Hi Allison: Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are doing a lot of research and investing time in learning all you can. That's really important. Not all "one stops" are created equal. Some offer more services than others. The value to using one in your case might be to meet other job seekers to see what they are doing that seems to be getting them results (phone calls and interviews). Your one stop might even have a job club. Ask if you can meet one on one with one of the advisors. Getting their feedback on what you are doing and asking for advice from a neutral party can be insightful. You may want to ask the advisor what other services they feel you should know about. You may be a candidate for training grant money or On the Job Training. Ask and 'ye shall receive, or at least if you ask, you might better know what you are missing out on.
The true lesson to be learned is that noone spending countless hours behind a computer will get a job very quickly. Mingle, meet new people, NETWORK. Over 70% of people get their jobs through a networking contact. Hope that helped.
