Some offer group career counseling, some offer testing, some offer access to job-banks, etc. Ask.
One final note: places and counselors listed here have said they counsel anyone. Ninety-nine percent of them can absolutely be trusted, in this. A few, however, may turn out to have restrictions unknown to us (“we counsel only women,” or “we only deal with alumni,” etc.). If that turns out to be the case, your time isn’t wasted. They may be able to help you with a referral. So, ask them, “Who else in the area can you tell me about, who helps with job-searches, and are there any (among them) that you think are particularly effective?” (Also, write us and let us know they only counsel
If you call a phone number in the Sampler that is any distance geographically from you, and they tell you “this number cannot be completed as dialed,” the most likely explanation is that the area code was changed— maybe some time ago. Throughout the U.S. now, area codes are subdividing constantly, sometimes more than once during a short time span. (We ask counselors listed here to notify us when the area code changes, but some do and some don’t.) Anyway, call Information and check, or look up their phone number on the Web.
Of course, if you’re calling a local counselor, you won’t need the area code (unless you live in one of the metropolitan areas in the U.S. that requires ten-digit dialing).
