The department is broken up into many categories, which are all listed on the website. There are some very useful links on this website.

If you would rather receive help in person, you can go to 200 E. Gaines St. in Tallahassee. Those wishing to receive help on the telephone can call 1-800-488-2514. Remember to have your social security number handy and to be prepared with the details of your most recent employment.

Employment Assistance, which can be found online at http://www.floridajobs.org/OneStop/onestopdir/index.htm lists 24 different locations where you can go for personal help finding a job. Just choose the office closest to you – there is a map to help you find it.
