Please suggest job's i can apply for with no Qualifications or Experience

Hi

Please suggest job's i can apply for with no Qualifications or Experience

Their must be more jobs i can apply for then
-Customer service (shop and call centre)
-Sales (Selling stuff e.g car sales man)
-Delivery driver

I was thinking their must be a job you can do with full training that requires no experience in that job role or qualification.

What about a job on cruise ship?
Any website suggestion or tips?

I ma happy to try anything if it pays more then a shop worker, please do not suggest policeman or fireman

    - Cleaner/road sweep/bin man
    - Barman
    - Waiter
    - Kitchen porter (washing up mostly)
    - Postman
    - Bus/train/tube driver
    - Head of IT Support at the company where I work (I swear they are all completely unqualified)

    Have you looked at apprenticeships or trainee positions?

    They won't be well paid to start but are more likely to lead to a career with better prospects.

    If you can't earn what you would like to without qualifications or experience then perhaps you need to consider gaining some.

    No exp in work at all? Why no qualifications? How old are you?

    If you have no ties holding you down. There is good money to be made in being on a trawler for commercial fishing. You would probably have to move to Iceland, Norway or something like that and be prepared to work hard, but the rewards would be good.


    Working on the Oil rigs or merchant navy.


    Work in a company as a Data Entry clerk / administrator and then progress through internal vacancies and take advantage of work paying for new qualifications.

    Getting some qualifications, even if it's just GCSE Maths and English or an equivalent, would seem like a sensible idea as that will open up much more of the job market to you. The fact is that people with qualifications will be applying for pretty much every job there is, so they may well be ahead of you in consideration regardless of the job.

    It's rough out there.
    I have GCSE's and also a GNVQ in IT, and I can't get anything.
    The Only sniff I get is for warehouse/picking/packing roles.
    Good luck

    Please, please don't take this the wrong way- spelling and grammatical mistakes are often very common reasons for an application not being shortlisted, so when sending them, please check them beforehand. If you are dyslexic, please ask someone to check for you. Please don't think that I'm having a go, because I really am not.

    Can you drive? Have you had a full licence for X amount of years? Does bus or coach driving appeal? Bus companies, especially First Group, put you through your training and licence and it has been said that the money can be ok.

    I left school with no GCSEs and only ever bothered to take an AS level at evening classes. I managed somehow to get my foot in the door in an admin role and worked my way up to a senior position.

    It is possible, good luck :)
