            Now you know what you need to do to find a well suited job for you.  You know what skills you must possess in order to excel at these jobs.  Now what you need to know is where to find information on these careers and what is important to look for.

           
            There is information on every job, company, business, etc all over the place you just have to know where the best places to look are.  The internet is a great place to do initial research on a job.  The only problem is with all the websites how do you know which one to choose.  Again www.careercruising.com is a site that can give you all the information you need.  Simply log on and search the job you are looking into.  It will come up with a list and select the one you would like to research.  From there it will take you to a page that gives you an overall view of the job and has links to more detailed information.  Once you get the basic idea of the job your next step would be to try and talk to someone in the position you are looking into.  They can give you an inside idea of what it's like as the job you're interested in.  If you can't get in touch with someone in the specific position try getting in touch with someone with a similar job.  Finding the information on the position is a great way to make sure the job is right for you.

           
             While you are looking for information there is some things you should pay special attention too.  Education required is a huge factor for you to pay attention to.  If you find that a certain job requires a university degree but you personally would rather go to college then it is more likely that the job you are looking into may not be right for you.  Another thing that is important to look for is working conditions.  If you enjoy being hands on and the working conditions are normally in an office for the majority of the day then, again you may not enjoy that specific job.  You’re also going to want to look at a sample career path.  This will give you an idea of advancement opportunities and how to get there.  The final and possibly most important information to look for when researching a job is none other than the pay.  This is very self-explanatory.  We all want to make money we ourselves set goals for how much we aim to make.  That is why the pay of a job is something that attracts or repels many people towards it.  These are the major things for you to keep an eye out for when researching the jobs that interest you.

            Now let’s recap.  You know what skills you have and how to use them in order to excel within the workplace.  You know about jobs that interest you and now you know where to find information on these jobs and what is important for you to look for.  You are just about ready to go out and apply!
