49 No Experience Required Job Ideas To Get You Started (Online & Offline)

0 Shares

Every single one of us has been there. When we click on an entry-level, no experience required job listing online and scroll down to what they’re looking for and it’ll say under requirements: “2-5 years of experience in __________.” We started a 40+ list of no experience needed job ideas. Note: not all of them will work because free lunches are hard to find, you will need some skill set be it art, AutoCAD, phone/customer service, virtual assisting, something.

Honestly, it’s just one of the frustrating things about adult life – the bureaucracy is baked into the system. Not to mention nepotism. But if you don’t want to go through this list, I will give you a quick helpful tip I’ve learned in my years of applying for jobs and hiring out: good jobs barely make it onto those Craigslist ads or job boards. Most of these ‘no experience jobs’ are usually referred out personally (hence nepotism) so it just depends on your location + who you know. If you want to stand a chance and feel less alone, do try a reputable staffing agency. (No reputable agency asks for money without getting you a good job first.)
