Think about jobs that
interest you – what looks fun or interesting. Look to see where you friends
are working and see what they think. The best way to find out about a job
is talk with someone who works there. If you have an idea of what you may
want to do later in life you should look at jobs that are along that field.
For instance, if you would like be a veterinarian, apply at veterinarian
clinics, local pet stores or the zoo. If you would like to be a cook, try
to find a job at a restaurant – you would probably be able to work your way
in to the kitchen after you show interest and good work skills. If you
enjoy your work, chances are you will be happier, work harder, and be
promoted quicker.
What other interests do you have? Can
you think of at least three hobbies or activities you are interested in?
