Finding a Job Series – What You Should Know

Sell yourself. If you spent your previous summers working at a low-paid job that you did not really like, or else an internship that did not pay at all, you are one of the many graduates who understands the frustration of seemingly not getting the work experience you want. However, regardless of just how uninteresting or uninspiring your work experience may seem on paper, any experience is better than having none. So one big key strategy when it comes to your experience is to make your experience work for you. When you are applying for work, take a look at your experience and ask yourself how you can make it relevant to the position you’re currently seeking. Read between the lines of what’s on your resume to see the intangibles you’ve learned about yourself and the world while you worked at various jobs. Put yourself in the shoes of the employer and ask what they are looking for if you were them, and what sorts of skills and training would you want to hear from an applicant.
