have when they’re undertaking a job
search I think it’s important for people

expectations are within a number of

their time expectations time regarding
how long are they willing to look for

for work as well as how much time are
they willing to commit to their job
search there are also other expectations
regarding things like salary the type of
work they’re willing to do whether or
not they’re willing to accept a
volunteer position or an internship how
