3 . At the start of your career, it can feel like a Catch-22 situation: You can’t get hired without experience, but you can’t get experience without being hired.     1     Luck certainly plays a part and personal connections can be hugely valuable, but what else can you do?

Target realistic roles. If you don't have relevant experience in your chosen field, you’ll have to apply for roles right at the bottom of the ladder and work your way up—     2     They can both be character building and a great way to develop a knowledge of the role. That will give you a head start as you work your way up through the organization.

Emphasize the skills you do have. Don't get hung up on the experience you don’t have.     3     Soft skills such as communication, and team working are highly valued by all sorts of employers. If you lack experience in your chosen field, then it’s important to acknowledge that, but use it as an opportunity to demonstrate your passion for the role and your motivation to learn.

    4     Some industries are so competitive that, even to get an entry-level position, you might have to consider working for free. Volunteering and internships (实习) are excellent opportunities to gain first-hand knowledge of a job and build useful contacts that could lead to a paid position.

Stay busy and resilient (有韧性的) . Trying to find a job with little or no experience isn't easy, and yet it’s something everyone has gone through.     5     However, by volunteering, participating in community activities, being social and getting out in the world, opportunities will present themselves and you will find the right role for you.

A．Look for work experience.

B．Seek jobs with no experience needed.

C．How does an employer decide on whom to interview?

D．So, what is the key to getting jobs with no experience?

E．It’s all too easy to take the rejection personally and quit.

F．There’s certainly no shame in targeting entry-level and junior roles.

G．Instead, focus your application on the skills that make you a great fit for the role.

6 . How to Choose the Right Career?

Choosing the right career can be difficult, and consequently you will find many of us can hardly find a suitable job in our daily life.     1    

    2    

Assess your hobbies. It is very easy to turn your hobbies or something you love doing into a future career. Many hobbies are related to real world needs and positions. Consider what you like to do and how that might fit into a career. Remain humble as you work toward your goal.

Assessing your skills

Consider what skills you are good at. If you are particularly good at certain skills, such as fixing things or making things, this can provide you with a great future career, since skilled labor is often in demand and you will find it fairly easy to find work.     3     People who interact with others well can easily get careers as social workers or in marketing and similar business positions.

Considering your current state

Explore yourself. Figuring out what you should do with your life may sometimes require you to get to know yourself better. If you want a career that will really make you happy, you have to have an impressive awareness of what you want and what you enjoy.     4    

Thinking about your future

Examine your future financial security. One of the most important things to consider is if the career path you're choosing will provide you with an acceptable level of financial security. In other words, will you be able to make enough money to support yourself and your family? Meanwhile, you are supposed to pay special attention to your future job stability,     5     Accordingly, you will need to consider if the career you choose is stable enough for you and your desires for the future.

Admittedly, the combination of the above four steps proved extremely effective when choosing the future career. Once you get started, you'll find it quite beneficial and even enjoyable!

A．Evaluating your interests

B．Assessing your personality

C．Therefore, having a defined career direction will help you achieve your goal.

D．Job markets changes a lot as society needs different things at different times.

E．For some people, this means taking some time off to decide what's vital to them.

F．If you have a good command of communicating with others, there are jobs for you as well.

G．However, with serious self-planning and self-reflection, you can set yourself on a path towards a fulfilling career.
