PsychoHunter2PsychoHunter2


I m trying to find a job but all i seem to be able to put on my resume is paper routes from when i was 10-13 years old, (i m currently 16 going 17 in july) i have no previous work experience and every time i seem to put in a resume, i either 1) never get a call back Or

2) get called for a interview but never get called for a job

any sugestions on how to get a job with pretty much no work experience?

My advice is to do some volunteer work (ie work in an oxfam shop or something) you won't get paid but it will be good experiance. Also you can often get low hours ie 5-10 hours a week, this means you can still search or work for another job.
