Job Hunting Ideas
Why
- Because sometimes it comes up in class and it seemed a good idea to keep all the info in one places.
- Because I expect people who are engaging in “Career Searching” already have something in mind, while those who are just hunting for a job are willing to experiment and try new things.
- Because I needed somewhere logical to recommend that students who are looking for work talk to ACA’s Career Counsellor, Debbie Scott (dscott at this school dot com) for much better information and advice than I can give.
