Make
your school activities count. Sports,
clubs, projects - they're part of your work experience
and can be added to your resume |
|
Research
the job you want.
Read the Help Wanted ads to see what's available. Meet
with employers to ask them about job openings. Talk to
people working in similar jobs. |
|
Know
the job. What do
you have to do? An employer is more inclined to hire
someone familiar with the business than someone who
isn't. |
|
Dress
appropriately for the interview. Let the employer know you think it's an
important occasion. |
|
Be
enthusiastic. Don't
be afraid to let the employer know you want this job. |
|
Don't
lie about your experiences. You risk getting fired and being given a
bad reference. |
|
Follow
up with a phone call or return visit. If you've handed out a resume or gone for
an interview, it's okay to find out what decision an
employer has made. If you don't get this job, ask if the
the employer will have future openings or knows of any
other jobs within the company. |
