Looking for a job

[Blade3562]

Not every job is fun, especially when you aren't through with education. While I was in school I worked at a gas station for 3 years barely above minimum wage, as well as at a car dealership as a porter/detailer, for a construction company and even a fluid power shop employee just to make money to do the stuff I enjoy.

If you are passionate about a certain field, look for an internship. That's how I got my foot in the door with aviation. I applied for a high school/college internship with the city of cleveland in airport management. I got placed in Airport Operations at KBKL. When I graduated I was offered a full time job with the city of cleveland as an Airport Operations Agent I at KCLE and once I complete my probabtion will be promoted to an Airport Operations Agent II back at KBKL or I can stay at KCLE. (But I prefer KBKL)

However there are other options. Look at rental car facilites (being bi-lingual is a huge plus), maybe find a small company in your area and ask if they would be willing to let you shadow or work as an administrative assistant for little to no income at first, car dealerships, flight attendants, audio video stores, car stereo install places, manufacturing, or if you're lucky maybe even a skilled apprenticeship.

If you are really passionate and can find a backer maybe start your own detail company. Two of my friends run their own. One of them currently details ferraris, lambos, even one of the local P1s. He, his brother and myself plan to open up a shop once we save up enough cash.

The path to success isn't some smooth paved road, its the one you have to build and travel yourself. None of us can just magically make things happen for you.
