How to find the right job for you
Many people nowadays have a problem with finding jobs, with this economy finding a good job is almost impossible. So things to look into when finding a job, what do you enjoy or stores that you go to frequently (places such as clothing, restaurant and such can be very profiting esp. if you go there often and there are people there that like you. This could be your ticket to getting a job there and is a great start up). Even in some fast food places you need some kind of connection, a referral now. Why would you want to work in a fast food place? Well most restaurants wants employees that have had at least 2 years of food related experience. Some require you having worked in two different restaurants. If you are in college and have some free time throughout the year it's great to intern for a company that is right in the field which you wish to major in. Although it's unpaid, it's great for resumes. If you wish to go into the fashion industry or even work in a bank or office your going to need some kind of relevant experience. If you have none but have volunteered that's great to put in your resume as well to boost up your experience. If you need some quick cash, there are always government jobs such as canvass which are people who walk around having people sign their names on petitions and such. It's usually very short (lasts around a month or so) flexible and good pay (range from $10-15 depending on area and may be paid in cash) plus it's a great for your resume. Another would be to handout fliers (not a easy job) the pay may range depending on completing the pile or by every hour, you might get paid from ($7-10 usually) the great thing about these jobs is that they usually pay in cash and is a seasonal job. A site that I enjoy going to is craigslist.org * not all jobs are real, some are spams so you should look up sites provided and see their reviews* Well I hope this was helpful!

How to write a resume
In your resume you should have some kind of work experience. If not you should still write one just in case of an interview or to summit one online. So your name should be on top, it should be the biggest of all fonts because this is what the interviewers wants to see first. Underneath that you can write your contact information such as
email address-telephone#-address or u can begin with your objective (basically who you are and your goal). The contact information can either go on top (under name) or on the bottom ( conclusion of resume), it should be to smallest font. Under the objective is your experiences, order them from most recent on top. If you have more than enough experience and it's taking up too much room then take one of the jobs off ( it should be three of your most recent jobs). Then write a little something about those jobs like what you learned (this is great if you don't have a very long resume. Under that you write your education, if your in college you don't have to write you high school unless it's something like Stuyvesant or Bronx science otherwise it's just something to take up the empty space. Underneath that it's skills- this is great for taking up a lot of space and bragging about yourself. If you have nothing to say then just delete this section. Finally it's language, the more you know the better but if you decide to lie they might find out when they hire you just for that particular language. Example:
