Career Tips by Kriss Colville  Tip #1 – school records: remember—when you graduate and start looking for a job, your school records will be reviewed. Employers now check your school records for grades, conduct, etc. Also your credit will be checked. So please, have a good, clean record. Tip #2 – finish school: finish high school, and consider continuing your education. Research career information, and develop computer skills. If you didn’t finish high school, get your GED. Tip #3 – computer career: if you want a career with computers, start learning while in grade school. Most classes now have computers in the classroom. Enroll in computer courses. Make sure you take a typing class also. It’s important to learn how to type and write letters, and other documents properly. Tip #4 – Nursing: have you ever thought of being a nurse? If you become a nurse you will always be able to find a job. The U.S. is in great need of nurses, and other health care workers. You can find out about being a nurse by contacting your local guidance councilor at school. Also, contact your nearest nursing school, and they will be happy to send you some information. Tip #5 – secretary: If you want to be a secretary, or have another type of office job start now for your future employment.
