Templates by The Hire Power™ · Opportunity looks good on you
A job search in Louisville is part local (health systems, logistics, manufacturing, Metro government, schools and retail) and part online. The steps that actually help are simple: use the free Career Center, keep a written list of every application, and follow up on a schedule.
Start at the Kentucky Career Center
Job-seeker offices in this region are run with KentuckianaWorks and the Kentucky Career Center. The Louisville / Jefferson County office is:
- Kentucky Career Center on Broadway, Goodwill Opportunity Campus, 2820 W. Broadway, Suite 100, Louisville, KY 40211. The official KentuckianaWorks Career Center page lists hours as Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m., and the phone as (502) 388-3010. Confirm hours before you go.
Services listed there include career coaching, resume review, interview practice, job-search help and information on training. Workshops have covered LinkedIn, job searching, interview success and resume help; check that page for the current schedule. Bring a photo ID.
If you need a computer, Wi-Fi or a place to print, use the Louisville Free Public Library. The Main Library on York Street is closed for renovations; our library job-search guide points to the Library Computer Center and open branches.
For statewide tools, start at the Career Center's resume and job search page.
Where else people look around here
- Metro and school jobs: Louisville Metro find or apply for a job (listings also appear on GovernmentJobs) and Jefferson County Public Schools recruitment.
- Local utility careers: LG&E and KU careers, Louisville Water careers and MSD careers.
- Company career pages for hospitals, logistics, manufacturing and other large employers. Apply on the official page, not a look-alike ad.
- Walk-ins and paper applications still happen at smaller shops. Write down the date, the person you spoke with and what they asked you to do next.
A short, honest resume that matches the job beats a long generic one. The Hire Power™ ATS resume template is on Payhip, and the Gumroad store has the rest of the job-search tools.
Track every application, then follow up
When you are sending a lot of applications, the usual failure is not the resume — it is losing track of where you applied, who you talked to and when to check back. Keep one list with at least: employer, job title, date applied, how you applied, a link or contact, status and a follow-up date.
A practical default: if you have not heard back, follow up about 10 days after you applied, then decide whether to wait, follow up once more or move on. That is a personal schedule, not a rule employers publish.
The Hire Power™ Job Search Tracker bundle (also on Payhip) gives you the same tracker as a Google Sheet, Notion template, Todoist project or printable PDF. An interview prep kit and a job-seeker power pack are also in the store. For a short shopping list, see the job-seeker and home-office gear page.
Office hours, hiring events and job links change. Confirm details on the official pages above. A tracker helps you stay organized; it cannot promise interviews or offers.
