How can you get your fi rst job when you don’t have Jobs any experience?
t’s all about who you know and connecting with the interviewer. I grew up as a quiet kid in a noisy house. Fortunately, my parents’ best friend, Mrs. Garcia, lived next door. She often invited me over to do my homework in peace and eat one of her world-famous cookies. She became like a second mom to me and even taught me how to make her cookies. After I graduated from high school, I moved to another city, got my degree in marketing, and started looking for a job. My mom said I should call Mrs. Garcia to see if she knew of any good jobs. Mrs. Garcia suggested I email her niece, who was a marketing manager at a cool sunglasses company. A few days later, her niece called me to come in and interview for a market researcher job. Her fi rst question was, “So, my aunt tells me you’re quiet, really smart, and the only other person in the world who can make her cookies. What’s your secret? I can never make them right.” I laughed, “Well, I went to her house almost every day as a kid. I guess it’s just practice.” Her niece and I had a lot in common. We talked about Mrs. Garcia, cookies, and sunglasses for about 15 minutes before we even started talking about the job. I left the interview feeling great and, a few days later, she called to offer me the job. So my advice is to talk to your friends, family, and old neighbors! They can help you fi nd good places to apply and convince a company that you’ll do a good job.
