No job experience but I have been involved!
Having no work experience can be an issue when trying to apply for a job position. Most job places require their new employees to have some years of experience in the field.
However, not everyone does. Here’s the great thing about experience though.
Have you ever worked in a group project that put you in a position to take the leadership role?
Have you ever babysat a child or pet?
Have you volunteered in any school or community events around your area?
Assist anyone in a particular subject?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have some form of experience. Just because you haven't had a job doesn't mean you don't have any experience. May not be much but it is something!
No experience makes it hard to get a job. So where does one go and obtain this ‘experience’?
Skill / Life experience
Problems and stress in your personal life gives you some of the resilience and emotional experience needed in your future career.
Help you to understand what your weakness and strengths.
Some strengths and Weaknesses you might learn from yourself are:
Strengths:
Strong communication skills
Teamwork
Problem solving
Creative
Multitasker, etc.
Weakness
Impatience
Not talkative
Lack of confidence
Rude
Procrastinator, Etc.
Other forms of getting any type of experience is through Volunteer work. It doesn't have to be a huge event. It can be something as small as reading to children at a library or school
or something more meaningful like helping the homeless
and can drives or toy drives.
In Los Angeles there are many Volunteering opportunities. If you don't know where to start looking, check this site where many are available.
