Does anyone have any experience with online college?

As a 30 year old college educated man, why doesnt anyone hire people without experience?

  • It seems that there must be a large ton of already experienced people out there that were born with experience or all the good jobs are being taken by the sons/daughters of those already in power at companies. It just seems that people ought to be hired off there interview skills and what their drive and motivation can bring. Almost anything in this world can be learned with on the job experience and instruction.

  • Answer:

    Apprentice yourself for free or cheap before graduating. Either way there is your experience. Or hire yourself out to Agencies. Depending on your field alot of company hire trainees.

I have never understood that. People dont want to have a burden of hiring someone who may not know what they are doing

Start building up your experience. Try to get a job part time or a temp to perm basis. Even that 1 year experience should do it. You might want to hone up your interview skills. If you are interviewing and not getting jobs, it could be the way you are presenting yourself. If you go on monster or careerbuilder, they give tips on questions to ask, how to dress.

You may want to get a lower level HR job to get the necessary required work experience and then try moving on to a higher position in HR. HR has many levels you can either specialize as a HR generalist or in benefits, compensations, insurance, hiring and recruiting. As for an upper management position, most require masters, so you may want to look at updating your management credentials.

You may consider volunteer work and add it to your experience. Also start a micro-business, that is very good experience.

You're 30 and you have NO work experience? They WILL hire you for customer service job. Then, you can work your way up and over (by good work ethic, good performance and continued professional development) to other things that interest you. You should know by now that that is how it works.

No, not true. The question is what did you do to distinguish yourself during your education and internships? A mediocre student/graduate will have trouble getting hired. Try an internship to get the experience you need. And give it 110% because that is the only way. If you have no experience before 30, employers may be leery that you lived off your parents all this time. I would want to know before hiring you how you got to be 30 with no job experience. Mystery.

It is difficult to make career changes to external companies. Your best bet is to work for a company and then apply for an internal change. Your current employer is more likely to take a chance on you in a different role than a different employer. Once you have gained experience under your current employer in a certain function, other companies would be more likely to hire you in that capacity.

If you needed someone to do something for you that was very important, would you choose someone with experience or someone without.
