June 29th, 2010 by mcarrolo in Links and Tools

As this semester finishes, many students will enter the world of full time work for the first time. To make this transition easier, it helps to be aware of the changes that a job can make to daily life.

Here at Ultimo TAFE Library we have a solid collection of books, video and other materials relating to job hunting, resume writing, job interview techniques. Why not use the resources we have available in the library inconjunction with the myfuture site to give you a head start in your quest to obtain your first job or that dream job you’ve always wanted.

For information and strategies about moving into a new world of work visit the Moving from Study to Work article on myfuture. This will explain how work changes a student’s life and provides useful tips for making the changes smoothly. For more articles about the world of work and gaining employment visit Get that Job in The Facts section of myfuture.

You can even set up an account with Myfutures that will enable you to “do activities to build your career profile, explore career ideas, consider career options and develop your career plan. ”
