.
In the end, EDD’s Mark Sanders’ Career Center is the finest career center that I really enjoyed and participated for helping my job search improvements. A well, worthy visit! My rating: 4 solid stars.
