The Kind of Job You Want The first step in a successful search for a job is to decide on the kind of job you want and the kind you are qualified for.

• Do you like to work outdoors?

• Do you like to work with others?

Next, talk to as many people as possible about your job interests and concerns. Talk to your friends, neighbours, and your family or relatives. These contacls may help you to get more information about different jobs; to form a "network" of people interested in helping you; to find people who work (or who know people who work) in the area of your interest; each discussion will give you additional practice in expressing yourself.

Now when you know the kind of job you want, the next question to answer is "Where can 1 find that job?"

4. Is it important to be your own boss?

5. What is your idea of a perfect job? A perfect boss? A perfect colleague?

4. Write a short description of a perfect job, someone you like (or dislike) in your personal or professional life.

MODEL: In our heart of hearts we all dream of an ideal job. In my opinion, it depends on such factors as job satisfaction, type of work, flexibility of the desirable job and expected incomes.
