What Jobs Can You Do With No Qualifications?
A blank CV need not be a hindrance…
When you go to school the emphasis is generally on you getting good grades so that you can go on and get even better grades that will lead you to university where you try to get top grades in a specific discipline. <br/><br/> But what if you leave school with no grades at all? Are you basically destined to live on the dole for the rest of your life or to live with your parents until you or they die. <br/><br/> Not at all because there are plenty of jobs you can do with absolutely no grades at all. They include: <br/><br/> Self Employed <br/><br/> You don't need anyone to give you permission to start your own business. You just need some start up cash and off you go. For instance you only need to buy a bucket, some soap, a sponge and a squeegee and you can start offering to clean people's cars. Or if you want to be more ambitious than that you can buy a building and start a restaurant. The internet is also an excellent place from which to start your own business as there are lots of things you can do that require no qualifications and just a little training that you can normally get for free. <br/><br/> Low Skilled Jobs <br/><br/> Basically if you have some kind of common sense you can get a job working in fast food, restaurants, hotels, shops or factories. You only need to prove that you are of sound mind and body and that you can turn up on time and work hard and you will get a job in one of these kinds of areas. <br/><br/> Plumbing or Similar Trade <br/><br/> While you do need to have some basic maths and English skills, you can get a job as a plumber, a joiner or an electrician without any qualifications. You will need to get an apprenticeship and stick with it, but by the end you will be in a position to sit exams and get a full time well-paying job. <br/><br/> Find Something You Love <br/><br/> If you want to do more than just pay your bills and you want a career, you need to find something that you really feel passionate about. If that happens to be looking after children for instance, you can volunteer as a care worker or something, get some experience then start applying for support worker jobs that can eventually lead to career in social work. <br/><br/>
