JOB SEARCH MANUAL
1. Think of someone you know who is in a job you feel would be ideally suited to you.
What is the job?
What would be the next job you would want to have as a step toward that ultimate job?
2. Ask some relative or friends about possible job targets they feel would be good for you. Often others can suggest possibilities that do not occur to you. List their suggestions.
3. Select 5 jobs that sound interesting from the classified section of the newspaper or other sources and do some research on them. The library is a good source and the school may have information or a computerized database. Stretch yourself and consider jobs you might have dreamed about, but never thought possible.
