I am 22 years old. I have absolutely no working experience in administration. What kind of jobs should I look for? I read the classified but most of the company are looking for people with experience. What should I do now? I am keen to learn too. I had worked a few retail in boutiques. What are the jobs that are associated with sales too. I did not learn marketing... Please help...

There is good advice already given to you. I just wanted to say that I have been there too and yes it is hard. I always would send out a ton of "cold" Cover Letters and Resumes to a variety of places and I would receive calls for interviews and I actually did get a job out of one. If you are not shy, market yourself - dress business and go to different businesses armed with Resumes and try to get in to talk to the manager, human resources, owner etc., or even try calling to speak and see if you can set up a time for a meeting. You can get tips on the net for job hunting. Good Luck!

Sits. Vac. is a good start. try the website
www.officeangels.co.uk Lots of office jobs. Vacancies for Trainees and help in finding suitable employment for the less experienced.
My daughter, like you, was very nervous at going into an office with little experience. Office Angels were so helpful. They even took her to a couple of offices just to see the kond of work undertaken there.
TOP JOB. Give it a go.

It's hard. I have a BA and am working as a receptionist. You should try a temp agency in the meantime. They will test you out at different jobs, and once there is a nice match, you'll be hired.

Look for ads under office support. After you have some experience, you can apply for better jobs.
