Where should I look for a job? |
I am moving to a new city soon and need a new job. I am in my 20s. I have been working in an office doing bookkeeping, secretarial things and a wee bit of accounting type work for 3 1/2 years. I don't have a college degree. I want to have a similar job wherever I move. Where do I find an "office assistant" or secretary position I might love? What are some good companies to apply for? I thought about applying to be a bank teller or something, but do you have to have a college degree for that? How do I go about searching for a job besides looking in papers or online? Is it ok to just go into a business and say 鈥淚 need a job鈥?even if they may not have an ad posted or anything? My current job just kind of fell in my hands so I don鈥檛 really have good job hunting skills. And, is a r茅sum茅 crucial? Thanks for the help. There is nothing wrong with approaching offices, such as Dr's. offices or others and keep resume handy and with you. But watching the paper and on line are still good ways. Also check with the unemployment office to see what they have available and any suggestions they may have. They don't all post that they are hiring, so people that aren't in contact don't know. Take a couple full days each week and seek what you are looking for. You don't have to have a college degree to be a bank teller. In order to qualify for a bank teller, you must have handled lots of cash and be energetic. Like if you worked at Macys before, you would qualify to be a bank teller. If a company is not hiring and you are interested in working there, you must perform informational interviews with the hiring manager. Never go in and say I need a job. that is pushy. Informational interviews is just about finding information on how that person got started in his/her career. Of course a resume is critical. You can't find work anymore without one.
