Finding a Job Series – Get Experience

Gaining skills. It is important to remember that all work experience counts. Whether it’s a seasonal position, casual, part time or a student placement it can help you to get a job. The important thing is to remember how these jobs will help your career and personal development. Being able to hold onto a casual or part time job can be good as it shows your employer that you are willing to stick it out and you will be given more responsibilities that you can add on to your resume. When choosing a job think of what kind of experience that you wish to gain. With the job you have, think about the types of skills and experience that you are gaining. Job experience can help those who are uncertain about what they want to do figure out where their skills and abilities lie. There’s nothing like a front line position in the social services to let you know that you do not want to be a social worker.
