What jobs can I apply for if I have no experience because nobody will hire me? At this point even fast food has denied me an opportunity. Most of my friends my age have their jobs since they were referred/have connections. Why do people need connections to work at fast food now? I desperately need money just like anyone else in this economy. I’m thinking of going to a job seeker since applying on my own clearly isn’t going well.

It's the same with retail- people are weird and want their workplace to be their little clique :/

As a travel agent, we don’t require experience because we train you.

I rarely get interviews even though they list that experience is not required. Keeping my hopes up though even though it’s tiring to apply all day and get denied for the majority.

Have you thought of becoming a travel advisor?

Every travel advisor position I have seen requires you to have experience. I have over 10 years' experience supporting vulnerable adults with complex needs and behavours that challenge. I am trying to transition into a remote customer service role - pretty much anything, including travel advisor roles. I have been applying for over 18 months for various departments and I have had ONE interview. I have good grades, some previous experience in customer service and I am very clearly capable of remaining calm and de-escalating difficult situations,
I truly believe that employers will only hire people that require the least amount of time and money to train.

Maybe just try this once and see if it helps. Try to apply to your local Walmart as a personal shopper or assistant in-house. It's a few hours and it's a start. About $13 or $14 per is much better then nothing for now. It's not to be permanent incase you like it. It will at least help until you find something you dire more. Good luck 🫂

Just don’t give up

No experience required.

Visa friends! Had an interview in London, got the verbal, and am doing the visa dance. Started the process 2 weeks ago with HR and now they've ghosted me since then, though they said I have stuff to fill out ASAP. Normal? And am I too American pushy if I reach out to the hiring manager (and my future team) for an update instead?

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?
