Before you start your job search:
? Establish your job goal; decide on one or two occupations you want to pursue. ? Find a job counselor (see back) to help you make a resume, practice interviewing and help you find jobs. ? Plan transportation and child care. ? Know the hours and pay you will need. ? Have your documents ready: - Driver’s License or state ID - Social Security card - Work Authorization if not yet a US citizen ? Build networks of help and support. Tell family and friends that you need a job. ? Consider part-time jobs temporarily.

DRAFT
A job search is hard work!
? Start looking for work right away. ? Get organized. Keep good records and follow up on every job application. Don’t just wait for a phone call. ? Apply to many jobs, not only those from ads. ? Consider what jobs you can do. A new job can be a chance to try using old skills in new ways. ? Join job-search clubs. You’re not alone! ? Stay physically active, hopeful.
12
Consider including on job applications or resumes:
? Past jobs, schools, classes and training, computer skills. ? Some unpaid work may show skills important to a job. If so, list hobbies, volunteering, other activities or computer skills, even those learned at home. ? Awards and involvement in your neighborhood, place of worship, school or PTA that show your skills.
