It's a fine place to start. Let everyone know you're currently looking, both your current connections and potential ones who might see your profile by showing it in your profile picture.

Job Boards

Don't miss the big ones like monster.com, Google for Jobs, CareerBuilder and Indeed. Also check specialized job sites like Dice for tech professionals, ArtsThread for artists, and TeamWorkOnline for the sports industry.

Company Websites

Pursue your dream employer by checking out their site for Job listings. This is sometimes listed under Careers.

Friends and Family

A referral makes you 10x more likely to land that job, especially when a friend or family member already works there. Definitely utilize your friends & family network.

Job Fairs

Whether virtual or in-person, a job fair is a great way to connect with recruiters and potential opportunities.

Cold Calling

Even if someone isn't advertising job opportunities, there may be a fit. Ask about upcoming vacancies and always include a copy of your resume. Don't be discouraged if you don't hear back.

An Up-To-Date Resume

Highlight any highly-transferrable skills - anything that you can take from one job to the next.

Informational Interviews

While you wait to hear back on potential job opportunities that you apply for, network with potential coworkers by conducting informational interviews with them. Many people are happy to do this and help someone out in their career. And if you make a connection with someone, it could lead to a potential referral.


All of the above, rinse, repeat. Keep doing all of these things and keep your head up, as it's only a matter of time before you land the perfect gig for you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
