Welcome To The Jobs & Careers Channel

Some of us have a very clear idea from an early age about the type of career we would like when we leave school. The rest of us may change our minds many times as we get older, or have no clear idea at all about what we would like to do even after we've left school. So in order to help you along with the world of jobs & careers we've taken a look to see what your options are.

If you're still at school and trying to decide your future, making career choices can be a major headache. But taking some time now to have a think will help you in the future.

Whether you secretly strive to be an MSP, or wanna keep Paolo Nutini on his toes, the key to loving what you do and doing what you love, is making a decision that suits your skills, talents and abilities.

Young Scot's Job & Careers channel can put you in the picture by giving you the low-down on what's out there. Find out about leaving school, training options, tips on looking for work, interview skills, apprenticeships, to what to do when you want to leave a job.

Even if you're still at school it's useful to know your rights as an employee (whether it's a part-time job during the summer or something more) and learn to survive the world of work.
