First time job seekers have the hardest time in finding their first job.In the case of graduates，many universities will have dedicated placement personnel who will assist students in finding their first job.Specialist tutors are also likely to have a network of individuals in the commercial world who might occasionally take on recent graduates，so never underestimate the help that you can get from this area.Its always worth asking your fellow students where they spent any job placement years and you can see if its worth approaching any of those companies.People generally like to help others，so dont be afraid to ask for any assistance that you can get freely like this.Similarly，if school and college leavers have an interest in a particular subject，they should talk to their teacher or lecturer in that subject and discuss career options.It could be that they could point you in the right direction by at least identifying companies that could use your particular skills.The problem that many younger people have is that they simply dont know what they want to do once they have finished their education.Therefore，its important for anyone leaving education to understand their own strengths and to determine what their particular skills are. The student job seeker should put a CV(履历)together based on what theyd like the employer to consider.Highlight your education，but instead of focusing on the actual qualifications and talk about the amount of learning that was involved.If you have completed any kind of work during your student work，be certain to mention it and what you gained from it. Although a CV isnt the only factor in helping you find your first job，its still a potential dooropener，so you should make it a document that is a compelling sales tool for you.语篇解读：本文作者给正在找第一份工作的年轻人提供了一些有益的建议。5.
