I need a 2nd job but it's so hard to find one. I'm only 20 years old and have on had 2 previous jobs...

I have been applying everywhere and I haven't gotten a call back. Is it better to apply in person at the place or is applying online just the same? I have only applied online everywhere. I am only looking for these types of jobs: Front desk receptionist for a hotel, hostess at a restaurant, or a secretary job at an office. I have no prior experience which makes it hard for me when the employers want someone with experience. But how do I even start out and get experience for later if no one will hire me in these types of jobs? My only previous jobs are working at a movie theater as a concessionist, and now I'm assistant Pre-K teacher at a school. But I need a weekday nights and weekend job.


So really, my questions are: What are the best ways to apply for a job (talk to the hiring manager myself?), how can I get the required experience for these jobs if no one will hire me for the 1st time? And if there are any other suggestions for jobs for me that would be easy to find?

Don't limit yourself. Best way to make cash fast is start your own business and mowing lawns is it. Of course, you would have to have a way to move the mower/trimmer/blower around but you can make very good money. When you apply for a job, have a resume. Go to the library and get a book on power resumes. Take one with you when you apply. Make an appointment and go in. Be sure the manager is there when you do. When you're done, do your best to hand your resume to the manager and tell him you look forward to hearing from him/her. Be dressed for the job when you go in, be very neat %26amp; clean, shine your shoes, be very polite and well mannered. Be sure your application is very neat and completely filled out. Have them tack your resume to the back. You may not have experience in that particular job, but a receptionist deals with people much like you did at the concession stand. As a teacher you are a responsible person that deal with parents as well as children. The power resume book I got taught me how to pull the strengths out of my previous jobs and apply them to the position I was trying to get. You will be amazed just how much you have to offer them when you are through. Lots of Luck.

Reply:It sucks having experience too. Because then you're "overqualified" for half the jobs as well.

p.s. You can still keep your current job, while working part time; this could become a well paying full time job if you are a fast learner and good honest worker.
Reply:Agree with the previous poster. Have no experience you are screwed. Too much you are screwed. Eventually you will get a break like every one else does. It all depends on your detemination. Getting a second job you have to understand it is the summer months and the worst time to find work (plus our economy sucks!) Every high school and college kid who works for peanuts already scooped up the jobs. Those who are unemployed are praying for September when the job market picks up again.

Reply:If you go into a place and ask for a manager it shows initiative. People who apply online and online only are lazy and that's what it says to the people who hire.
