I grew up and my parents always wanted me to just be a kid and always told me I will have plenty of time to work when I am older. Now that I am older I am fortunate enough to have been able to experience this and have a much better understanding of why my parents felt that way. I was able to just focus on school, sports I was involved in, and social life with friends and family around me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-secondary-background-color has-text-color has-background\">In terms of sharing my experiences from the perspective of an applicant for the last job for which I applied has not happen. Though I can speak from experience about the process I am currently in now looking for job postings and getting ready to apply for jobs. As I am finishing up school soon and finally ready to make that first step and becoming an applicant for various jobs I have interest in. As of right now currently I have had the toughest time finding jobs that I will qualify for and meeting those requirements\/qualifications that are necessary. For my trying to determine if the job is even worth my time applying for has been a challenge in my process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-secondary-background-color has-text-color has-background\"> My experiences from interactions with companies in the job application process have impacted my desire to work for them in the future. With companies that I have talked with some have been pushy and I have not liked that. After a few conversations with a recruiter I have felt the companies style and the job they are looking to fill doesn&#8217;t match up with who I am as a persona and what I would enjoy doing. Throughout the process I have learned to be patient and keep networking and not trying to force finding and applying for a job that isn&#8217;t going to be right. When company culture values, and the job itself line up with what I am looking for no doubt my interest and desire goes up tremendously for that company and I have found that to be true for a few companies in the industry I am looking to get into in the near future. One last note I want to mention is it is okay to say no or move on from a company if you are not feeling comfortable or right moving forward. In my past experiences it has been easier to let companies know that I appreciate everything but I want to head in a different direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQd7RhJaSt5cHyOKFXCcKdHmEdpcQeELWyAJQ&amp;usqp=CAU\" alt=\"How to Write the Perfect Job Application Email | Elegant Themes Blog\" width=\"482\" height=\"271\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So for myself I have never had a job or even applied for a job before.
