This section is made up of sixty-two stories that individuals have shared with us in lengthy interviews. The primary goal of the stories was to capture individuals’ experiences in seeking, applying for, and obtaining their first full-time job, whether it be during high school, after college, or even later in life. These stories are told in narrative form, as an anthology, to bring to life the actual voices of the people who offered their experiences for readers to learn from. The ending of each section (i.e., narrative) includes direct advice that each interviewee would offer to a reader who is looking for their first job, often tailored to the specific industry being discussed.
