User Feedback • In order to facilitate improvements to job seeker functionality in JobQuest, we solicited feedback from users and collected data on their behavior online. • Google Analytics • Online survey • Focus groups • Thank you to JobNet, ValleyWorks in Lawrence, and Workforce Central in Milford and Southbridge for helping with the focus groups.
