How to get my first job?
“If I had enough money, I would travel to...”
“I would like to feel more independent of my parents, they always pay my whims”
“ I have a friend who got a summer job and discovered he was good at customer service. Besides, he made some pocket money ”
“At your age, I was already working...”
Do these sentences sound familiar? Now you are turning sixteen or seventeen so, among other rights and duties, you could decide to work on the weekends or summer holidays.
Searching for a job is not an easy task, even more so when you have no experience. Youth unemployment rate is high because of leaving school early, but also due to the mismatch of supply and demand between work and education level. Anyway, working part-time is compatible with carrying on studies and this first job wouldn’t be your last one. So where to start? Figuring out which are the best places to find a job, writing a cover letter and a résumé, a self-knowledge test, preparing for an interview... We should do a roadmap!
