So, how was your first week at your new job?
It was great! I made a lot of new relationships!
Good for you! Now, what did you learn about finding a job?
Well, I think that patience and perseverance are super important.
Yes, that’s for sure!
What did you learn about planning ahead for the job search?
Well, number one, make sure you are qualified for the job you want.
I also think that planning ahead can really accelerate the job search process.
Good point. If you search for jobs that you are not qualified for, you are
probably just wasting your time!Johanna

Exactly. On the other hand, if you do come across a job you really want, but
are not qualified for, it’s a good idea to research the education or
experience needed. That could be a future job!

Alicia See you!
You made a good point there!
I also think that it’s important that you research the organization that
you want to work for.
So true. They may ask you what you know about the company. It’s a good
idea that you have an answer for that question.
Probably!
So, true. You never know what they are going to ask.
That’s for sure. If you can’t answer that question you wont get that job.
No, you’d have to look for employment somewhere else!
Johanna I think it’s important that you prepare for a variety of interview questions.
Anyway, I have to go now. I’ll see you on the weekend!
