‘I just need to get a job, any job’ is very often what young adults leaving formal education believe, and of course there is pressure to earn money and get onto the job ladder. However, we believe it’s important to take some time to work out what you’re really suited to and what you would like to do. If you take the first thing that comes up, there can be a risk that you find yourself leaning your ladder up against the wrong career wall and once in a role, you won’t have the time and energy to find the right path. Ad hoc more informal roles whether volunteering, waitressing and odd jobbing are great ways to make some money whilst you’re searching for the right role for you.
