Finding Office work

Create a resume and have it ready for when you begin to make contacts. Be sure to include all of the office machines you can run. For some employers, knowing that you can and have sent a fax will make a difference. Also be sure to include any computer applications you can run, especially important are spreadsheets and word processing programs. Print out a copy of the resume to have on hand when you’re making you’re calls
Step2Pick up a local newspaper and carefully look through the employment section of the classifieds. While newspapers advertising is down right now, many local businesses will advertise with the local newspaper before they advertise online. When looking at newspaper advertisements be sure to follow the directions in the ads. If it says “no calls,” don’t call.
Step3Go on-line and check your local Employment Security Commission for listings. Most of the time getting in contact with employers who list their jobs with Employment Security Commission can only be done through the commission, so be prepared to either go to the commission or spend time on the phone to get in touch with them, so they can get you in touch with a interested employer. While you're on-line check Web sites such as Monster.com or CareerFinder.com.
Step4Sit down with the phone book and start making cold calls. Begin by asking for the office manager. Once you’ve reached he/she ask if they have any positions open. Most office managers, whether they have an opening or not, will ask you to send your resume. Even if they say they don’t have any positions open send the resume. They may know that someone is going to leave soon, or if your resume is impressive enough they may make a position for you.
