Action steps
- • Write down five skills from your life experience (parenting, volunteering, hobbies, past jobs). For each one, list three jobs where that skill matters.
- • Write or update your resume. Include your skills, work history, and education. Use action verbs and numbers. Have someone proofread it for spelling and grammar.
- • Practice the STAR method. Write out answers to five common interview questions. Practice saying them out loud. Ask a friend to do a mock interview with you.
- • Write a plan before you start the job. What will you learn? Who will you talk to? How will you stand out? Review it weekly.
