ReplyDelete"Well, school is almost out, and our young people have a ugly chance of finding jobs. I remember when McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell first opened up here in town, I thought I was to Good to be working at those places..me, with no experience wanted more money..lol now that I think about it.
BUT what I want to know from you is: What advice would you give a graduating student going out looking for a job today? My number 1 is: Wear a belt! #2: Don't go out with purple, pink and green weave in your heads! #3 is don't get discouraged, it you can't find a job, do some voulenteer work, you can get experience from that..any other suggestions?
Oh yes, and don't go out looking for work like you're going to go out for the evening..dress to impress the employer, not yourself! #RandomThougtsGoingThroughMyMind.
(thank you, Dena)
