Ridaa’s Answer

Getting a job is a fun and exciting process! Sometimes it can take months to get a job, but think of the end goal! One of the long ends of the pole is getting started! You'll want to create a CV or resume which highlights your strengths, skills and professional experiences to date. If you haven't worked before, that's okay, because you have surely done volunteer work at some point in your life and that's valuable and have skills or interests that you can talk about! Start there. Think about "what would make you a great candidate" for any job that you're applying for - what skills do you have today, what skills do you want to learn, and what kind of job would you want to do. Get a Linkedin profile ready, prepare for conversations by watching youtube videos and reading articles to help build and boost your confidence. The most important thing about interviews is being prepared, presentable and having an understanding of the company that you are applying for.

Grace’s Answer

Hello Caden, embarking on your first job can indeed seem daunting, but remember, your initial job doesn't need to be your lifelong career. Embrace the opportunity to explore different paths, experiment, and understand that each job you undertake is a golden opportunity to acquire new skills and knowledge.

Take working in a restaurant for instance - it's not just about serving tables. It's a platform where you can hone your communication skills, get a glimpse into the workings of a business, learn conflict resolution, and gain insights into understanding the needs of customers.

So, instead of viewing your job merely as a task, perceive it as a stepping stone to learning and growth.

Here's wishing you the best of luck, Caden!

Taylor’s Answer

Getting your first job is a fun experience! I remember mine was working in a restaurant in high school. Your first job most likely will not be your forever job but is an opportunity to try something new and build your skills in a desired field.

First, I would think about what you would like to do. If no specific role comes to mind, starting researching different industries. Think about your favorite hobbies and activities - is there any work related to these you would be interested in? Once you have some ideas in mind, look at online job boards and websites, and talk to family and friends to see if they know of any opportunities.

Don't be too picky or focused on finding the perfect job, something will come around with effort. Be open to opportunities that come your way and don't be afraid to take a job that you are unsure of. You may surprise yourself with how much you enjoy it and how well suited you are for it.

Working has a student is such a great learning and growth opportunity. You can start testing out roles and industries you may want to focus on in the future and start building out your resume!

Anna’s Answer

Landing the first job can be such a struggle. Something I found to be helpful was always saying yes. I went to the networking events and mingled. I asked about several different postings even if they seemed a little out of reach for me.
And I realized that a first job isn’t forever, so don’t stress about getting a apot at your dream company or doing your ideal job first because sometimes the skills you learn at your first job help you land your dream job.

Plus lots of patience and support. Be open with friends and family members if you’re struggling. It’s a rough time and everyone goes through it; they’ll understand.
