Do Your Research
Friday, June 6, 2014Today on Lets Get Working I want to go back to the beginning and get you all to do some research before you start looking for a job.
If you have just decided to start looking for a job or have suddenly found yourself unemployed its important to set up some clear foundations for yourself.
There are many things that are important to know about yourself and the jobs that are out there before you start looking for a job.
Make sure you do some research.
If you could have any job, what would you like to do?What are your interests?What are your skillsDo you want to work inside or outside?Do you want to work directly with customers or behind the scenes?Are you a team player or do you rather work alone?Do you need constant direction/interaction or do you like to work independently?These questions help you to learn about yourself and what kind of job may suit you.Secondly, its important to know what types of jobs are out there, so scan the newspapers and the job websites and see what is available in your area.
If where you live has limited job choice:
How far are you willing to travel each day to get to and from work?Are you willing to consider moving to live closer to your place of work?It is important to do some research before you start applying for jobs.
Until next time,
Enjoy the journey!
Martha!
