Or, you might find the address of the company. Go by yourself, and start exploring the area.
- Ask for help with your friends. After you did almost everything to find a job, but didn't find one, which is possible to happen, ask for help. Ask your friends about good jobs and such. If possible, ask them to talk to their bosses to find you a job, or to make you work with them. In most cases, your friends' bosses might not agree to make you work with them, so keep on asking your friends, family member, or any person you know well.
- For some people, it's best to depend on their selves. If you want, don't wait for your friends, and look for a job on your own. Start asking for simple jobs in stores if you lost your hope finding a job. If that shop asked you to sign any paper, be careful while doing that. Read each paper carefully and don't sign without caring. Some poor shops use that trick, while famous companies doesn't.
- Get interviewed. After you found your dream job, you will be asked to come to an interview to present yourself to other workers and such. Prepare well for that interview. Prove to everyone that work there that you have enough experience to get that job. Your look will be the first thing that will get seen when you first enter the interview. The day before, get a clean suit, good shoes, and work on your hygiene. Also, get enough sleep. You won't be able to focus in the interview if you didn't get enough rest.
- Practice what you're going to say. You will be asked several questions, so be ready to speak. Avoid speaking fast, and have a low voice. You could practice talking with a mirror, or even a friend. The most important thing is to relax while you're in the interview. Don't start worrying about not getting the job. Go to the interview with a lovely smile on your face, and some conversation ideas.
- Explore your job. After you got your job, it's time to explore the area where you do your job. If possible, ask your boss or another worker to help you do that. Take a look at different places at that company, and save notes in your mind. Start going to workers and begin a friendly relationship with them as it will help you around your job. Always remember to do whatever they ask, but be careful not to get used. Do whatever they ask from simple favors, from throwing something in the trash can, to help them do their jobs. Any further favors might be for getting you used.
- Decide whether your job is good or not. If you think that you're in a good position, getting a good salary, and everyone is nice to you, then take this job and stick with it. If you got tricked, and found out that this isn't your dream job, go in a deep thought. Keep in mind that if you left your job, you have to start all over, and getting a job isn't simple as it look like.
