How on earth will I get "experience" if all the jobs that I can work require experience ?
Asked by Ismaily Rules
I try to apply for a job and all the jobs need experience. Ok how do I get it if u don't let me work in the first place ? One needs to work in order to get experience.

Best Answer:
Invent yourself. What can you do? Can you do it well enough to get paid for it? Cut, split, and stack firewood by the cord, for an example. I hereby declare you have worked for Ms. Alice Smith, for three summers at her red brick house on Dock Street, Perth, doing exactly that until she sold her house and moved back to Cornwall, England. You have from her a typed letter of appreciation for hard work, good manners, and extra hours ... (Lift up this letter to show at next interview). Understand now?
How I got a job of painting river bridge (Lifted up my letter to show at interview how Mr. Jules Dundee thanked me for painting his shed, silo, and windmill). He moved to Cornwall, [laughing].

Oh my God, i totally agree!!! I've always wondered about that too. That's when you reach for a job on the bottom of the ladder first. Lower ur standards...i know it's stupid but that's the system for you dude. Lower jobs often don't need experience, if you start looking for lower you'll find it and they'll hire ya.

I hear what your saying, I am going to graduate this June with school, so I tried applying at jobs and they always tell me I don't have enough experience. I've given up for now myself.

All professions and industries will have entry-level positions. They must, as everyone is in your position at some point. Perhaps the companies you are looking at do not currently, but keep looking around. Besides, many jobs simply require you have an aptitude or desire to do certain things, and a willingness to start at the bottom. Keep that in mind... and good luck!

See if you can get a co-op or internship. You can volunteer as well. Your experience does not have to paid time. If you are still in school, you might try and get a work study position in the department. You can also list projects and publications or an advanced degree to substitute for experience.
