Hey everyone - what's the single best piece of advice you can give to a newbie trucker? I've been asking around and love to hear everyone's thoughts. Thanks!

Hello again! I am looking for a retail job. I never worked at a retail job before so I never had any retail experience. I only had is food experience but I am done working with food industry and I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. Tired of burning myself with hot oil :/ and heat. Is there any retail jobs hiring in San Francisco or the Bay Area please let me know highly appreciate please and thank you..

Ok. So I'm currently working in a warehouse. Its not a terrible job but its not where I want to be for the rest of my working years. Through my high school and early college years I've been a volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America and the Society for Creative Anachronism (medieval reenactment group) as a teacher, admin assistant, event coordinator, and a couple other little things. I have a broad spectrum of experience thanks to these things. However, because none of it was at an "official" capacity I get passed over for a "more qualified candidate". I've had several interviews at this point. I make it past the initial interview, get invited back for a 2nd interview, only to be told by phone or email right before the interview that the company has gone forward with other candidates. The HR lady is left hanging looking the fool and I lose not only a day of work from my current job, but the shot I need to go forward and do better with my life. That has happened twice in a row with 2 different companies. I know I can't do anything about them. What can I do about me?

How can you get a good job with no experience?

Here are 5 Ways to Get a Job Without Experience:

1. Go in through a side door. So you don't have a full resume of prior jobs doing exactly what you want to do next. ...
2. Promote your soft skills. ...
3. Translate your experience. ...
4. Work for cheap. ...
5. Work for free. (The practice of getting work experience for little or no pay is internship/apprentice)

How to Get a Job With No Experience

Go in through a side door. So you don’t have a full resume of prior jobs doing exactly what you want to do next. That doesn’t mean you haven’t got any skills to offer.

"Some skill sets are valuable in jobs that are adjacent to others – get a job “near” the one for which you lack the right experience.”

If you’re great with social media and you want to get into fashion, see if there’s an opportunity to help with a company’s Facebook page or tweeting campaigns.

Ok, you might not be behind the runway immediately, but it could get your foot in the door. If you’re an accountant who wants to become an event planner, see if a company is willing to let you do their books for pay, in exchange for some free interning hours shadowing the event work.

Promote your soft skills. Soft skills, for those not familiar with the term, mean those abilities that are not related to specific information or knowledge. Think great phone manners versus PowerPoint acumen, or being highly organized versus fluent in French.

The thing about soft skills is that they are underestimated and can be difficult to learn. It’s a bit cliché to put on your resume “great with people” or “really friendly”. On the other hand, if you can put specifics “excellent time management – balanced an 18 hour class load with a part-time job” that really resonates, it could help you get a job without experience.

And do your research to find out which soft skills are most valued by which types of jobs, for example, the soft skills important in sales are different from those in human resources.

Translate your experience. You might not have a dead-on experience for the job you want, but you can articulate what you’ve done in such a way that it’s easy to see why the learning curve for you will be a lot less.

If you are just coming out of college, look at your activities on campus. Did you do a lot of fundraising for a cause? Tally up those numbers and translate them to sales – after all, persuasion is persuasion. If you can say “raised $10,000 during a three-day phone-a-thon” it indicates that you’ve got the people skills and persistence that could appeal to a sales team.

Work for cheap. Look, if you really want to do something in a field that you are new to, you’re going to have to earn it. If you know that the starting salary in your dream field pays $25 per hour, offer to work for $15 (and tell them you expect for salary to be revisited in six months or a year).

Or, look for a part-time position in the area that you want and agree to a reduced rate, and then work another job in your old career that helps supplement the income.

Work for free. Ok, it’s not ideal, because a job is meant to put food on the table, not be a celebrated hobby. But free is everyone’s favorite four-letter word. If your cover letter opens with “I’m looking for an opportunity to learn – and I’m available for free”, you’re likely to at least grab attention.

And again, it’s not forever. Ask for a three-month stint, to make it clear you don’t plan to be an apprentice for the long haul. Especially if you’re currently not working – you’ve got the free time, anyway, why not do something productive?

It’s not easy to get a job without experience, but it can be done. Be realistic but optimistic. Take a hard assessment of what you have to offer, or ask a colleague or career services, counselor, to help you take stock of your work history.

Let others know that you’re hungry and open to opportunities. Network – you don’t have to have experience to sip a glass of wine and smile. The more experience you get at promoting yourself, the sooner you’ll find an opportunity and get a job without experience.

I am not currently located in Phoenix, Arizona however i will be in two weeks. I don't have any professional experience. I went to a trade school, San Diego Job Corps, there I studied Culinary Arts. I was able to experience work through work base learning. I recently finished the program and i need a job to help give me a helping hand so I can start moving forward on my own and learn what its like to take care of responsibility. I would really appreciate the opportunity! Thank you.
