Experts interviewed by Wallet Hub gave the site a few tips for young adults entering the seasonal job search.
“Start by figuring out why you want a job,” said Dave Ulrich, a business professor at the University of Michigan and a partner at the RBL Group. “Is it to get money? To learn a skill or have an experience? To spend time with friends? Once you know why you want a job, the best way to find a job is through your network.”
When asked what type of jobs applicants or interns should pursue, Ulrich advised prioritizing skills over money.
“If the internship is more about skills and experience than money, do not obsess about the pay; work for the experience,” Ulrich said. “You are building your resume, not your bank account and the company or individual you choose should be someone respected in your career path.”
