Hello!

I am a 21 year old Folsom resident looking for work. I'm taking some time off of university in order to figure out a career path, and I need a job!

Craigslist has gotten me nowhere- I've sent in my resume to at least ten ads & have attempted to follow up but I have not received any responses. I've applied to Sports Authority over in Broadstone & Ciro's Pizza but those have been dead ends as well. I was wondering if any of you fine citizens of Folsom knew of job openings in the area.

Any leads are greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi, sm89,

In most job markets, but especially in a very competitive market, you have to make sure your job hunting skills are spot on. Resumes and cover letters have to be very marketing oriented. How you tailor your cover letter, how your market what you've done in your resume, how you complete your application, how you apply (online, in person, both), how you present yourself in manner and in dress, etc. all play key roles in landing interviews and landing jobs. Too many people think those things aren't important for a part-time job; big mistake. I'd be happy to talk with you about your job search and review your resume and cover letter for you; you can reach me at the contact info below.

I noticed a help wanted sign today at Togo's/Baskin Robbins and I've seen other signs up around town in the last few weeks. You're usually better off walking in to businesses with your resume, cover letter and completed application (dressed appropriately) than you are using CraigsList.

Best wishes,

Tilly's the clothing store is being built where Ulta used to be. There's a sign with a phone number in the window that says "now hiring"

Straw Hat Pizza, over by Folsom High School, is looking for a delivery driver. Good Luck!

I believe Target in Folsom is hiring ... go over there and fill in the application in the store itself...

A woman randomly told me today she just got a job at Walmart on Greenback (Orangevale), and they still need more people.
