Conestoga Career Centre offering advice for students looking for jobs

Summer break is here for high school students and for some that means it’s time to find a job. That can be a difficult task, especially for teenagers who lack formal job experience.

Alan Roper with the Conestoga Career Centre says they can help. Roper says employers know students lack experience:

Roper adds employers are more looking for skills than experience when it comes to teenage employees:
