4. Look in the newspaper and look for help-wanted signs Look at the classifieds of newspapers. Go to the stores you want to work at and ask if they are hiring.

5. Phonebooks The yellow pages can also be a good source of info. The phonebook has white pages and yellow pages. White pages are businesses and people listed alphabetically (by last name, if it is a person). Yellow pages are listed first by category (bagel stores, plumbers, schools, etc.) and then alphabetically by store name.

6. Phonebooks continued After you graduate from college, you will be looking for a CAREER. A job that you will hopefully work at for a long time, will make “lots” of money at, and will be in the field that you went to college for. Yellow pages are good to use when you are trying to find places to apply to for your CAREER.

7. CAREERS Once you find some places you might want to apply to, you may decide to send them a resume. We will discuss how a resume is different from a job application later. YOUR ASSIGNMENT: find 7 places that you can apply to, using the yellow pages of a phone book. (The teacher will now tell you how to do this…)
