Mercer One-Stop Career Center — Trenton

Looking for work in Trenton can mean moving between listings, forms and decisions about training. Mercer One-Stop Career Center brings some of that process together at a state-run location: it offers career guidance, access to a room with computers and telephones, and help with résumés, interviews and job searches. It also connects people with training and specialised services. The value lies in speaking with a counsellor and turning a broad goal—changing fields or returning to work—into steps you can follow.

The centre is at 26 Yard Avenue, Building 4, first floor, Trenton, NJ 08625-0954. The listed phone number is 609-989-6523 and hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The state accepts walk-ins for job-search support, but you can book an individual session; in-person unemployment services require an appointment. To search for openings, visit the official JobSource portal. If you need one-to-one help with your search, résumé or skills assessment, request the free service through the state’s Career Services form.

Before going, prepare a simple résumé and note the dates of your jobs, education and certificates; this makes it easier to identify what to highlight for each role. Ask about workshops, courses and any eligibility rules before enrolling in training. Keep control of your personal information: a legitimate offer should not require payment to “release” an interview or ask you to receive and transfer money. Mercer’s Trenton centre can provide free guidance on public resources, without guaranteeing a hire.
