How to get a job with NO EXPERIENCE.

[@s3npai420]

At this point I'm convinced that you have to come out of the womb with work experience

[@beachlife4993]

YES 👏😂😂

[@Jades-qh2pr]

On god, i really look at the demanded experiance for jobs and think "If thats what they ask for an entry level job, i dont wanna know about the more advanced options"

[@oreo-sr2pq]

STOP this such a funny but accurate statement. They be expecting us to be working already in there, jeez

[@evaar440]

dude kill me .. I feel like the system favors those who had the luxury of a perfect career development path. I have been getting perfect grades since mid school, been to science and tech fairs, won competitions, done many projects, done internships, but when I try to look for any entry-level job or research, there is no opportunity for anything!

[@Esho2023]

This is so funny 😂😂😂

[@elainareed2489]

I just apply anyway. Worst thing they can do is not respond 🤷

[@snlvl]

You are doing well! My current empolyer asked for someone with 3 years experience. I barely had 6 months, but they saw on me a good candidate so they hired me!

[@1dog915]

[@workinonit7508]

[@blancaa.gonzalezdelapena6353]

[@nikhilkhairnar6818]

[@boobah2622]

I was told by a recruiter to apply to even those jobs. If you can do 75% of what is being asked in day to day operations section, then apply. They can hire on your willingness to learn. Women especially need to practice this cause we tend to not want to apply unless we met 90% of the criteria.

[@MoonLaden]

Yes! I’ve noticed how much I doubt myself, it maybe because I’m a woman, or a just a self doubting person, but I don’t even believe in what I want to say is my true worth. I want to practice on this so when I’m an adult I don’t suffer from it. The best way I have found right now is to stop thinking and to push through! Not sure? Do it anyway!

[@Kas_Styles]

This

[@catpaws2452]

Yes! I think I'm kind of a rare case but I think it's what helped me. I had a really bad first interview, nervous, going on tangents, but when it came time for the follow up email I acknowledged my lack of experience but I had a strong willingness to learn. I moved on to the second round, did not get it which is very lucky! I would have been CRUSHED in that role. But they ended up emailing me back with another role that just opened. Definitely a much better fit for my skill set. Definitely explain you're willing to learn!

[@BankruptMonkey]

They've done surveys it's not a lack of self worth it's just confusion that most women think "job requirements" are actually all required; when really they are just a menu you need to have conquered just a few entries on

[@Mocha_x_svt]

And (white)men apply when they meet 50%

[@losttimewoods]

The jobs listed under the filters for no experience still request 3-5+ years experience 9/10 times. I swear the people writing these listings do it on purpose and I don't get it.

[@ythelldoineedahandle]

They only want to pay a beginner’s salary for a senior position.

[@beachlife4993]

Right 😂

[@gastonangelini8352]

Nope , they want you to even with that requeriments show them that you have the skills and actually care... Apply to any job that you are sure can make , and dont bother about years of experience. If you can make thibgs done , then you are worth hiring

[@islandpersuasion4690]

[@jordanmcgrory2171]

I'm convinced that the reason companies list entry level or basic jobs as "5+ years experience" is to stiff candidates in salary negotiations. Along the lines of saying "I'm sorry you don't meet the requirements we can only offer the minimum of the range".

[@jdane2277]

You got it. "Well, you have skills but only 1 year experience so we can only offer you...." Bah

[@italyc9132]

EXACTLY. Even with some experience they say it’s “too steep”. Then why list that high of a salary if you know good and well it’s too steep as a company to pay for someone’s salary 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@coffeeperson1461]

I don't think these are actually junior or entry level. One hirer told me that people don't apply when they ask for senior or experienced so they write entry level. Then they say "Why are no experts applying?". They could stop lying and wasting applicants time

[@lissarojas2101]

Yes! This happened to me the other day.I applied to an entry level position and they tried to negotiate price due to my lack of experience.

[@tambam6744]

Who says you’re gonna last a year? Capitalist say the egregious and inhumane shit ever.

[@sanjisimp3458]

I'm not sure if it does through google like she showed, but when I'm searching on LinkedIn I always use the filter for when the job was posted, so that it's a very narrow scope first - newest first only, like posted withing the last week, then 2 weeks, then month ect ect. That way you can see what is actually active.

[@nachoijp]

Two more options: -Don't pay attention to the experience requirement and apply anyway (most places don't really care about it) -Lie. Come up with some "freelance" experience, you can ask some friend to lie for you and say they were ypur previous employer. Companies/recruiters that ask for stupid shit, don't deserve the respect of being listened or of telling them the truth. You do you.

[@adisoneulalie7070]

And remember in the USA, there is no reason not to lie. Every lawyer,banker, advertiser,, most everyone one else. Just don't do it under oath, unless you worked for trump. Forgetting things when drunk is ok.

[@NaturallyCreativeme]

I would love it if you could make a video about getting a job with no references. My cousin is just starting out after graduating last year and still can’t get any call backs. Also sometimes adults who left a toxic relationship have no references because everyone they knew would repeat the lies their ex tells just to hurt them and be in good with that ex. Myself and some of my family have been through this exact scenario

[@vvonderweiss]

Is it possible for your cousin to start freelancing? Vivian has a post where she lists site for remote work and freelance. If you need references, sometimes just completing a few tasks for another is enough to put on a resume if that person can be a reference. Volunteer work also can help provide references. To be honest, it's hard to get callbacks unless a place has a high turn over or is an agency. Agencies aren't my fave but they WILL make sure you are employed within a month or less. Even if it's not a desirable job, 6 months of training and diligence can help boost a resume and create networks to find news jobs without an agency.

[@NaturallyCreativeme]

Thank you. I’ll mention it to her. Unfortunately anything that doesn’t pay isn’t an option for her because of bills and student loans. Sadly we both chose a career path that is hard to find jobs in or even adjacent to our field.

[@Ddeath.Eaterr]

Then you apply to “No experience. We will train” jobs and they still don’t hire you 😂
