Special To The Post
Okay, seniors, the writer
knows that your priorities
at the present are the prom
and graduation exercises:
summa1 employment tsnot
a priority at the moment.
Well, summer employment
should be a major con
cern, especially for those of
you planning to attend col
lege in the fall. Now is the
time to start looking for a
job.
QUESTION: Where do I
start? Start with yourself
Devise a short resume (one
page) with fre most im
portant infoiroition about
you - general personal'
information, education, job
experience- voluntary and
paid-two or three major
organizations involved in
and three reliable refer
ences. Type this inform
ation (on white typing
paper) in the traditional
resume style and check
your spelling! Make ten to
fifteen copies of the resume
so that you can submit a
resume with each job
application.
Next, look at your ap
pearance. Being “Vogue''

jewelry flashy - in other
words take most of those
gold and silver trinkets
from around your neck,
wrists and out of your ears!
Where do I look for a job?
Start_with your family and
friends; ask if they know of
any job openings at their
places of employment that
you may be qualified for.

Do not expect to land a
glamorous job. Remem
ber, you are not making a
career of it. The purpose of
the Job is to receive work
ing experience and make
some money for school. If
one does not want to work
he will not find a job.
Upon approaching poten

dent. Look at him or her in
the eye when speaking and
being spoken to. Entrance
salutation should be
accompanied by a brief
introduction of yourself
and a firm handshake. An
exit salutation should in
clude a thank you, re
peating of the person’s
name and again a firm
handshake. Most import

to someone. “You know

not be afraid to ask ques

about policies, hours and
potential salary: You also
may want to ask if you may
return to work during .the
December break.

encourage and stress the

how it too can help re

a certain feeling of ac
