My Job Search Experience

 

 

A Perfect Fit "My Dakota Roots representative, Rocky, informed me of the job I currently hold --a perfect fit and exactly what I was looking for! The benefits of being back in South Dakota are too great to count. I love that I can now spend lots of time with family, enjoy the Black Hills, and reconnect with childhood friends."

Glad to be Home"In July I moved back to South Dakota after being gone for 35 years. It is truly one of the best moves I have made for myself and my college age daughter. The employment office was great to work with and found a variety of jobs for me to choose from. Glad to be home. "

South Dakotans Care"I am still seeking employment. I truly appreciate the time you are taking to assist me. The Staff of South Dakota have shown more concern for my re-employment than their counterparts here in Illinois. I think South Dakotans care. I sincerely thank you."

Family in South Dakota"I came to visit my brother in Watertown in the beginning of September, because he and his wife had their first child. I am originally from South Dakota but have lived in Seattle, Washington, since 1996. My dad saw a commercial about Dakota Roots and gave me the website. Natalie from the South Dakota Department of Labor contacted me, so when I was back I met with her. She is great. She gave me some job leads, told me about the neighborhoods, recommended a real estate agent... I had an overall great experience meeting with her. I also recommended my mom and my boyfriend to her. The two main reasons for me moving back to South Dakota are family and affordable housing."
