Therein lies an age-old conundrum: how can I get experience when I can\u2019t get a job because I don\u2019t have enough experience?<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Apply anyway<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s some good news. One thing to understand about job postings is that the requirements are not always set in stone. Think of a job posting as an employer\u2019s wish list. The perfect candidate may not be that easy to find if that person exists at all. If you see a job that you know you could do, and you have a fair number of the qualifications and relevant experience posted, you should apply. Also keep in mind that sometimes, <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/expertise-credentials-different-good\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">different (yet suitable) qualifications can be good<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an interesting finding that has been quoted a lot since it\u2019s publication in the <a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2014\/08\/why-women-dont-apply-for-jobs-unless-theyre-100-qualified\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harvard Business Review<\/a> in 2014: a study found that women won\u2019t apply for a job unless they believe they are 100 percent qualified; while men will apply when they have just 60 percent of the qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, 15 percent of women in the study indicated that the top reason they didn\u2019t apply was \u201cI was following the guidelines about who should apply.\u201d Only eight percent of men gave this as a top reason.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re male or female, this is a great approach to job seeking: just apply. Aim high, and don\u2019t overthink every little thing.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>You May Have More Experience Than You Think<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tyler-nix-334341-unsplash.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-8598\" src=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tyler-nix-334341-unsplash-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"consider all past work experience when searching for a new job\" width=\"279\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tyler-nix-334341-unsplash-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tyler-nix-334341-unsplash-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tyler-nix-334341-unsplash-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/tyler-nix-334341-unsplash-1080x1620.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px\" \/><\/a>Over the past three or four years, you\u2019ve probably worked enough hours during the summers and part-time during the school year to build up some work experience. Even if this experience doesn\u2019t directly relate to your field of study, you\u2019ll have gained skills and experience that will be valuable in some way.<\/p>\n<p>For example, many students work in the foodservice industry. Slinging burgers or Caramel Macchiatos may not feel like it has anything to do with your career but think back to before you had your first job. These fast-paced jobs are pretty demanding in their own way. They require you to show up for work on time, think on your feet, work as part of a team, and follow the company\u2019s rules and guidelines to a T. What employer wouldn\u2019t value these qualities in an employee?<\/p>\n<p>As a next step, think about any volunteer work that you have done. If those volunteer roles add up to more than a month or two, they are also worth listing on your resume. Some employers may count this toward your work experience. You should certainly highlight anything you learned or accomplished on your resume. If you\u2019ve done any co-op or internship hours, definitely add those in too since you should have developed some transferable skills while a co-op employee or intern.<\/p>\n<p>So, <strong>what\u2019s the takeaway<\/strong>? Try not to sell yourself short. It\u2019s likely that you have learned something from each job that you\u2019ve had so give yourself credit and help your future employer screen you in for further consideration since you have some experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do you want<strong> help preparing for your first interviews? <\/strong>Some<strong> advice on your resume and <a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/your-cover-letter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cover letter<\/a>?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you need help navigating the world of work?\u00a0<\/strong>Contact Dr. Helen today for a free and confidential initial consultation by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ioadvisory.com\/blog\/appointments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">phone<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:%20helen@ioadvisory.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">email<\/a>,\u00a0or via direct message on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/drheleno_ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IOAdvisoryServices\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>, or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/helenofosu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you ever wished you could get inside the head of a hiring manager?
