How To Adult: Finding a Job

A job search can spark nerves or become stressful and many people do not know how or where to start.

Find What’s Right
Research different job titles, descriptions and companies. Deliberate about salaries, work schedules and essential needs. Have everything put together before a formal application starts.

Know Your Qualifications
Think realistic, do not expect a fancy, six-figure job as an inexperienced person or a teenager in high school. Start with a resume. Go through achievements, clubs and sports accomplished and include them in the resume. A resume helps find jobs that best fit certain qualifications.

Look For Hiring Business’s
Businesses hire any time of the year. For more options, try to find jobs at the beginning of summer and the holiday season. Use job search websites, such as “snagajob.com” or  “indeed.com”  to help search. Go inside a business directly for applications, this helps managers or employees remember you, and it could give you a better chance of employment.

Networking
If online applications no longer work, try networking. Reach out to parents, friends, classmates or teachers to help find a job. Approach as many people and businesses as possible. If you know many people or feel uncomfortable with face to face conversation, try social media apps,such as  LinkedIn, Instagram or Facebook.
