[nabs-l] job search strategies

[Ashley Bramlett]

Rania,
Since you're still in school you have those resources.  Use your career 
center if you have one.  You have to know what kind of job you want; I guess 
its not massage related since you don't have your license.  Ask other 
students and your professors about vacancies.   I am guessing you want 
something tempoary since after you get your license you'll do something else 
permanent.  Maybe a temp agency could help you.
