There are many reasons why you need to look for work. It is always a good idea to sit down before you start looking for work and figure this out.

Some of the general reasons are:

• Financial security
• To be able to travel
• Increase in self-worth/confidence and self-esteem
• To feel you are contributing to the community in some way
• To own a car/house/boat/business
• To gain independence

And the list goes on....

After you have worked out why you want to work, you then need to be sure that you are ready to start looking.
