Tips for
Practical Job
Hunting
The skill in job hunting lies in per-
suading an employer that you’ve
got the knowledge, skills and atti-
tudes to be a useful member of his
or her workforce.
You’ve got to believe in yourself
before an employer will believe in
you. So think positively! Try writ-
ing a list of statements starting ‘I
think I would make a good em-
ployee because…’ It may sound
like a weird thing to do, but it can
be very confidence-boosting.
Remember … accentuate the posi-
tive.
Get together with a friend, and
help one another draft application
letters and CVs. Read through your
school or youth training record of
achievement, and remind yourself
of all the good qualities you have
to offer an employer.
