Job search is always an exciting process. But it becomes even more exciting when you need to get a job without experience, because you don’t even know which area you will get into. Of course, for those who are looking for work, knowing how to do something, getting settled is much easier - even having education is not a priority.
In fact, there are many vacancies where experience is optional. Of course, this is unlikely to be a well-paid job, because big money is paid to specialists in their field. However, there are always vacancies in which skills are not required - for example, deliver food around the city, deliver packages, letters or meet customers. In some areas, employers are only too happy to start training a new employee.
Where to look for vacancies?
Previously, they bought newspapers and looked at vacancies through them. Now almost nothing has changed, only now they are looking for work on the Internet, and the list of offered vacancies has grown significantly. You can register on different sites and subscribe to the newsletter - so you will always stay up to date on the new work.
It is possible to wait until one of the employers responds to your resume - but these expectations can last indefinitely. It is better to act, and before starting the search, you must at least have an idea of the desired position. After all, a courier, freely pacing along the street, and a secretary tied to the office are two different things.
First you need to answer yourself a few questions.
- What kind of job do I like?
- Am I considering a shift schedule? Or am I satisfied with the standard 5-day workload?
- Am I interested in remote work?
- What salary do I need?
- Am I willing to spend time on my way to the office?
- Do I need formal employment?
- Will this work help me to fulfill my potential and improve my position?
All these nuances are very important. Offers with no prospects and with a small salary should immediately be thrown back, because over time you will still want to do something else - more serious and highly paid. It is better to immediately find a promising job.
There are a lot of sources for finding good work: these are employment centers, social networks, the media, specialized websites, and recruitment agencies (although you have to pay for the latter).
How to create a resume?
Creating a resume is an important step in finding a good job. How competently it is written depends on how employers perceive you. The main rule of the summary: less water and more specifics. It’s not worth it to write something like: “I’ve been selling for 2 years,” it’s better to write: “Over the year of work in the company, sales figures increased by 20%.”
These items set you apart from the competition. A resume is obtained without water, and the employer will certainly turn his attention to your merits. When writing a resume, being modest is unacceptable. This is an expression field, employers should see all your benefits. If there is no work experience, you need to paint about your achievements, strengths of the personality.
After writing a resume, it must be carefully re-read and checked for errors. Nobody wants to hire an illiterate employee. The text should be well designed, when writing it, you need to use only one font and standard black color. Subtitles can be highlighted in bold.
The specified contact information - phone, e-mail, WhatsApp and others - must be specified correctly, and the phone must always be turned on. The resume should not talk about the presence of pets or your habits - it indicates information that directly relates to the vacancy that interests you. In the resume, it is desirable focus on those qualities that correspond to this vacancy.
How to prepare for an interview?
If your employer liked your resume - this is a big plus, because you have been noticed among competitors, which means it is written correctly. The next, rather exciting step is an interview. In order for it to go smoothly and the employer remains impressed, follow simple rules.
- Prepare an official costume: the clothes should be clean, ironed and tidy so that the employer notices your tidiness and serious approach to work. They don’t come for an interview in clothes in which they walk around the city: in sneakers, jeans and a T-shirt. However, some professions do not require a dress code - consider the specifics of the work.
- Practice in front of the mirror: the boss should see in you a person who is ready to start work with all responsibility. When talking with him, be polite, considerate, ask what you want to clarify (so you show your interest), if you are asked a questionnaire - fill it out, avoiding mistakes.
- Prepare for the interview: if you come to the office or company, but cannot correctly answer the questions of the employer, he will consider that this position is not very to your liking. This means that you should at least be aware of what this company specializes in and before the interview find out what your activities will be.
- Do not drink alcohol: You should not go for an interview if you returned late home after a party, and in the morning you experience a headache. The employer will notice your condition, and this will definitely not be a plus for you. In no case do not drink alcohol before meeting with the boss, but sedatives are not prohibited. So you can control the excitement.
List of the most affordable professions
There are many professions in which having experience is not necessary. For example, in big cities, sellers are always required - and both young people and retirees who do not want to stay at home can get a job. And also waiters, couriers, freelancers and many others are always required. Next about the professions in order.
Freelance
I wanted to point out this area first, as it is room for young professionals (and, in general, everyone who wants to earn money). Young people are especially in demand in the IT field, but in order to get a job, knowledge is needed if not work experience. Now you can find many educational lectures, so it’s easy to “grab” them.
They make money on freelance work: web designers, programmers, copywriters, editors, translators of various languages, artists, content managers and others. These professions are usually not tied to office work.
By the way, if you know any language: English or French, then you can earn good money even without education (translators are always required).
Seller
Everyone saw sellers who miss the counter. But this work can be fun if you change your mind about it. Imagine how much happiness a seller gives to a child by selling him a stuffed toy, or what happiness a married couple experiences when buying rings from a sales assistant.
The seller is perhaps the most sought-after job, which is taken without experience. And what to sell - the choice is quite large: clothes, food, children's toys, shoes, antiques and so on. You can go further - and create your own online store, only for people to buy from you, he needs some kind of zest.
Waiter
Of course, no one would like to work as a waiter (everyone dreams of sitting at a table in a restaurant, rather than serving dishes), but sometimes life develops in such a way that you have to agree to any work. This position does not require any special skills, the main thing is neatness, good looks, moral and physical stability.
Work experience is optional, and if you show yourself on the good side, you can get a more solid place where wealthy people dine, which promises a high salary and generous tip. A friendly and sensitive waiter can build a career in the restaurant business and grow into a general manager.
Courier
This work is ideal for those who do not like to look out the window while sitting in the office. Courier implies frequent movement - on foot and by transport, so you need to prepare. Clothing and shoes should be comfortable and suitable for the weather. There are advantages to working as a courier; it is strange that when choosing a position, they bypass it.
You build your own schedule, control income yourself - take more orders, which means you will get more money. To become a courier, it is not even necessary to have an interview.
You can download the application on your smartphone and register. In this application, you will receive orders, and you will be able to choose customers.
Useful Tips
In conclusion, I want to give some useful tips. Before you start your job search, you should carefully know yourself. It happens that a person has talent or some special knowledge - for example, he knows Italian, but goes to work as a seller. This is wrong, because it is better to spend your time and energy looking for a job as a translator - this way you can earn more and do what you do well.
Do not be afraid of internship vacancies - if you prove yourself, then no one will drive you out, but only with pleasure will approve the desired position. Avoid those areas of activity in which there is no possibility for growth - sooner or later you will start to think that you spent years in vain, standing in one place. Well, and most importantly - decide what you want to do, which will bring you joy.Because if you like what you do, then everyone will benefit from it.
If you have subscribed to the news of one of the job sites and you receive messages from “employers” that require you to make money in exchange for work, they are most likely scammers.
Such messages should not be taken seriously. A serious organization will never ask a potential employee to contribute money. Whatever organization you are in, always find out all the details about it.
