Looking for work is something most people will have to deal with at some point in their life. Many teenagers begin this process early and start their search during the summer when school is out and they have more free time, or when they are in university. 1)___

When searching for a job, however, it is a good idea to have a plan. Job hunting can be hard work and a good attitude and proper planning can certainly increase the chances of finding something that suits you.

Before beginning your search, there are some questions you should ask yourself:

  • What are you really interested in? If you know the answer to this question it will help you knock on the right doors. Also, you are less likely to be upset once you start working. 2) ___
  • Do I want to find a job in a field that I will work in after I finish school or university? The job you find can be work you do just to make extra money, gain a sense of responsibility or experience and meet new people. Or, it may be work that is related to what you are planning to do after you finish secondary school or university. 3) ___
  • How much free time do I have and how many hours do I want to work? Students’ schedules can be very busy. Take a look at how much extra time you have before looking for work. 4) ___
  • Do I want to work somewhere near home, or near school? Location is very important. People very often spend almost as much time getting to their work as they do working.

When you begin your search it is a good idea to speak with your parents, friends and teachers. They may have ideas to give you or may know people you can get in touch with about work. Search the employment section of your local newspapers and any announcements posted on boards in your university. Before you contact possible employers write an outline with information about yourself which you think is appropriate for the job you are applying to. 5) ___ This way if you feel you made any mistakes, you can correct them for the next time you call or see someone for work. If you do not get a job somewhere be sure to thank them anyway and leave your contact information. This will make a good impression and they may get in touch with you in the future for work.
