The Students' Lifestyle

"I'm sorry, but you do not have enough experience for this position ." This sentence is probably the most frustrating thing to hear while job searching -especially for current college students or recent  grads looking for a job. How are we supposed to get a job if you need experience, but can't get any experience because we're too inexperienced to hire? It's a frustrating paradox many of us have and will encounter during the job search. That's why I've found a few leads on to get you that coveted experience.

Rework your résumé

You may actually have the experience you need, but may not have worded it correctly on your résumé.  Instead of saying you worked the cashier at your retail job,  elaborate to show the leadership, management, and customer service skills you exhibited during the job. If you're a little stuck on how to write it all out, take a look at the job description of your current/past position to help you with the wording.

Go for Another Position

You may not qualify for the position you want, but is there another one in the company that you can take up that will give that experience? Or another that will put the skills you possess to good use? Check the company's openings to see what other positions are available that fit closer to the skills you currently possess. If you're hired on, you can ask to receive training in that area in the future.

This time last year I was fuming because I knew I would be missing half my Thanksgiving day working behind a register. This time I'll be with my family,but I still feel bad for the workers all over spending their time serving others. I'm sending you all virtual hugs and kisses as well as this advice on how to handle one of the most hectic days of the year for retail workers.hb

It's a hard knock life for us. I'm almost 21 years old, and I still haven't found a job, except one. If only my resume can  include all the jobs I've applied for then future job employers would be really impressed at the effort I put into looking for a job. So far, I had a total of seven job interviews in two years all not equaling a job. Right now, I'm feeling alone because it seems like all my Facebook friends to random Twitter followers have a job except me. It's time for me to throw a self pity party. Here are some signs and symptoms that I have from been unemployed for a long time.

I can't help but fall in love with Iggy Azalea's music. I love her style, her blonde hair, and the fact that she's Australian is a bonus.  Her new song "Work" discusses the struggles she's been through and how she works hard to get where she is now. The song grew on me easily. See if you like the song as much as I do.
