How do I get started on finding jobs post-grad?

Hello, I am a graduating senior this coming Spring 2023. I am quite nervous about finding a job before I graduate because I am unsure what are the next steps. Since I am still in school, how do I kickstart the process? The time is ticking and I am quite nervous about it. My background: - I am going to graduate with a BA in Psychology. - I've had experience working with children from K-8th grade. I am looking for people-oriented jobs where I work with others to help them learn and grow. I am not interested in going to grad school at the moment, so I'd prefer jobs that would train me or is easy to pick up.

What are some interesting remote jobs that are available right now?

Even with a bachelors degree, looking for a job has been very challenges these past 6 months. I would like to find a job that is remote, interesting, flexible (optional), and allows me to travel while I pursue my dreams. Just want to reiterate that this is a "hope and dream" of mine. Just need some remote job suggestions, maybe even some links to remote jobs that no one knows about right now. I would really appreciate the feedback, resources, and help. Thank you so much. #job-search #job #jobsearch #career #career-counseling #remote #remotejobs #workfromhome #travelingjobs #travel

What are your thoughts on LinkedIn for high school students? Do you recommend it?

I've already done quite a bit of research on this topic, and have found that most professionals advocate for high school students to have one to increase their digital footprint (positively). I still want to hear more input from professionals, and what they think! Just to put into perspective, I'm in grade 10 and looking to acquire an internship by the end of grade 11 (as I have mentioned many times on this forum). #internship #college #job-search #job #career #networking
