3. How should someone new to the workforce get a J-O-B like yours? |
|
If someone wanted to go about getting a job similar to yours, what would you recommend for him or her to do?
It's all about who you know. I got this job through a student job I worked over a summer. I just sent out e-mails when I was close to graduating and asked if there were any position available that I would like.

What
skills do you think a person should have if they want to pursue a
position like yours? Please be specific and explain why (e.g., social

They should be responsible and able to get work done without immediate deadlines. That is one of the hardest parts for other people with jobs like mine. Also, you need an IT background. I make websites, so HTML and Dreamweaver are a plus.
