Childcare Worker

I was able to get my job actually through social media. My sister-in-law's sister, who I follow on Instagram, was in need of a nanny and I've just been in college and I was looking for a job that wasn't super demanding and was a little bit more flexible as my school schedule was subject to change. So I actually messaged her when she put out a thing on her Instagram story asking if anyone was looking for a job to nanny. Her two little girls and I reached out to her and I think because she knew me and she knew that I was trustworthy and she knew a lot about my family, I was able to get hired right away. It's been a great way for me to earn some extra money but still not work a lot of hours so I can focus on school. So that's how I got my job.

How I got my first job is that I applied online, but then after two days of waiting, after they sent a confirmation of interview and then never gave a time, I decided to walk in there in person, be very cordial and courteous, and ask them right on the spot to see the manager to talk about their open positions. It showed them that I have confidence and that I'm willing and ambitious to get something done, and they very much appreciated that, and they gave me the job on the spot.

I got my job through the app care.com. I would highly recommend that app. I felt like it was very helpful in connecting people looking for caretakers and caretakers to families. I did apply to quite a few jobs and did not ever hear back, which I thought was odd, but I did find a job in there and I've known other people that I found jobs on there as well.
