My first job?

Question

Hi,I'm going to be 19 this month and I've never had a job, and I'm worried that when I go and apply for one I'm going to be turned down because I dont have any experience in anything,what should I do?

Answer 1

First off, be honest. Second, look at the training you have from school and other places. You will be surprised what you can use as experience for entry level positions. Also, set some goals. If you are going to be going to school, make sure your job can work around your school schedule. If you are not, then set goals for what you want to be and then apply. Don't let people jade you against places. Some of the best training grounds in the world for Business and Information Systems Executives have come from working as waiters/waitresses or at the local Wal-Mart Store.

Recommendation: Set your goals and go from there.

Good luck

If you have an idea as to the type of job you'll want, you could do an internship in that field. It may not pay anything, but you'll gain the experience that future employers will look for.
