Finding the perfect job?

With all those jobs out there, how is anyone supposed to know which one is most suitable?  Consider these factors:

1. TYPE OF WORK: If you’re a nature-lover, try looking for a job doing lawn maintenance, painting, or construction.  Retail stores are best for someone who enjoys casual contact with a variety of people.  If you prefer a quiet, independent environment, check out the office jobs that are available in your area.

2. TIME CONSIDERATIONS: Part-time jobs vary in the amount of time required each week.  Generally, anything less than 35 hours per week is considered part-time, but most employers are looking for around 20 hours.  Before you start looking for a job, review your schedule and figure out how much time you can spare.  Also, take note of what days and times work best for you; an employer will want to know about your availability and flexibility.

3. TRAVEL DISTANCE: The farther you must travel to get to work, the more money you spend getting there.  Make sure you consider gasoline prices and wear-and-tear on the car, before you accept a job offer.  Also, check to see if public transportation is an option.

4. COMPENSATION: For most people, the decision to work comes down to money.  Take a look at your budget.  Decide how much you’ll need to make each week.  Look for jobs that will help you reach this goal.  And don’t be afraid to ask for more money by explaining your needs.  Most employers are willing to listen, and will try to be fair.
