Finding a Job

-What skills do you have from other jobs, volunteerism, internships or classes?  Apply to employers on or off campus who could appreciate those skills.

-In what kind of environment have you worked or volunteered?  Inquire at departments that fit your background, ie. food service, technical areas, outdoor work, or office settings.

 -Remember to emphasize skills you have used that fit the needs of the job you are applying to!  Don’t let the employer assume you have skills, tell them!

-When dropping off applications or stopping by to inquire about a possible job, dress up and look like you are ready to go to work.  First impressions count!

 -Be as flexible as you can about the hours and days you are available.
