Help! Stepping into a career without experience

[Phoenix Hoely]

How exactly did you land a job in your career without experience? I am at a time in my life where I'm just fukked up. It's been so freaking hard for me to land an entry level job. I have came close. For example, one employer ask me to come in for one position but due to my inexperience asked me would I be interested in another position. This was after being interviewed 2x for the original position, I was like yeah and was even allowed to job shadow. After not hearing from her for a couple of days, I shot her an email inquiring about the position, she then proceeds to tell me they would no longer be filling that position. Fast forward to this Wednesday, she calls me about my possible interest another position and would I be willing to commit at least a year to it. She didn't want to train someone for it to only have them quit after 3 months. Which was the length of my last job due to me having to resigned from my job to provide around the clock assistance to my father who suffered a bad hemorrhagic stroke. I explained that to her. I don't know if her comment was shade or what. I tried to convince her that I am dead serious about the position because it's a blessing to be offered a job with no experience when others are looking for you to have 2,3,4,5 years of experience. Despite all of this, she was still a bit unsure and wanted to things over with the person over her. Welp, yesterday, I saw an ad on indeed (the one where you submit a cover letter and resume through site) looking for someone to fill position she asked me about on Wed as well as the position she was no longer filling along with a bunch of other positions. I thought she was pretty cool, but you really can't trust white folks. Leading me on and shyt!! What are you guys advice!! I need help. I am damn near to the point I want to lie on my resume to get ahead. By the way, I will be graduating college next month and I'm not even excited due to my job prospects

1. Fake it till you make it.

2. Start your own low cost business because you have nothing to lose.

3. Make as many connects and get someone to hire you.

You better start embellishing and winging that shyt on the fly. I can guarantee that you won't be the only person not knowing what the hell you're doing

You're in the information age breh. You can learn how to do pretty much anything if you apply yourself, look up tutorials online and asking questions

This is what I'm doing. It's easy and hard at the same time.

Serious question, is your father doing okay now, I say that because there are programs that will pay you to take care of a loved one who cannot take care of themselves.

I'm not sure what your major is however I'm pretty sure your school has a career center. If your school has any bit of a name they may have connections to local or state companies. Try setting up an appointment.

Secondly dont companies come to your school to recruit directly? I'm pretty sure there's a career day or multiple ones. Try visiting one.

Finally hit up your Alumni connections. I used my black Alumni association, to get a job I had no business getting. Try hitting your Black Alumni Association.

About your Resume? Go to your career center because they do that sh!t for you . That's their job.

I hope your father gets better!

She was trying not to hurt your bytch ass feeling. It's not her fault you aren't qualified for the job. And you should have already had a connect for an entry level job by now. What you been doing while in college. Just a piece of paper with no connections will have you like all these other people who don't know how to sell themselves

About your Rssume? Go to your career center, they do that sh!t for you bruh. That's their job. Let them do their job.

Thanks for the response!! Companies do come to my school for a career/job fair, but the chances landing a position isn't any bigger. A lot of these companies are fast food/retail places and places that are not in my field. I live in a medium size town, so I guess the quality of companies are limited. I'll definitely try the career center. I actually talk to someone from there, but she seemed inexperienced and didn't have an answer to the question asked. I'll definitely take your advice of the alumni connections as well. My resume is legit actually. I sought help from my business communications teachers who specialized in resumes, cover letters, memos, general business writing. Again thanks breh!

No wonder why you're so pathetic. I'm sure a troll like you have no career and resort to doing dumb shyt like this to occupy your time. Go play in that dead dyke mother of yours coochie, imbecile.
