Jobs With No Experience

[loulou111]

Most jobs seem to want people with lots of experience. I have done factory work in the past . It seems that its all agency work now with no real prospect of permanent work. What i'm after is some suggestions of work i could do with no experience, to get a little bit of income coming in. I am looking at night school courses to get some skills, but would like a little part time job to tide me over. Any suggestions please?

If you did something like volunteering in a charity shop for a couple of months you'd then have shop work and till work experience, or is there anything you could do to work for yourself?

I am mags and i do devote my time to her i would just like a few hours a week while she is at school, she is ten years old almost 11. I would like to set an example and show her that working hard is a commendable thing to do, and to be a positive role model . I like the charity shop idea

Would the apprentice scheme help you?

[loulou111]

I though apprenticeships are for school leavers i am 35. An answer has gone from here what happened?.

Ha - if i was to get it wrong I may as well get it wrong in style !

[loulou111]

Get what wrong Quoi?

have you checked if there are any jobs at the school?

[Barmaid]

Could you try supermarkets or food outlets?

[loulou111]

yes, Sara there was a part time admin job, however i have no office experience and they required that. I have also put my name down as a lunchtime supervisor . They have a waiting list can you believe that?.

[loulou111]

I do have a co-op supermarket just down the road from me . i will try in there. Thanks Barmaid.

[sara3]

lol.. I guess it's convenient!

did you ask about the admin job? employers can be impressed with someone with a "can do" attitude.

I also think it's important to be such a role model.

[loulou111]

I suppose i have been put off by the fact if they ask for experience, then i dont apply.. No harm in asking is there?.

Care work with the elderly is quite easy to get into without experience.

[loulou111]

Wouldn't that be lots of shift work Ratte?r. Not to sound ungrateful but i dont know if i could do that.

[RATTER15]

Very often you can be flexible with shifts and hours, I done it, I loved the work, im now working learning dis. but I really miss my work with the elderly, especially the dementia.

[loulou111]

Lots of ideas to think about on here. Thanks everyone what a helpful site this is.
