Hi Everybody!
Many thanks to all of you who answered my questions about job searching.
Your help has been very valuable.
I have a few more questions.
I am leaving school in June, so beginning March 29, I will be in my last
quarter. I realize that my computer skills are lacking so I am wondering
which computer classes would be good to take?
Also, since I cannot leave until June, am I beginning my job search and
going all out too early? When is a good time to begin?
In June, will there be a good market for eomplyment?
How does contract employment work?
I find this search to be very exciting and a bit overwhelming. Is there
something I am missing? What else do I need to be doing?
