How to Find a Job in 2022

 Some of you may be overwhelmed with how many resources there are for finding a job in today's market. There are hundreds of job boards online, career fairs, networking events, you name it. Even though it may seem intimidating at first, I am here to tell you that it is best to start small. Do some poking around online and see what interests you out there. Take it one step at a time when looking for a job. Maybe start by looking at potential jobs on sites like Indeed and LinkedIn. Talk with good friends and relatives to see if they know someone in a field you are interested in. The bottom line is to take it slow and find a job that is a good fit for you. Try your best to avoid jumping into a new job too quickly only to discover that it is a poor fit. 

Here is a job posting that I found on LinkedIn that I would happily apply for.

The employer is Bombardier or BRP for short and what I know about them is they are a recreational products manufacturer. They have snowmobile brands like Ski-Doo and Lynx. They make wave runners under the brand name Sea-Doo and boat brands Alumacraft, and Manitou. They used to make Evinrude outboards until they shut down that division in 2020. BRP also makes Can-am off-road vehicles and on-road vehicles like Spyder trikes. Bombardier also makes airplanes under a different division.
