you have been focusing on did not offer the kind of employment possibilities you were expecting.

help you to discover different trades and occupations that may fit your skills and work experience. With that
goal in mind, follow each of the following steps.

Read the job description and make sure
it fits your skills or previous work
experience. Click on View all job titles.
In the list that appears, identify the job
titles that you think match your trade
or occupation and that, at first glance,
interest you. Write them down on a
piece of paper, as they could be new
job avenues worth exploring.
