Job Searching in 3 steps

1. Finding An Open Position:
   There are many places where you can find job listings:
   
   • The job registry at the Training Center/Local 6434
   • Internet (If you do not have internet access at home, visit your local library or the Training Center).
2. Applying:
   Resume
   A resume is a list of your educational and professional experience. The resume lets the employer know who you are. Make sure to include your personal information, including name, address, and phone number. Include your work experience, starting with the most recent first. Do not forget to include duties, dates of employment, and location.
   Cover Letter
   Include a cover letter when sending a resume to an employer. The cover letter introduces you to the employer. Some examples of the information you can include in the letter are:
   • How you found out about the job opening
   • An explanation of your resume
   • An explanation of any special training that you have completed (including languages you speak)
3. Interviewing:
   The interview gives you a chance to make a good impression on the employer. Prepare yourself for an interview by doing the following:
• Find information about the company and the position
• Dress professionally.
• Show good manners.
• Be prepared to answer questions including:
a) Why should we hire you?
