I have very limited job experience. I%26#039;m only 21, and on my own now, and I can%26#039;t make it with my current job which only pays $7.25/hour. I%26#039;ve applied for several entry level positions, but am suprised at the ammount of experience required for %26quot;entry-level%26quot;. I%26#039;m fluent in Word, Excel, and Power Point, and can type 65+ wpm, but that doesn%26#039;t even seem to matter. Any advice?|||21, on your own and can%26#039;t make it...
It seems like your basic skills are OK. You probably need to stick with this job a bit longer (at least a year) to start getting experience. It may also be that you need more education (college, if you don%26#039;t already have it).
You may also need to adjust your expenses to be in-line with your income. The first few years on your own can be really tough, but cutting out most non-essential expenses, working hard (at this job and getting more education or a second job) can get you through it.
I would also try to network and pick up temp jobs before quitting what you have.|||What is your educational level? Does the university/college you went to offer job placement services?|||i dunno but if you get a good, realistic response plz email me the answer.|||www.craigslist.org
Join some temp agencies, they usually start you at $10-$12 an hour, but you%26#039;d be giving up benefits if you have them now. It%26#039;s really hard to advise you because we don%26#039;t know where you live. Maybe you need to be in a bigger town. Good luck!|||Secretary jobs at big corperations, just keep sending aplacatioins to who ever and whatever jobs u can find,|||if you keep your options open i can show you how to become very successfull just contact me.|||I would start with a temp agency and while you are working for them, apply for a grant and attend college and get your degree.|||If you can lift a lot, how about UPS? They pay more than $7.25 and have benefits. It%26#039;s a tough world out there, I wish you the best.
