How to get a job with no work experience?

How to get job without any work experience?

  • How are you supposed to get a job if you don't have any experience? They don't hire you because you have no work references but how the heck are you supposed to get references ...show more

  • Answer:

    You're in the real world now. You have to start thinking outside the box. Go volunteer anywhere like habitat for humanity or in goodwill. You can put that in your resume and on top of that you can put the volunteer coordinator as one of your references. Go volunteer at a church or go back to your old HS and see how you can volunteer. Use one of your teachers as references. Have you done babysitting? You can put that in your resume as work experience but make it sound professional. From that point you can apply to jobs and start building a real resume.

My boss loves hiring people without experience because she doesn't have to break any bad habits they may have acquired at previous employers. My experience has been that many food service establishments will hire those with little to no experience because they will work for minimum wage. If you work the same job (yes, even food service) for a measurable amount of time, other employers will be more willing to give you a chance because you have shown that you have dedication and loyalty. Unfortunately, it just takes time. There is no quick answer. Even going to college takes time.

Where are you trying to apply to? When I first began working, I started off at a locally owned restaurant. It was my first job and they didn't expect work references from me, and accepted personal references (friends, family). Over time, I met co-workers and built up references to use. That could be helpful. Another thing to keep in mind are friends that are working. If you have any friends or family working at a business that is hiring, they may be able to get you into the company by throwing in a good word for you.
