#Employment : Where are all these jobs that don't require experience?

[rebel11]

I'd say you've got (1) and (2), number (3) be picked up. Small steps, acorns, trees, it's all possible.

 

This has been suggested to me. I do have a lot of experience (not work; just school / college stuff) with Microsoft Office.

 

I was talking to a friend about self-employment, to which he replied: (he is being realistic here)

 

 

He then said:

 

 

A lot of my problem is my lack of experience - it seems that everywhere wants experience these days - but, apart from voluntary work, there's really nowhere to get this experience from.

Thanks. It's just now trying to think of something that I can do that everyone else isn't doing.

 

I also study part-time - is running a business and studying part-time workable?

Where abouts are you, don't mind if you don't want to give but perhaps speaking to firm on [urlhttp://www.tng.uk.com/[/url] - should have one near you - they provide confidence building etc, I have been in same predicament as you as I am disabled too and am unable to lift etc, I went to this firm they told me to tell them every thing right from start and they believed me, and will help me with interview techniques; I was forced out of my job from bullying and been out for twelve months. Hope it helps

Hello there. I know you've mentioned this before on the forum, before my enforced absence. I don't know if it would work in your case, but I always mention voluntary work because it's a good way to get relevant experience, even a few hours a week, and can sometimes lead to a job offer where you volunteer. Your local Volunteer Bureau/ local council should be able to advise.

 

My best, HB

Thanks. I live in Plymouth. As of Monday, I am doing work experience and after that, assuming I still have no job, I will look into volunteering.
