[nabs-l] job search strategies

[Rania]

Ashley those are some good questions.
I will be graduating in two months and want to start looking for a place to
work so I at least have something in place while I wait to receive my state
license.
I am looking to stay in my ariea.
So are there any suggestions as to how I can get started?
Rania,

Hi All,

For those of you who graduated and are looking or looked for work, what did
you do?  What was the best source of job leads?  An internet site?  Friends
at the companies you wanted to work for?
Did your rehab counselor give you guidance or someone to work with such as a
job coach?  Did you recieve job development help through VR or your college?

I want to get a clerical position, outreach position, or some position to
use my writing skills.

My VR counselor said she wants me to use Job placement services but did not
elaborate on it; she will in a meeting.  Do you all know what this means and
will this help me?  My gut feeling tells me that a third party attempting to
"sell" me to an employer or place me somewhere- a place I may know nothing
about may not work to my advantage because the employer may not get to know
me and if I get a job then they may not like my personality or something may
not work out in our relationship.

Look forward to your thoughts.

Ashley
