Ask Yourself These Questions

  • How much money do I hope to bring home?
  • Do I want to work in an office or try something remotely?

The Time Is Now

  • Join LinkedIn, this is a social network of professionals. Take the time to fill out all your info and take a professional photo of yourself. Connect with friends and companies you are interested in working with., continue to grow your network. The more eyes on you the more chances you'll succeed
  • Update your resume to fit the jobs you are wanting to apply for. You can tweak each resume, using the main copy to work off of, and also write a cover letter that is specific for each job.
  • Double and triple-check your spelling and other grammatical errors for basic things like misspellings, not providing your contact information, or not paying attention to the fact you still have the original copy and paste box sitting in the middle of your resume. These simple mistakes are ALL reasons your resume gets thrown in the trash. It might seem harsh but on the flip side, if you can't catch these small mistakes, what's to say you won't carry that on after you are hired. Best foot forward people.
  • Don't forget to take a moment to clean up your social media pages. Yes, the company doesn't own you but you do represent them so remove the photo of you smoking a blunt or throwing up the bird, just in case. I recently had a client not want to work with me based on something I posted on my professional page. You do you but be mindful if you can.

Where Is a Great Spot for Job Searching?

  • Indeed has been a fantastic resource for me. You can filter your search for your city, the amount you want to make, and set it to show the most recent job listings.
  • City of ... each city has a long list, sometimes pages of available jobs in different fields
  • School District ... same for every single school district. From cooks to maintenance and more, skies the limit so really go for it.
  • Worksource is a fantastic one-stop-shop for assistance with resumes, setting up mock interviews, and more all to help you find the right fitting position.

What's Next?

  • Apply, apply, apply for all the jobs you think would be a good fit, and even those outside your comfort zone, you never know what could happen.
  • Remember to take time to work on yourself. Maybe start a workout program, go on daily walks or start meditating. Anything to help keep your mind bright and ready for what comes next. Stress can really alter your mood and you'll need all the good vibes you can grab while searching.

Loads of luck and here's what's currently available around our area.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery. Keep reading to find out what the best beer is in each of the 50 states and Washington D.C.

LOOK: Here are the pets banned in each state

Because the regulation of exotic animals is left to states, some organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, advocate for federal, standardized legislation that would ban owning large cats, bears, primates, and large poisonous snakes as pets.

Read on to see which pets are banned in your home state, as well as across the nation.

RANKED: Here are the most popular national parks

To determine the most popular national parks in the United States, Stacker compiled data from the National Park Service on the number of recreational visits each site had in 2020.
