How old. Got my first at 14 by going around fast good joints asking to talk to mangers and handing in resumes directly. Same with warehouses at 17. After that I called every contractor I could find in the phone book and got a roofing/brick laying gig. Roofed after school until I got an entry level qc job with my Chem engine degree but unironically learned to code and just do data analysis now. Am 24 now, still struggling and with parents but at least I have 30k in liquid assets/no debt and some weird life experience.

After college I had a few job interviews off craigslist with no call backs. Then by some coincidence I landed an interview at a place named after a neighborhood that I had a lot of family in. After walking into the interview I mentioned it, turns out half the company lives there and they know all my aunts, uncles and cousins. Neddless to say I got the job. It was a shitty job that paid $25k but 4 years later I make $50k at another company. So to be perfectly honest my first job I got was from nepotism, but that was just dumb luck- I wasn't handed the job.

This. This is especially true with fast food jobs. They have ZERO standards, and I mean that. If you have a pulse, you're hired. They are DESPERATE. Turnover is insane. They are having trouble keeping fast food restaurants open because of being understaffed.

Applications may look intimidating with experience requirements, but those are just formalities. Trust me, they do not matter for fast food jobs, i.e., your first job. Doesn't have to be fast food, either. Could be a grocery store position. Bottom position in a warehouse job. Whatever. Doesn't matter. They're desperate. Just keep applying to places.

As you can see from all these millennials posting, zoom-zooms have no chance lieing about their skills. We got good at lieing to boomers. Zoom zooms are past that meta, and need a new one. You're young, so any lie you have will be necessarily vapid anyway. What will you lie about, "I fixed my grandma's computer once and she paid me for it?" You prolly *did.* Jeeze.

You will not get a "job" unless you're lucky.

HOWEVER.

Zoom zooms have all the money. A few invested in bitcoin, or have brothers who did. Zoomers have the market for new businesses. Go to CoFounder's, Craigslist, Upwork, Reddit, find someone looking to bring on a partner. Show enthusiasm and an IQ greater than 130. Shill your fucking ass off taking boomer money for the startup. Reinvest in LINK, LIT, and a handful of shitcoins. HODL.

If your IQ is low, do the same but in the service. Join the Navy so you can play D&D all day, get free food, and avoid the temptation to swing-trade. Invest 80% of your earnings in crypto.

ok I'll tell you faggots how to get a good job, no larp.

#1. Learn a specific skill that is useful. Example, video editing, programming, digital marketing, design, math, French, whatever.... Make sure it's specific and that you're good at it. No general STEM/social degree bullshit. You need specific useful skills that a business might actually need without having to train you at all. It might take 6 months or a year of pure practicing on your own and researching online to be useful enough to a business.

#2. Join facebook/reddit/meetup.com/linkedin/etc groups related to that skill. Participate in online threads. If you see people who seem interesting / useful / in your area, add them as friends and talk to them privately. Mingle, make friends.

#3. Go to real life meet ups (meetup.com) and conventions/events related to that skill. Mingle, make friends. Get people's contact info (email/phone/facebook/etc).

#4. Rince repeat step #2 or #3 until you meet a biz owner that needs your skill and is willing to give you a shot, or someone who knows a biz owner that needs your skill.

If the type of skill you have cannot be done online/remote, focus on #3 more than on #2, but do not underestimate the power of #2, industries are smaller than you think, usually everyone has common friends everywhere and all relationships are useful.

Making friends with random people is hard, even impossible in most cases, but making friends with people in your industry is easy, because you have a lot in common and you both have the same goal: thrive in that industry. There should be endless things to talk about since you're both in the same industry and there should be instant mutual understanding since you share the same fundamental goals.

You don't need to be an extravert or do anything crazy. You can meet people online. And at meetups and conventions usually people will start talking to you first and once they realize you are in the industry and you're a useful skilled person, you'll naturally be valuable to them as a contact and they will be nice to you.
