The First Steps - Helping young job seekers to find their first job
The First Steps Youth Job Search Program is an interactive website developed to help young job seekers gain their first workplace opportunity. It guides them through the process of putting a résumé together when they have never worked before, conduct a job search, prepare for an interview and make sound decisions regarding a job offer. It also helps to point young job seekers in the right direction, assisting them to develop the self-awareness, goals, common sense, and confidence required to get a job and succeed in it.
The First Steps program has been developed into an interactive online resource aimed at the 15—25-year-olds most likely to be looking for their first workplace opportunity.
The project is promoted through the Rotary Clubs of Southbank (District 9800) and Huon Valley (District 9830, Tasmania).
