nslimmers 2 Posted February 11, 2013 Is anyone else having trouble finding a job due to lack of experience? I've been searching for jobs since recieving ead in October and have only been on two interviews. What can I do to seem more interesting to employers? 2 Love35 and Yudi85 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rawf 336 Posted February 12, 2013 Where have you been looking? A lot of my friends found jobs using craigslist and while it is risky, I'm sure you are smart enough to tell the difference from a fake and legit company. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've tried Craigslist, indeed, availablejobposting, glassdoor and snagajob. I live in Jersey, idk if its the job market here but I'm not having any luck.

roadrunner11 167 Posted February 12, 2013 The key to get interviews is having a good well organized/formatted resume. Remember to make it easy to read so people can pick it up and glance quick at it and still think you are interesting/worthy of an interview. Also, try online applications at restaurants and stores.

nslimmers 2 Posted February 12, 2013 What are you looking and what would you like to find? Do you have a resume? I have a resume but no formal work experience. I was hoping to get a job as a receptionist preferably medical receptionist. My cousin referred me on her job I filled out an application and met the hiring agent. They seemed really happy to meet me but it's been a week and still nothing. Everyone is telling me to call more but I don't want to be a nag. BTW the position is hotel front desk. I really need this job because it's part time pays well and I could really use the extra money to help out with some college expenses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rawf 336 Posted February 12, 2013 You have to insist so they know you are serious about getting the job. It isn't always the case, but sometimes you have to insist. Always check online what's the pay rate, don't accept less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've tried online applications. It's just frustrating. I have no formal experience so I'm selling my self the best I think I can right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
