However, once you get a job, you can pay your bills, and slowly build up your credit score. Three months with the same company and you can get an online personal loan, whatever your credit score. Once you have good credit, you can get loans from banks, buy a car, a house and so on.
Having a job is the starting point, but you do not know how to get around to it or even where to start looking. Here are a few tips to get you on your way.
Talk To Your Peers
The very first step when looking for a job is to talk about it to everybody you know. Slipping in short sentences like, “If ever something comes up, please give me a call. I am looking for a job and am open to any opportunity,” can go a long way. You can find many a job by word of mouth.
Job Search Engines
There are a few job search engines on the internet. Look at them regularly and apply to jobs that interest you.
Local Community Boards And Newspapers
Look at your local community boards and newspapers. Companies post local job openings regularly. Even if it is just temporary, it could help you out until you get a regular job.
Province Employment Resources
Go to your local employment center. The government has resources to help you out with your resume and your job search. They even have programs to send you back to school so that you can have a well-paying job afterwards.
Recruiting Agencies
Go through a recruiting agency. Some companies only hire through these agencies. It can open up new doors.
Distribute Your Resume
Go around town and distribute your resume to different companies and shops. Make sure your resume looks professional and is in good order. Who knows? You might be in the right place at the right time.
Look At Company Websites
Some company websites have a section for job openings. Regularly check the sites of companies in which you are interested.
Career Fairs
Go to career fairs. You have various companies looking for employees under the same roof. It is the perfect opportunity. Do not forget to bring your resume.
While You Wait
While waiting to find the job for you, do not stay idle. Offer your services to mow lawns or shovel snow from driveways. If you are artistic, sell your creations. Sell items that you do not use online or at yard sales. Do not be too picky. If somebody offers you a job, even if it is not your dream job, take it. It could give you other opportunities, or worst-case scenario, it will help you pay the bills until you find the job for you.
