I have been looking for a job for the last 2 months and have done numerous things to try and find the perfect job. The first thing I chose to do was go out and look around. I went everywhere and left no stone unturned! Since it is that time of the year when businesses need seasonal employees I decided it would be the perfect time to go and fill out applications and hand out my resume. The number one thing to keep in mind is to make sure your resume says a lot about who you are and what you plan to contribute to the company you are applying for.While on my job hunt, I also went onto my universities website and typed in "job search" and to my surprise a bunch of opportunities came up. You never know where an opportunity can arrive. It may be something as easy as looking up a job search online, to a "help wanted" ad landing on your lap. Opportunities are all around, it's just up to you to make it happen.
After I read each of the job objectives, I decided which I felt would suit me the best and which I felt also went along with my major and career choice. I then proceeded to email each of the jobs listed and waited for a response. When writing an email, try to be as specific as possible and make sure the reader gets a full view of who you are and what exactly you are applying for. It also never hurts to attach your resume.
Besides the usual walk around and fill out applications or emailing your potential employer, you can also try going to job fairs and finding an internship. Job fairs are an excellent place for meeting company representatives from corporations of all industries and size during a small period of time. While internships provide great experience and can potentially lead to a future career.
Finding a job can be a process, but if done correctly it can be easy and surprisingly fun. Just keep in mind the things listed above and in no time flat you will have multiple jobs to chose from. Then your only problem will be which do you chose?

Great job! I like that you made it apply to you and your reader. A connection with your topic is very important. Make sure your post is still concise. A post that is too wordy might not get read. Over all, I enjoyed your post. Now that we have all the technical problems smoothed out I think the next post will be great.
ReplyDeleteI also liked how you related to your own life. However, your post was hard to read and a few of your sentences were not complete. I still liked the post but next time make sure you check your punctuation, grammar, and mechanics by reading out loud. That always helps me.
