Getting your first job

Woodworking Network: Over the last year and a half we’ve covered a lot of ground on how to start a woodworking business or how to get one going. This month I thought we should keep it simple. How to get your first job is relevant because the best way to get started is to get your first job.

This article is interesting because while it talks about getting a first job in woodworking, I feel like it's applicable to getting a job at any point and in any industry. The topics like Networking and What Do You Know should be valuable points to anyone looking to get a job at any point in their careers. Something like Social Media isn't always needed by everyone trying to get a job, but the amount of woodworkers I follow on social medias is crazy. I think social media for a wood shop is so invaluable because you get to show off the cool things you are doing and any cool ways you are completing a task. I follow so many of these accounts because there is always interesting tricks you can learn to make a task faster or easier, like when I found a video showing off a cutlist layout program to get cut layouts and order amounts. I think everything in this article is very valuable for someone starting a woodworking business, but can also be applied to almost anyone in the world looking for a job.
