How to Get a Job Without Experience
1. Tailor Your Resume For that Job Role
This isn’t the first time some of you might have heard you should always tailor your resume/cv for every job and oftentimes, you are wondering – is it really necessary?
We are often tempted to skip because it takes time. But trust me, it will make a huge difference in the numbers of companies that will call you back and invite you for interviews.
Your CV speaks volume about you and it is more than just your first point of contact with the hiring manager.
You have no experience then think about the volunteering projects you’ve done or internships etc.
Ask yourself what seem more important in this “job description” is it Leadership? Teamwork? Communication skill? Problem-solving? Once you figure out what’s important, now tailor your resume and highlight what they’re looking for in all of your past experience on your resume.
2. Network With People That Matter in Your Industry
There is this saying “Who you know is more important than what you know” because knowledge can be gained, but is useless if no one supports you.
This is how you will meet the people that matter in your industry and you can do that by volunteering, attending industry events that professionals in your chosen field and by joining industry groups on Linkedin, Whatsapp and Telegram.
Ensure you are a highly engaged member and you always conduct yourself in a visible manner.
You can connect with your former classmates and friends who already found jobs and they can tell you when the company they work for is recruiting.
A referral is one of the powerful ways to get into a company. You will be trusted more and you won’t seem like a risk.
