22 ve hiç işim olmadı
Hiii. Başlığın dediği gibi 22 yaşında bir kadınım ve hayatımda hiç bir iş olmadı.
Tüm hayatım boyunca ailem tarafından halledildi ve bir iş bulmam için çok fazla baskı olmadı, bu yüzden sadece yapmadım… ama şimdi gerçekten bir tane istiyorum, çünkü onlara çok güvenmekten nefret ediyorum ve daha fazla bağımsızlık kazanmak istiyorum.
BC hiçbir iÅŸ hiçbir iÅŸ deneyimi anlamına gelmese de, etkileyici bir özgeçmiÅŸ anlamına gelmese de baÅŸvurmak gerçekten gerginim. Ve eÄŸer bir iÅŸ görüşmesi için deneyim eksikliÄŸimi göz ardı ederse, ya daha önce hiç çalışmadığım gerçeÄŸini ortaya çıkarırlarsa? Ne diyorum? Ben de okulda deÄŸildim, tüm bu zamanlar boyunca bir ev hanımı olmuÅŸtum… ‘Çalıştığım’ en çok deneyim, ailem ve aile arkadaÅŸlarım için her zaman bebek bakıcılığı yapmaktı.
Sadece yönsüz bir hayat yaÅŸamaktan bıktım ve temelde hayatı boyunca hiçbir ÅŸey yapmayan biri olarak iÅŸ dünyasında nasıl gezinileceÄŸine dair bazı tavsiyeler istiyorum. Bana bu kadar uzun süre çalışmadığımı sorarlarsa iÅŸ görüşmelerinde nasıl cevap vermeliyim ?? Asla bir iÅŸim olmamasından gerçekten utanıyorum ve bu BC’yi nasıl döndüreceÄŸime dair hiçbir fikrim yok, soracaklarını varsayarak

i’m in the same position but i’m 21 😠i’m in college though so hopefully that works out for me lol
Start with entry level roles, retail, customer service, receptionist, daycare, even pet care, anything that values soft skills like reliability, friendliness, and being a fast learner. Everyone has to start somewhere, and employers know that. What matters most is your attitude. Show them you’re eager and ready to learn.
Try low entry retail jobs. They are in abundance and you can find them easy in local city groups like Facebook and such. Getting a job should boost your confidence.
In my experience, I wasn’t asked about why I started working relatively late. But if you are asked that, I would answer in a manner “I have a family relative who I was taking active care of for several years; they have a severe condition, which requires to have a helping person around at all times”. After that I don’t think they’ll pry.
if you will have to take a test to assess your thinking and personality, obviously answer in the best light. When talking with an employer be positive and talkative.
when you are concerned or stressed I suggest you close your eyes, imagine a scenario when you felt the same (presenting to class, or think of your upcoming interview) and do several things simultaneously: 1) move your closed eyes from side to side in a straight line and 2) maintain deep and steady breathing. After doing it for 10 mins you will feel refreshed and calm.
I got this tip from a friend of mine. I feel it works by occupying yourself with something else to think about (doing all the steps together).
Though after the first job experience or meanwhile I’d suggest studying, if you don’t have any practical skill yet.
You’re not losing anything by applying. So just apply for any job. Also consider what career you want in the long run so you can have true independence
Just tell them what you told us. Yes, you’ve never had a job, but you want independence, and the pride of working.
I have the utmost respect for anyone that doesn’t have to work, but chooses to.
Walk into any local temp agency and you’ll have your first job in a week. Then as soon as you get that first job leverage it to find another better one.
Then do babysitting? People do hire nannies. Or work at other minimum wage jobs.
If you’ve taking care of them you have loads of experience
It’s okay that you don’t have specific job experience outside the home. As a baby sitter and homemaker, you have had to complete tasks that are transferrable to the working world.
Recreational – planning, organizing, managing, time management
Cooking – project management, organizing, balancing, serving
Caretaking – project management, time management, organization, serving, caring, entertaining
These are ways to think about the roles you played. What does it take to babysit and homemaking? Think of your successes and your struggles. Those are examples that will come up in an interview.
If you balanced school and activities in high school, you will want to transfer that as well
When you start working, you will need to learn how to manage money and figure out your new path. This can become part of your future goals, if that question is asked.
What are your interests for work? Is school an option for you? How do you want your future life to look?
1) as long as you’re willing to work, learn, start from the bottom, you can find a job
2) now it’s about where you want to start. The quickest place to get a job, or someplace where you can start down a path you want towards a certain type of job that is better long-term (you’re happier, pays more, more stable, etc)
I’m 24 and I keep getting let go from jobs
Go join a union and be an apprentice!
