Student Summer Job Hunting

If  you plan to flip burgers or have dreams of serving as a lifeguard at the local pool during the summer break, you might want to follow these tips offered TRAVAIL of Doncaster...

 

5 tips for teen job seekers:

1.  Proofread job hunting materials. Go over job-hunting materials with a fine-toothed comb. Even a minor mistake can take you out of the running for a job.

2.  Initiate contact. Research companies you would like to work for and ask for an informational interview to learn more about the organization. It also can help employers get to know you so you're top of mind when that company has a vacant position.

 3.  Get Connected. Companies often prefer to fill openings through staff recommendations, identifying any connections to the company through your network of friends or family members might help improve your chances.

 4.   Don't overlook your online image. A growing number of employers are searching the Web for information about job seekers, making it crucial for applicants to actively monitor their presence on sites like Twitter and Facebook.

  5.  Look for new ways to build work history. Consider internships, volunteer assignments or temporary work as a way to gain experience and build your skill sets.

 

 

So if you are looking for temporary work this year to gain experience, build your skill set and earn some money; call TRAVAIL in Doncaster today.
