WorkInTexas.com

Part of the requirements to receive unemployment benefits in Texas is creating an account with WorkInTexas.com, which bills itself as the "largest free job matching network in Texas." I had created an account back in December when I heard I might be getting laid off.

Once you create an account, you have to fill out all this job search-related so that you can be matched with jobs. You can also complete a State of Texas Application, which I think might make you visible to employers looking for candidates, but I'm not sure. At the moment I have 0 job matches, which seems odd.

I'll be checking with the site every few days. I wonder if they track that?
