Weekend job? Part time? Full time?

Whatever kind of job you’re going for, the way to go about it is much the same ... ( For info regarding employment law, pay, etc, see the Holiday Jobs fact file.)

Young people change job at average of four times in their first three years of employment.

Where to look

Jobs are advertised in:

*Job vacancy(空缺) websites

*Newspapers (local and national)

*Recruitment agencies

*Shop windows

You could also take your CV along your local high street---- even if they have no vacancies you can show them how excellent you are, so when they do have a vacancy you’ll be the person they call.

What’s a CV?

It stands for Curriculum Vitae, and is basically one side of A4 containing your personal details, skills and experience. You can find out how to do a CV via the links below.

Covering letters & application forms

You need to send a cover letter with a CV, and some employers want you to complete an application form. There’s detailed information on cover letters and application forms in the websites listed below.

Not got any experience?

Everyone has to get a first job, and you can big up your transferable (可轉(zhuǎn)換的) skills on your CV. If the job description asks for “Excellent communication skills” or “ Organizational skills”, you can mention occasions when you had to use these skills, e.g. being a monitor or getting all your coursework in on time.

The interview

If an employer rates your CV/application form, you’ll be invited to an interview. The general rules of interviews are:

* Dress a little smarter than those who do the job already.

* Turn up on time.

* Greet the person who’s interviewing you by name: “Hi Joe/Mr Smith (depending on which you’d think they prefer), nice to meet you”.

* Tell the truth.

* Think about what questions you’ll be asked and prepare your answers in advance.
