Looking for a job?

been proven to be harder than it seems. Any suggestions and don't tell me to go to monster and post my resume online...been there done that. I'm still young and not that experienced just out of school.
Looking for a job?
Correct: Monster, Career Builder and other Job Sites are complete waste of time, I have not met a person to date who has gotten a Job through these sites.





Best Option: What are your friends doing? Contact your, Friends form College who graduated with you with same major or similar.





Find out where they are working, Contact those companies directly just drop in and talk to operations manager, do not try the HR Bullshit route, Operations Managers are always looking for new employees and they can help you with HR as well.





Good Luck!
Reply:Should start from small simple jobs like clerical assistant, sales person etc..
Reply:What kind of job do you want? Decide what field you want to work in, and research companies in that field and call them about employment! Now with the internet, you can find anything! You will have to start at the bottom, sucky pay, but, you get your foot in the door. Find something that interest you and find companies that fit that interest!





Good luck!
Reply:There are a lot of search engines and nifty ways to find jobs out there, but the old ways are still the best. Put together a good looking resume for the type of job you want. Even if you don't have a lot of work experience you can highlight the personal strengths you have that would make you look good to an employer. Dress nicely, take your new resume, and knock on every door to the businesses that have the position you are looking for. Always be nice to the person taking your resume. They decide if it gets to anyone important or thrown away.





Good luck!
Reply:Well, you're absolutely right. Finding a job is harder than it seems.. For starters make sure you have a resume.. Since you don't have any job experience put school activities, volunteering and any summer positions you may have had.. Also get together some references from family/friends/teachers/neighbors.. People that know you. Do you need a work permit? Get that as well or find out how you get one.. Dress nicely and hit the pavement.. Go INSIDE businesses and get applications.. Fill them out while you are there.. You will be likely to need the following school addresses, social security numbers and references names/telephone numbers and possibly addresses.. So, be prepared or it'll be a waste of time.. INSTEAD of filling out applications and leaving.. Ask to see/speak with a manager and ask them if they are hiring.. Get a card and keep for your records of where you applied IF you don't hear anything call them back. Most retail stores will be getting ready for Christmas and they will need extra seasonal help.... Also, check out snagajob.com they have lots of jobs posted there.. If you post a resume GREAT.. However, you can always go to the location and apply personally... Also, if you like to babysit check out craigslist and see if anyone is needed childcare in your area... It would also help if you took a general child/infant CPR/First Aid class.. Given usually by the local RED CROSS... Good luck
Reply:Look for career fairs in your area...they normally will advertise them in the paper or even on the radio. Im not sure what your trade is, but it doesn't hurt to scan the phone book and send your resume to company's not looking for someone. You never know if they will need someone just like you to join the team! Also, get the word out through your friends. Often they know of someone in the field you are looking to get into and will be of great benefit.
