In your letter: say why he/she would not enjoy going to college explain why getting a job is a good idea for him/her suggest types of job that would be suitable for him/her Write at least 150 words. You do NOT need to write any addresses. Begin your letter as follows: Dear ...................,
Dear Julie,
I hope you are doing well. I came to know from your previous letter that you are in a dilemma and wanted my advice about whether you should get a
job
or join a college. However
, as per my experience, I would say try to get a job
as soon as possible.
I know you might be thinking why I said so. Firstly
, colleges give importance to theoretical knowledge
rather than practical knowledge
. Moreover
, you would have to cram all the lessons to get good grades in your courses. Henceforth, I know you would not enjoy that kind of study.
Secondly
, getting a good job
will not only make you financially independent but also
will give you practical knowledge
and enhance your skill sets. This
will give you a broader view of what you want in your life and will also
help you in meeting experienced as well as
professional people.
So, I suggest you find a job
which aligns with your interests. As per my knowledge
, you like SAP and Salesforce technology. So, try to find some entry-level positions such
as Junior Salesforce Admin or System Admin at Glassdoor or LinkedIn I also
suggest you update your LinkedIn profile and increase your networking. I hope this
will help you and if you need any other suggestions please feel free to ask me.
Thank you.
Your friend,
