Application Form

DokiDoki · 04-28-2008, 10:26 PM

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum.

Anyways I was wondering about the application forms many shops give out for hiring. Some of them have questions like the last job you worked at, name of employer, etc. The thing is, I don't have any job experience and only have volunteer experience. Do I just leave that section blank? It looks kinda bad if I do.

Also, what would be a good job to start with? I was thinking maybe retail clothing store? Would I qualify?

i think you can still put your volunteer experience on the job section.
and it depends how old you are on what job you start with. if you're like 14-16 i would suggest fast food places?

and you should not just apply at one store,you should send your resume or apply to lots of stores so you can get a better chance in getting hired somewhere

Of course you should put your volunteer experience in the job experience section because volunteer experience is also relevant to job experience. Volunteer experience is even better than job experience because it shows you have initiative and not just there for the dough. And if its your first job, don't feel shy to apply at clothing stores in the mall. A friend of mine has no work experience but she's a smooth talker and really pretty and got hired at a high end cosmetic company inside The Bay!

Sometimes all you need is luck!

volunteer experience is great. i think it`s even better because you didn`t get paid for doing a job. anyways make usre you put all you volunteering down. don`t feel bad that you don`t have much, you`re probably just starting off. make sure you hand out lots of resumes to places and surely one will call you bad.

also tons offood and bev places hire students or people who don`t have a previous job.. so you should check out that too. try not to just stick to retail....
