The main inconvenient that many young people find when
looking for their first job is the lack of working
experience.
They usually have to deal with the requirement: �with
experience�. This fact usually sets them down and leaves
them out of the market without been able of doing anything
to stop it.
We know that the �first job�. is tough because in reality,
what it�s expected from them is also denied: experience.
For helping this to become a dead end, we have to take into
consideration that there are offer that allow us to be part
of the working market without requiring a previous
experience. For example:
|
|
|
|
Practices: a very good insertion possibility to get the
first job is through the practice modalities. Many times, it
might be the entrance door to positions, in a future, of
more responsibilities or related with the career that you
are following. Generally, the
Colleges Employment Markets
have alliances with companies to offer practices to their
students.

Young Professional Programs: It is intended for college
students who are in their last years or have recently
graduated (no more than two years). There programs are
developed by First Class Companies. They do not require
previous experience, but they are looking for candidates
with great development potential and a profile who fits the
company�s politics and culture. The
first interviews of
these programs are usually in groups.
advertisement and market research companies hire young
people to do questionnaires and promotions of products and /
or services. Generally, they involve
temporary jobs, of very
few days, and in which the main requirement is having good
presence.

Telemarketing: In many cases it does not need any previous
experience. There, other factors such as your verbal
abilities are proven, also, your fluidity and diction. In
most companies the staff is trained in this task. Also in
this case, the working day is from an average of 4 to 6
hours. |
|
The fast food companies, for example, hire young people with
or without experience for working days of 4 to 6 hours,
which can be adapted to the person�s time schedule. The most
common offered positions are: cashiers and client attention.
big supermarket companies select
people without working
experience for positions such as cadets, replacing groceries
or as gastronomic helpers.
In every case, those can be called �transition jobs�., which
allow the person to become part of companies with growth and
professional development possibilities.
For these, it is important to consider that training is a
point that is usually taken into consideration because it
adds a value and sets a difference with the rest of the
market.
Useful advice:
Preparing a good curriculum vitae:
Which is clear and
concise, with the necessary information but without been
tedious for reading. The amount of pages does not make more
valuable.
Contact net: Communicate all the people you know, family
members, teachers, etc., that you are looking for a
job. The
opportunity might be even closer than you thought it was.
Classified ads: Pay attention and follow the ads that are
been published not only in newspapers but also in websites,
magazines, billboards, etc.
job markets: There are many places in which this services
works: colleges, foundations, churches, municipalities and
schools, among others.
Other option: Deliver spontaneously your curriculum and
presentation letter in companies, in which your
working
objective is summed up (the area, sector and position you
would like to be at).
I hope these advices are useful for you and help you in your
search and to get your first job.
good luck and success!
