Unit 1: Job Searching

Getting a job is a job! It takes planning, working, networking, learning, and more than just thinking that I need a job. Knowing the career field that you would like to pursue or the job you want to obtain, is a step in the right direction. However, you may not know which career field you want to work in! Then you should do a career search and assessment and determine what skills you have or what things that you like to do most. This will help you clarify the type of place that you would like to work or the career field that you want to pursue. Do you know where you want to work or the career field that you would like to pursue? Do you know the skills that you possess and that you can use in another field? Have you set goals (a time and activity schedule) to obtain a job or when you want to accomplish that task? Read further to get more information.
