How to get a job.

Here are four things that you need to do in order to land a job.

Spot on. It's wild how much professional communication and networking skills are overlooked in fundamental education today. How one sells oneself is just as important as one's skill set.

Yes. Every time someone came to where I was working with their degree, we just had to train them in everything anyway, which they could have done without the degree. Unless it's very specific, like a dentist, etc., the real-world training and certifications, like you said, are the better bet.

[@epayne6]

Of course you have to train them!! They're not Jesus! You're not hiring mind readers! New hires don't know what your specific company needs are until they are in the door.

[@ReikiontheRun]

@@epayne6 my point is you train them just the same as you would as someone without a degree.most jobs it doesn't matter, both need to learn the same thing.

Internships? Work for free for a limited? 🤔 Interesting. How exactly do I eat? Who is gonna pay my rent? My car bill? Gas? Groceries? And all of the other things that cost money? How can I afford to live if I am working for you while not getting paid? Side note: this little "system" provide you, the boss, with free labor while I get to work full time for no money and live off food stamps and Raman. Pretty 💩ty system. 🤨

Guess you will not be getting the good jobs. You work your normal grocery store job during the week, spend the weekends working for free to learn your future trade. Got to hustle in the real world.

@@rosscarmichael78 And ppl wonder why the current generation "doesn't want to work". Why they are questioning everything, including the nature of Capitalism itself. Just so we're clear. To get this job, I would have work 7 days a week, 5 for the employer who isn't f--king me around (min wage job), and weekends for the guy who is/could be. And the weekend job is no pay with the dangled carrot of future employment if, IF!!!, that boss finds you worthy. AND IF they need you in the future. AND IF there is money in the budget for a new hire. AND IF Athey like you enough to keep you. AND IF they don't string you along for years (you are free labor afterall). AND IF your free labor company is not a toxic workplace. AND IF the free pay gig pays better than the min wager. AND THE LAST BIG AND IF, you actually want work there. After working there/in that industry you might discover that you hate the place/job. All of this is to say, free labor for a job/company, no matter how well researched, may go down in flames, or it might be great. But I am too damn old to be looking for adventure. Employers need reliable good workers, I need a steady paycheck. If we can't meet on that level, then we can't meet at all.

First things first, if I didn’t have a job, I would take whatever job I could to support my family. If this job were a lower income job, I would rapidly lean new skills to increase my income. The video advocates getting a job first, and if you can’t get one get an internship, and finally work for free if required. Keep in mind, while I earn a good living today, I still would offer my time for free to learn valuable skills from someone. I see this as a great investment in myself, willing to give my time in exchange for knowledge. Next I can understand how you would think I would be profiting off someone’s internship or trading knowledge for time, but this hasn’t been my experience. It cost me more money and time to train people than I recoup in the short term. My hope is, even while it’s a negative ROI for me in the short term, I’ll identify great candidates that I want to hire in the future. Best of luck to you.

@@grantcarmichael this is my last post on this thread. If there is money/business for a new perm hire. If you like that person enough to keep them on. If your wp isn't toxic (man have I been thr). If you actually need the help. If the full pay is worth it. And the big one, if your free-laborer does not discover that he/she hates the actual work. Quick story. I am well pass the age where I can be trusted. One summer in my 20s, I interned for a veterinary office looking to one day be a vet. Worst job of my then life. Toxic ppl (workers and staff), it took all my time, had to get govt assist with 2 pt jobs (again 1 paid 1 didn't), and at the end of the day, I hated the work. Put down your first dog because the owner can't/won't pay and the boss doesn't want to do it, and you will come to hate veterinary medicine as much as I do. You need good workers, I need work. PAID work. If we can not meet on that level, then there is no discussion.

Good advice!

Glad it was helpful!

Jobs are not worth it these days. Slavery is overrated.

[@johnnystephens259]

I already have a job, but you’re handsome, so I clicked on the video anyway.