Employers are trying to answer FIVE KEY questions when interviewing:
* **Will you show up (reliable attendance)?**
* **Will you get along (good social skills)?**
* **Are you trainable?**
* **Will you lie?**
* **Will you steal?**
A huge portion of the employee trouble and terminations are related to these FUNDAMENTAL issues. If you can convince them of these five things in your interview… hiring managers for entry level jobs may give you a chance.
Your first job will likely be lousy (poor pay, unsatisfying work, perhaps lousy environment.). However, demonstrating the listed characteristics in your first job will begin to build your resume for a better job.
Well, the first advice I’d give you is to work on having a career instead of getting a job. Typically, jobs are unfulfilling at best. When you say you want a job, that’s like me going to a hardware store and saying, I want a tool. So, don’t rush into the job market in reaction to some drama between your mom and dad, or whatever the case may be. You’re just going to be easy prey for lousy bosses that want to take advantage of every human being they possibly can in a desperate effort to keep their failing business afloat. Start considering your passions and furthering your education in them. During this time, you can establish a social network of like-minded peers and mentors. Look for career fairs or take leads from colleagues about places that might offer employment. These are reasonable solutions that will help to ensure you land somewhere where I don’t have to read about you on Reddit saying how much your boss sucks and how crappy your life has become. See? We both win, if you put a bit more thought into this.
Go to school, and get a diploma that includes an internship at the end.
You gotta start at some point. Everybody starts as unexperienced, but there is always a job for everyone. The later you start the shittiest job you get. No company will take it as advantage you spend your years unemployed. Charisma is your friend.
As someone who’s been in a similar situation, the only thing stopping you is you/your nervousness. Apply to retail jobs, they hire immigrants without a work history so they’ll definitely hire you.
You’re worrying about things in the wrong order and trying to solve all your problems at once. Focus on applying to jobs first -> then focus on answering the phone when the company calls -> then worry about what to say in an interview.
If you’re really worried just say you were taking care of family and the babysitting is a good alibi. 22 is still young and plenty of people start their first jobs then too, don’t overthink it.
wish job corps were still availble for ya but if youre ever interested…the military is also available. There are several jobs that are not combat related. Troops need admin, finance, supply chain, and even maintenance.
For those who are gonna flame about fighting for a country nonsense, go and kick rocks. The military is just another avenue to gain job training and experience.
If you’re in the United States, join the local National Guard. Depending on your ASVAP score, you can train in a field that’s civilian marketable. And by joining the Guard, you can still work on a civilian career. Dang, I sound like a recruiter but I’m not.
Also worth noting that if you enroll in community college you can knock out some basic classes like math, english etc. and also the college WILL employ you. You can check out customers in the cafeteria, work at a reception desk, things like that. Kind of two birds with one stone. I’m 29 and am just kind of getting on the college train now. If I had done the essential classes earlier on, it’d make this stage of my life so much easier. Something to think about anyways.
You have such an advantage at this time in your life, you really should take advantage of this. Little to no responsibilities is such a perk. You can work a few hours a week (maybe like 16-20) build up some experience and take a class or two a semester to knock out pre requisites until you decide what you may want to do.
I think you are showing maturity that a lot of people in your position might not have. As far as interview questions go, just be honest. You never needed a job but you understand the importance of building that experience. You want to work towards being an independent person. At the end of the day, a lot of entry level employers just want someone who will show up on time and perform simple tasks with little to no fault. I wouldn’t stress so much on the never having a job part of it, you are still very young and it’s not that crazy that you have never had a job.
There’ll be a point in the interview when it’s wrapping up where they will ask if you have any questions. Definitely ask questions about day to day tasks, what you can do to be successful, how you can get promotions etc. There’s YouTube videos where they outline questions to ask an interviewer. I think if you can dress well, present your maturity for your case (without outright saying I am very mature for my age) and ask questions in the interview you already have your head above water. A lot of people at your age may have already had jobs, but it doesn’t mean they’re ideal or professional. You seem like you have a good head on your shoulders. You can do this. If I’ve learned anything in my short span of life, it’s that you just have to take a leap of faith every now and again.
your parents must be supportive if they’ve taken care of you all this time. maybe tell them you’re interested in going to community college, see if they’ll pay for it. even if not, community college is affordable (sometimes free!) and a great way to get started on a career.
you seem like you like caring for people, so maybe ask your community college about nursing, radiology tech, dental hygienist or early childhood education programs. you can just call them up and ask to meet with a counselor.
once you have that settled, you can find a part time job to get those work skills built up. don’t sell yourself short, you do have experience in babysitting. that’s a fine base. look at daycares, nannying, camps, after school programs, YMCA, etc for a part time job that will take you through college.
You’re fine. When I worked retail, judging by some of my coworkers it seemed like they would hire anyone with a pulse.
Also, babysitting is experience. Just play it up on your resume. When you get an interview, be cheery and come off as eager to learn. Hiring managers for entry level jobs mostly pick candidates based off vibes.
Join the military, you’ll definitely gain some direction in life
