How did you break into your field?

i went to a government sponsered school program that had a job placement program and stayed at the job for 12 years. it was a secretarial course and i have worked in that field, on and off for almost all my working life. the job that i had right out of highschool was at a big box store and with that job, i got hired for my smile.

Personally, I had a part-time job during my graduate year, and it was credited as my experiences. After finishing my academic studies, I continued my job at the same company, this time it was full-time. The boss and other agents knew me very well and so they're very kind to me. We got familiar with our style. It seemed too easy for me, but I think that there're always companies accepting unexperienced workers. The tactic is to find these companies. I don't think of leaving my current job, but if I had to do it, I would forge my interview skills to compete a new career. Well, I've been a recruiter, and I know what they need. Don't describe yourself with idle comments such as I'm a good seller, a good worker,...Should start directly such as : I sold that product, I did this trick,...

I got my job set up while I was still in University. The thing with getting a job out of university is information is still fresh so if they get you coming out while your mind is still a sponge then it allows for greater learning in trainning. SOme times we have high expectations from a job and we want that high salary but like everything we must start at the bottom and work our way up. Right now with the way the economy is companies benefit more from experience then if they have to put more money into training (money they could put else where if they had an experienced worker) I think with the way times are right now if you can't get a job and your young enough go back to school. A lot of people are choosing to upgrade their education for many reasons finding a job is one of them and while your waiting it out you can upgrade your degree to something that will make you even more qualified possibly giving you that experience they seek.
