Lesson Overview

14.06 – Getting a Job When You Have No Experience: Landing your first job without experience can feel impossible, but every worker starts somewhere. Employers look for reliability, attitude, and effort more than long résumés. Volunteer work, school clubs, or helping family businesses count as real skills. Showing up on time, learning quickly, and treating others respectfully prove your value fast. Practice introducing yourself confidently and asking questions that show interest. Simple things like neat applications and follow-up messages make you stand out. Don’t fear rejection—it’s part of the learning curve. Each interview sharpens your confidence. Building small experiences now opens larger doors later. Remember, no one expects you to know everything; they expect you to try. With patience and consistency, your first opportunity becomes the foundation of future success. Every job, big or small, teaches lessons that prepare you for the next.
