  • Hi, I'm Amy! I work at Snagajob and today we're going to talk about

  • how to find a job. Specifically, we're going to talk about, "How do I get a job

  • when I don't have experience.

  • We hear this question a lot from first-time job seekers, teenagers

  • and folks that don't think they have any job experience.

  • Do you really not have any job experience?

  • Think about it.

  • You probably have done some volunteering,

  • lawn care for the next door neighbor, babysat for somebody up the street.

  • These jobs are perfectly fine to include

  • entry-level resume, so don't discount the experience that you have from working those positions.

  • One job seeker that we met actually was fifteen and looking for her first job

  • and she used her experience baking biscuits with her family every Sunday

  • morning to apply to a biscuit-making job.

  • That's perfect! That is the kind of initiative that employers want to see in a first-time job hunter. They're looking

  • for somebody who is smart and who can apply themselves, and in this instance she already had specific

  • experience doing the job that they were looking for. Look for any skill or experience you can

  • highlight. Just because you weren't paid for it, doesn't mean it's not valuable to employers.

  • For most entry-level jobs or summer jobs, employers are really looking for

  • a great attitude, so make sure you bring that and whatever experience you already

  • have and you should be pretty well set. Thanks for listening today. Don't forget to subscribe
