I’m 19, don’t have very many qualifications, and am just looking for pretty much any job to make some money. But every job I look at has at least one required or “preferred” category that I don’t fit. The required ones are just sort of dickish, if 70% the jobs I find require 1 year of experience. How am I meant to get a job? And the other 30% often “prefer” another quality that I lack. And I say “prefer” in quotes because I feel like it is perhaps something they actually require, but just say “prefer” for some other reason.
Sidenote: If you are shit with people and don’t have a higher level of education, then many jobs just won’t take you. Because pretty much every job at my level of qualifications requires you to work with people, and more specifically have “excellent people skills”. I’m rubbish with people and they fucking terrify me. And the only type of job I’ve been able to find where that’s minimal, delivery driving, nearly all of them require at least a year of delivery driving experience. And the ones that don’t require delivery driving experience at least require you to have had your licence for a year. Which I couldn’t get until a couple months ago thanks to Covid.
