Some of the best employment advice ever given is to know or think about what you want and what you are good at before you decide on or commit to a specific career.
You should not let yourself be forced into a career by circumstances or family when you know you will be unhappy.
You must choose a career that fits you, your talents, skills and personality, if you truly want to have a happy life.
If you become established in a career you do not like, consider taking courses at an online university or taking evening courses at a college in a different industry or path.
You can easily change careers mid-stream if you take this route.
Nothing changes life more than getting an advanced education.
Learning new skills and gaining knowledge can move someone from a fast food job to a corporate office in only a few years.
If you are unsure what is available for you, or you need advice on financial aid for college, check online at the various student aid websites.
Colleges and universities, whether online or ground, have academic advisors that can answer your questions.
You may have an idea what you would like to do for a living but have no idea how to get it started.
These counselors can help put you on the right path to your career goal.
If you have a good education and are looking for a position in the corporate world, make sure you have a polished resume to give to all potential employers.
This is the first impression your future employer will ever have of you.
You must make sure it is easy to read, that your accompanying application is filled out legibly and completely and that all of the relevant information the employer will need is displayed clearly.
Mention your education, additional training and natural skills when and if they are relevant to the job to which you are applying.
Choose the best personal and business references you can.
When you are called in for an interview, present yourself as a professional in attire and behavior.
It is okay to feel nervous as hiring managers will expect this.
Being confident and calm is better, however, so try to remain as relaxed as possible.
Before your interview do some background research on the company so that you will know a little about who you are interviewing with.
