What kind of job could I get with no work experience whatsoever at age 18?

I am 18. I technically have had a legal job in a place considered retail for 4 months. What kind of job could I apply for with such little work experience?


you could try for another retail job. If you had been working in a retail job for 4 months, you could put that on your resume as Work Experience (instead of Employment History).

Places like fast food stores - McDonalds etc - will employ people with out expereince as they train.

Or you could - depending on where you live - get a traineeship. They dont require experience and at the end you get a certificate/qualification.

You could try entry level waitressing, or junior positions in any field - such as retail, admin/office etc - they dont usually require any previous expereince. They train on the job!

You CAN put a job on your resume ecven if the employer wont give you a reference. new employers can't legally contact any previous employers with out your permission.

Another retail place. Or food.

You've got better credentials than me. I had a Maccas job at 15 but quit that after 6months and they wouldn't give me a reference so I couldn't use them on my resume. I got a job with no experience at all (except for teh week long work exp we had to do in school) in Kmart.

Try this site for now while you search.

It won't make you rich, but it always puts a smile on my face when I receive a cheque through the door.

try getting a night job. A lot of time those jobs are more available and most people who are experienced working dont want those hours.

google -- jobs at night -- you should find something
