Knowing what type of job you are looking for, using what skills, greatly influences you job search. If you have not already, we recommend checking out both our section on identifying “What job suits me?” and The UNCW career center.
What should I consider in my search?
- Location (where do I want to be? How far do I want to drive?)
- What skills are people looking for?
- Employment benefits
- Work schedule
- Opportunities for advancement
- Previous experience
