Tuesday, September 18, 2012

Welcome to this Special Edition of Lets Get Working called How to Get and Keep a Job. This week we are looking at Assessing Yourself.

How many hours a day are you prepared to job seek for?
Treat it like a job. The hours you would spend at work, needs to be the hours you spend on looking for a job. If serious about getting a job, spend time on it. Being serious about looking for a job will hone your skills quicker.

 

 

 

Do you have a place designated to job searching?
A desk with a phone, pen, paper, envelopes and stamps and no distraction

 

 

 

To find out what kind of Jobs you may like to do, there is a Quiz at http://do2learn.com/JobTIPS/.

 

 

 

It may then be of benefit to see what each job requires by looking at The Job Guide 2012 at www.jobguide.deewr.gov.au and clicking on 'Search the Job Guide' Get ideas from family and friends and ask for support.

Until next time,
Enjoy the journey!
