People start their first job at a variety of ages. Some people chose to start work straight after their GCSE’s, as soon as they are legally old enough to do so, whilst others may not actually start looking for work until they are in their mid 20’s due to a university course.
Choosing which career path to take has to be decided based on your own personal circumstances and career that you wish to go in to. There is no set right or wrong time, everyone is different and many will follow different routes (sometimes even in to the same job).
When you come to look for your first job, it can be extremely daunting and you may feel a little overwhelmed on how to go about it. Depending on what industry and job role you wish to go for, can determine where you need to look. For example, if you are looking for teaching jobs then these are normally advertised in local papers, government / local authority websites and specialist sites such as TES.
