wolfy42 10/14/18 2:23:40 AM #16:	If you want help putting together your resume I wouldn't mind, I'm quite good at it. Seriously if you have worked any job, volunteered at all, gone to school etc, you can make it look good on paper, and it just has to be good enough to get you an interview. Best thing to do honestly though is volunteer in that field for now, and that will get you in contact with people who might employe, you. Find a job you really want and tell them your willing to work for free while being trained buy you really want to work for their company (research it first and have good reasons why). I got a job teaching before I even started working on my teaching credentials that way once....as it has been said often, it's who you know, but......you can put yourself in positions to get to know the people that will help you land the job you want. --- "did you steal my f***in signature" Helly <cite>wolfy42 posted [p:910495881] in I'm drafti...

wolfy42 10/14/18 2:36:52 AM #19:	Well, first step is to find a job you actually wouldn't hate to do, hopefully that uses whatever degree you just got as well (though that isn't mandatory, find something you actually want to do). As far as paying bills, you can work at night at a job while you volunteer in the field you actually want to do, until you can actually start getting paid for it. As an example when I was 19 I worked graveyward at Carl's Jnr (actually really liked the job) while going to a vocational school (Valecetos CET) to get my electronic techs degree for 9 months. That wasn't volunteering but it's the same concept (only you generally don't volunteer full time lol). First step though is figuring out what you want to do, that is more important then a good resume as you can flavor your resume towards whatever job/field you are applying for....so you kinda need that info first. --- "did you steal my f***in signature" Helly <cite>wolfy42 posted [p:910496220] in I'm drafti...

At first, I wanted to be an actuary, but now I'm not so sure anymore. Try not to worry if you have not figured it out yet. People change, plans change, circumstances change. I spent 5 years prepping for military service (4 years JROTC and 1 year ROTC), then was denied due to medical stuff. Had to change course on a dime and decided to pursue law. Got my prelaw degree, then the job market for that completely fell through around here (offices wanting 8+ years of experience, $9 an hour pay for paralegal work). Now I am attempting to get into teaching here. Got all my tests taken care of, and about to start shooting out applications, as soon as I get back from visiting my ailing grandfather.
