<p>I have nothing to do this summer so I thought I should just apply for a job. Well every place I went to gave me an interview yet I didn't get hired at one. Why? Well my guess is because of that questiong during the interview "you don't seem to have much experience". </p>
<p>Now my question is how can one gain experience on the job if he/she is not able to get a job in the first place?</p>
<p>haha. it's just a retarded system.</p>
<p>...where the whole "connections" thing plays in.</p>
<p>What are you looking for?</p>
<p>anything at night cause i don't have a ride during the day. If i had a car and that nice little plastic card in my wallet i would like to work at borders but i have neither of those two things.</p>
<p>Volunteer. That's experience too.</p>
<p>Also, when they ask for experience relating to the responsibilities of the job, you can relate some of the things you did in school (ex. leadership skills by being leader of a club, speaking skills through drama, etc.)</p>
<p>It's the way you sell yourself really. I know it's so stupid sometimes when they ask for experience when you can't even get one job but it just takes a lot of patience and a lot of rejections. lol.</p>

<p>I had a ten minute interview yesterday and got hired immediately with no job experience whatsoever. But I don't know what kind of job you've been looking for, I just applied to a grocery store. They kind of had to hire me, with a 4.2 GPA and motivation--they asked me where I wanted to go to college and probably weren't expecting me to answer "MIT."</p>
