    I once got not that bad advice - apply for jobs you dont really want or dont care if you dont get it, but you have some qualifications.
    Like idk call center where you need english or retail or something like that (where you dont need a lot to get called for an interview). practice beforehand ofc but it will help you a lot with confidence and learning how to speak in an interview. You will also see how the process goes. (you might actually get the job this way)
    and on no experience part - lie how you want to grow with them, learn from them etc. maybe try to get an intership, depending on the position you are aiming.

    well, I think that I'm going to do this 'cause I really don't know what jobs I really want to do.
    Thank you for you answer ! :)

    you need to start somewhere. nothing will happen if you don't move one step forward. quit it with giving high standards for yourself in order to get a job and just use what you have. as a newly grad you are suppose to make the most of your first job as the start of your experience points.

    TBH that works... even if the job doesn't have to do with the person's course for now, it helps with developing workplace attitude thus gaining confidence.

    I’m 22 and never had a job probably won’t for another year until I graduate from uni. So don’t stress, don’t give a damn what people think off you. Go get some experience. :) maybe volunteer?

    Everybody needs to start somewhere. Send your resume everywhere cause for a 100 resume sent out, you might get 3 or 4 call back.

    Of course, getting summer jobs when you're younger is the best, but it doesn't mean you won't find one at 22.
