How to find a good job without experience

How to find a good job without experience

It can be tough finding your first job if you don’t have any experience. However, you can make this process easier by following a few simple steps.

1. Identify your main assets and interests

The first step is to assess yourself from a professional angle. Ask yourself:

  • What are my professional qualities? What are my faults?
  • What tasks do I enjoy?
  • Do I like working alone or in a team?
  • In which field would I like to work?

Ask yourself all the questions necessary to highlight the elements that will inform your job search.

2. Network

If you don’t have experience, you probably don’t have many contacts. Networking is a great way to get to know people who work in a field or business that interests you.

You can increase your contacts in many ways, including an internship, a volunteer event, an office party, a happy hour, etc. These opportunities to gain contacts will be beneficial for your future career and could even lead to your next job!

3. Draft a unique and impactful CV

Even with little experience, you can say something interesting about yourself. A CV is essential when it comes to finding a job. Make sure it lists all the relevant information about your professional or personal background, including:

  • Your skills
  • Your interests
  • Training courses you attended
  • School projects you participated in
  • Etc.

Don’t forget to write a cover letter to accompany your CV. In this letter, let your future employer know that you want to learn and are ready to take up a challenge. A convincing and original cover letter could land you your first job.

4. Consider another field

You may not find your ideal job immediately. In this case, you may want to consider another field that doesn’t require previous work experience.

In Canada, natural resources, agriculture and agriculture-related production, and sales and services are sectors that don’t require work experience. Therefore, finding a job in these fields should be easier.
