Finding a job for 19 yo college student
Umm hi, this is my first time posting here, but the community seems pretty cool. Anyways, I didn't get my first job until 18 as a work study until the end of my first two semesters. Landed my second job at Walmart where I worked for only two months before I lost it due to an ankle injury. I've been out of work for about two weeks now; I know it could be worse but I was just wondering if not having much experience working will affect further opportunities and any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

You've got plenty of experience for your age. Just get out there and apply for everything you can. The more applications you submit, the better your chances.

Don't worry about having much experience yet. Employers will see you just graduated from high school and won't expect you to have that experience. That being said start looking at doing volunteer work in your field of study you are interested in as that can also substitute for paid experience.
