Before you start your job search:

Establish your job goal; decide on oneor two occupations you want to pursue.

Find a job counselor (see back) to help

you make a resume, practiceinterviewing and help you find jobs.

Know the hours and pay you will need. Have your documents ready:

- Drivers License or state ID- Social Security card- Work Authorization if not

yet a US citizen

Build networks of help and support.Tell family and friends that you need ajob.

Consider part-time jobs temporarily.

A job search is hard work!

Start looking for work right away.

Get organized. Keep good records and

follow up on every job application.Dont just wait for a phone call.

Apply to many jobs, not only thosefrom ads.

Consider what jobs you can do. A newjob can be a chance to try using oldskills in new ways.

Join job-search clubs. Youre not alone! Stay physically active, hopeful.

Consider including on job

applications or resumes:

Past jobs, schools, classes and training,computer skills.

Some unpaid work may show skillsimportant to a job. If so, list hobbies,volunteering, other activities orcomputer skills, even those learned athome.

Awards and involvement in yourneighborhood, place of worship, schoolor PTA that show your skills.
