📖 Looking for work? (Show/Hide)

Looking for work can be stressful, especially when you are worried about having "marketable" skills. One way to find a job is to network with people in your community letting them know that you are looking for employment. If you know the type of work you’re looking for, then make a list of all the employers and organizations in the community that offer that kind of work. Next, personally hand deliver a resume, if possible, and let the company know that you’re interested. Below you will find some possible opportunities which might help you network and develop skills while earning money.
