i gain experience by working, that’s true, but I’m kinda bad at everything. i can’t do sports, so i can’t be like a junior coach if that exists. i can’t be a swim instructor, i can’t swim. i might be able to be a jr. camp counselor but i don’t know cpr or first aid, and what if there’s a pool?? barista involves quick work and having to “go, go, go” and i have to take a while to process things. i also don’t have the best, most detail-oriented brain and memory.
there’s not really any interest i have that i have extensive knowledge in, and while i do want a job, some of them prefer babysitting experience, which i’ve never done due to not having any kids in my neighborhood.
i could be a tutor because the one im looking at involves passing at least algebra i, and a review says high school students might not even have to teach high school-level math, so i’m probably good for that, but someone online said since i get distracted easily due to my disability and since i don’t know math up and down, inside and out, that they wouldn’t even pay me to help their kid because i would be so bad, but i wont listen to them.
what’s a good first job? where should i workkkk??? i’ve been thinking a lot about this but i’m so, so nervous!!!
the world needs ditch diggers too
Why not do a basic food safety course? It could help you find a job (a server, anyone even passing food to customers in a container is considered a food handler like a cashier, even a dishwasher because they handle clean dishes that touch people’s food), and it’ll help you keep you from getting sick.
One of my first jobs between school years was as a busser before I worked a summer in a chocolate factory. From there, you talk to people and get their insights from their previous jobs, and you figure out if it’s something you could stay in longer or if it’s just a job to pay the bills.
I want a tv show about this. It’s a woman in her 40s, and her husband died. She’s never worked a day in her life, so she’s applying to find a job. And every episode she finds a new job, and also gets fired from that job because she’s not good at it.
And then, on the final episode, instead of a happy ending where she finds peace, she’s been mentally insane this entire time. The majority of the series takes place in an insane asylum where she’s imagining what her life would be like in various jobs.
I’d watch that.
Learning CPR and first aid (and getting certified in those topics) is cheap and ridiculously easy. Look up your local Red Cross organization, since they probably offer local courses in it that are either free or very cheap. And even if it’s not useful to your job it can be very helpful. I’ve performed the Heimlich maneuver (it whatever they call it now) on my wife on two separate occasions when she was choking on some food (due to her thrust bring sworn with a cold and her biting off a bit too much pizza).
Here’s are some ideas for jobs for younger people with limited to no work experience:
- Retail stores
- Restaurants
- Grocery stores
- Trampoline parks
- Lazer tag places
- Bowling alleys
- Roller skate parks
- Ice rinks
- Instructional assistants at schools
Good luck.
Becoming CPR/First Aid certified isn’t that difficult. Take one afternoon and you’re good for two years.
Plenty of online options if you can’t find an in-person class. Lots are free.
I don’t know about you, but what would be best for us is if people stopped making multiple accounts a day to post the same posts
It’s just fucking weird there’s a constant stream of new accounts that claim to be underage girls and how they need money and don’t know what to do with it.
Even if it wasn’t obvious it was the same person making them all.
Just stick with one account and everyone not dumb enough to fall for it can block you, and you and gullible idiots can do your roleplay.
uhh, if you say so
Have you looked into gardening? Healthy, rewarding, easy to get started, room to grow (if you’ll pardon the pun)…
