HOW TO FIND A JOB WITHOUT EXPERIENCE
A few days ago,
I saw lot of young people standing next to a social media influencer and they
all were asking him to make a video for them to highlight their job issue. The
issue is that they are applying for jobs but everyone is asking them about
experience which they don’t have. According to them, they need a job first to
get some experience.
So,
I thought I should write something according to my experience for those who
have the same situation.
If
you have just completed your education and have no work experience, the first
thing you can do is use your mobile phone to find companies in your field and
watch your field related YouTube videos to learn something.
In
the way of getting a job whether you are experienced or inexperienced, the
first thing is communication skill.
Better
communication means high chances of finding a job. So, if you have any issue in
communication, focus on improving it first.
How
can you get a job, unless you can convince someone about your abilities?
When
you are in the search of a job, remember that the potential employer who is
offering a job will think of his own benefit and not your benefit. You have to
prove to them that if you get a chance to work, how useful you could be.
Even
though you don’t have experience but you can work on your soft skills e.g.
1 - Ability
to solve a problem (Problem Solving)
2 - Examining
anything thoroughly (Attention to Details)
3 - Wisely
use of time (Time Management)
4 - How
creative you are (Creativity)
5 - Demonstrate
flexibility at work (Flexibility)
6 - Ability
to work with others (Team Work)
7 - How
you can lead others (Leadership)
8 - Making
connections with other people (Networking)
9 - How
quickly you can learn new things (Quick Learner)
10 - Your
passion & motivation
If
you have some of the above at least you have something to show, to convince, to
get a chance.
Do
not waste your time, this is the most important thing. If you want to achieve
your goal quickly you have to react fast. You have to catch the first available
train to reach your destination. Do not look at the train type as long as it
can bring you close to your destination. And if you are waiting for an ideal
one, you may be too late and excuses will be last words.
Now
there are two situations here, one is we need a job but do not have any
opportunity on the other hand the employer has many applicants to select
from.
It
is said that the thirsty goes to the well, well not come to the thirsty.
Similar situation is here. Who is in need, has to react, so you are the one to
move.
According
to your academic or technical education or as per your interest. Look around
for the opportunities, it may be a shop, workshop, factory, office etc.
Go
to them and tell them about your educational background and express a desire to
work. If they are willing to give you some salary, it is better if they are not
willing or say that we do not have a job. Negotiate with them as much as they
can pay if not the case, offer your services for free to them. I Hope no one
will refuse free services. If it still refuses, look for a second, third or
fourth place, but I am sure that you will not have to go to the third or fourth
place.
Wherever
there is an opportunity, whether someone gives you a salary or not, just start
working with all your honesty and start learning from the people who are
already there. You may have some difficulties in the beginning but you can
change anyone's attitude with your good behavior, honesty and hard work.
No
matter what your education is, no matter how qualified you are, don't feel
ashamed to work with your hands and encourage yourself to get your hands dirty.
I
have seen a civil engineer in the UAE sleeping on a concrete slab at night
while working on a project. Believe me, his attitude towards labor, mason and
office boys was very kind. He grabbed the opportunity and not looked back, he
worked hard, learnt through his mistakes.
After
working about a year for the salary of three thousand dirhams, he switched to
another company which offered him a salary of ten thousand dirhams.
Did
you know? Mistakes are good because at the end of the year these are called
your experience.
A
boy in Pakistan, after completing his technical education from Government
College of Technology Rasool (Pakistan), went to a company in Islamabad
(Pakistan) in search of a job and showed his desire in a company to work for
them but they refused, then he offered his free service and they agreed. He
started working with them.
About
twenty-five days later there were Eid holidays, when he was about to return
home for Eid holidays, his manager paid him twenty-five days' salary (he cannot
believe this, as it came as a surprise for him) because of his good behavior
and hard work.
I
have many more examples in my career to mention but the point is that you take
the first step and leave your home, your comfort zone and see the world &
results. Allah Almighty will create resources for you.
But
if you are not moving from your desk and just keep applying online, waiting for
an opportunity to come in your way, crying for your luck and when someone asks
why you don't do something, you say I did a lot. I submitted a lot of
applications but no success, there are not many jobs, it’s hard to get a job
without recommendation.
I
hope this writing will change someone’s mind software and will help to find a
success instead of excuses.
But at the end it's the action which will bring the change in your life and in my opinion the best tool to start is your mobile phone, use this device to change your life.
