Tips for school leavers

Thinking about the career and where do you start:

Lets start with getting you thinking about the what you want and how to do it.

Thinking about what to do when you leave school?

Not sure whether to find a job or how to find a job.

You are not alone: - We can help you too … Maybe all you need is to sit with someone and go over career options, think of the things you REALLY like to do. There are so many options out there we just need to get you thinking.

Start the planning now … even if it’s the end of the year you are thinking of finishing up.

We do not want you to find nothing and end up de-motivated.

Ask yourself what you are good at doing. Or what you like to do. Network yourself around and talk to people in business, fellow workers and teachers and school mates.

Make sure your CV stands out from the crowd. Get your self prepared for interviews.

Tips to get you thinking:

	Write a list of industries you may like
	Have you had part time after school job and what did you like about the job
	Make a list of skills you already have gained
	Which of these skills do you enjoy
	Are you involved in any sporting or community groups
	What inspires you
	If you could spend all day doing . ………………………. (think about this one and complete the sentence)
	Do you think you would prefer to work on your own or with a team
	Is there an occupation that fascinates you or perhaps an industry that excites you.
	Do you have a DREAM JOB
	Make a list of job titles
	Make a list of industries that are of interest
	Training ideas – where do you see your self up skilled once leaving school or in a couple of years time – plan your next section of education, even if we are thinking night school.

Best of luck
