Job Search
The following Job Search guide contains a list of employers, websites, and techniques that are most useful in looking for jobs in the Yakima Valley and beyond. A couple of things to remember as you look for and apply to jobs:
- Looking for work is your full-time job until you have one, apply to as many jobs as possible;
- utilize all the resources and techniques listed on the Job Search guide;
- be flexible – you may not get your “dream job” at first –consider jobs that “get your foot in the door” and provide you an opportunity to gain experience and build your resume as you work towards the career you desire.
