Hi

Is there a place where I can find jobs that doesn't require lots of skills and experience?
I'm 20 already and I only worked at small grocery store for like 4.5 monthes. I'm really worried because I think I should already be experienced working in real life. I don't wanna be a mama boy who needs parents to survive, if you know what I mean. So yea..I'm looking for any jobs. I applied at like different places but didn't find any luck with those. And I'm gonnna need training as well. Please help

Shredder, there's always the military. You get everything you're looking for...and more. Risky occupation today but the benefits may outweigh the risks if you're lucky.

Do you have any inclinations toward a particular field? Just asking for a general guideline puts you all over the field. You can apply to general retail jobs, or a bank for one. You can apply for internships if you want to gain experience in something you have an interest in. Or you can enroll in school to learn more about something.

Well even at a small grocery store, you can move up to some assistant manager position. Once you have that credential under your belt the world opens up a bit wider. Anytime you have management experience, that's a plus when looking for a job.

As a 20-year old how in the world can you expect to be experienced in the "real life" when you've only had a couple of years to experience it? Career wise you're still fresh out of high school and have many many more years to attain enough experience to compete against those who are vying for that same job you want but who have many many more years of experience.

This is the time to struggle and learn the trades for which you want to excel in. My 23-year old learned that too. He went to UH Manoa and worked part time at Zippy's while attaining his degree in Sociology. Now that he's graduated he's got that job with the State at DHS and is finally making decent wages, but he had to work humbly in a service trade to make a few bucks. He also had to use a computer I had built for him to do his homework on. Now that he's making good income he went out and purchased his Apple iBook and he's driving around his new car plus living in a decent apartment.

Basically he has a life now but he earned it. He's still earning it as his Nissan Sentra isn't exactly his dream car but it's better than that POS 86 Honda Accord beach car that he drove his friends around in. Now it's my POS but I put $3,000 of my own back into that $500 car and now it looks like an 86 Honda as if it were 1986...clean and sharp.

Otherwise try looking here at Careerbuilders.com (http://www.careerbuilder.com/) and finetune your search for that job.

Starbucks! They pay well & have good benefits, you learn to work with people, you learn to sell, you learn how to make coffee, your learn customer service which you need to know in every job you do. And even if you don't like working there you probably like their products, at least a mocha frappacino or an orange creme frappacino maybe.:)

OR you can try a Temp agency. They place you at different job sites, you learn about different companies. Sometimes its a foot in the door. Although work may be sporadic.

Good luck in your job hunting.
