Students are often overwhelmed with the prospect of where and how to start looking for a job. Here are four simple ways to get students started.

1. List three people, not in your immediate family, that you want to tell you are looking for a job. Think of people who have contact with lots of other people. List their names, addresses, and the types of work they do.

2. List three businesses or companies where you might like to work. Give names and addresses for each.

3. If you have worked before, write the name and address of any former employers who might help you find a new job.

4. Using a recent copy of your newspaper, circle two want ads that are jobs you might be interested in.
