Getting a good job has never been easier, with the sudden rise of job sites and access to offers in the comfort of your own home, wether your a fresh graduate, or someone who wants to start his career right out of highschool! It’s possible.
How I did it
My very first job offer was at 17 years old, and started working the day I turned 18 at a job most would need a college education to achieve, by 19 I already started and failed at 4 different busines ventures, by 20 I became a junior partner of a contract growing business, By 21 I was a associate stock broker, publishing consultant and marketing consultant for authors in the U.S,both of which gave me the opportunity to earn equal to that of a hotel manager in the Philippines, shortly afterwards I was offered to spearhead the Brand management of a beach resort in Cebu, and the Cebu branch of a newly established swim wear company, both of which I turned down to again try my luck in entrepreneurship.
All these opportunities were created by someone with no diploma, no actual experience in the industry, and certainly no refferor to vouch for me.
What you will read are the two most basic yet undoubtedly most important, however! As an individual still miles away from half of what I hope to become, only take from this what is applicable to you, if you find something that you do not agree with, I ask you to simply disregard it.
Learn outside the system
If you have no experience, or one without a college diploma, let me tell you something I have found to be true, as well as what my senior co workers told me, “most of what you’ll be doing you will learn on the job not in school”.
So here’s a simple peice of advice to those with no experience, Become Self Taught! Even before you get the job start learning about the industry you wish to get into, what is required, who are the leaders, what are the trends nowadays etc. Try to ask from people already in that industry, random questions related to that industry, so that when the time comes for your interview, you will actually be able to converse properly, try to bring up topics you didnt learn in school, use phrases like, I was reading the other day, I researched something earlier, From what I understand based on my research, in my personal understanding, etc.
Show that you are different and that you care enough to learn outside your schools system about your industry, this shows you will be easier to teach on the job.
Chances are if you answer based on what you heard in school, your employer has heard the same answer your fellow graduates said.
If you have no diploma, never fear! For I am here! I got a spot in the marketing industry with zero experience, I simply studied it personally and learned all the big words and how to apply it, again as I was saying once you start educating yourself and becoming determined enough to go for it, a piece of paper given by an institution is no longer required.
Guys experience and credentials can be beat by pure hustle! And determination.
So in conclusion, The only way it gets better for you is when you get better!
Bring out your resum’e highlight your skills and objectives, practice your interviews, be confident and most of all don’t take no for an answer!
