#warehouse #jobseeker #urgent

Experience of working in a team and dealing with people in a warehouse setting will improve your chances. Getting a forklift licence will be helpful. Having retail experience and experience of working in a supervisory role is also advantageous.

Try to get some vacation work or an industrial placement in a warehouse to test your suitability for this area of work. Consider a general warehouse position when starting out, for example, as a trainee supervisor with a smaller organisation. Experience in these jobs can lead to line-management positions.

I Need Some Advice

I am 21 years old and dropped out of college last November. Due to a lack of finances, problems at home, and realizing the degree I was pursuing was impractical (think of it as the perfect degree for an sjw), I decided to dropout and move back in with my mother in order to find work, save money, hopefully rent a small studio apartment, and then focus on earning a worthwhile degree. Of course, life isn't that simple and the biggest issue I am having is finding a job.

I have a year of experience working as a Custodian and 2 years working in data entry. Both were part-time, on-campus jobs. Since I want to pursue work in data entry and other office related work, my resume only has data entry for my previous work experience. In addition to my experience, I have experience with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. I can only type around 50 words per minute but I know HTML, CSS, Python, and am currently learning Java. I have no formal education in these programming/markup languages and instead used various free online resources (Youtube, Codeacademy, etc.) (This paragraph is not for bragging but to give more information on what I have to offer as a potential employee).

Anyway, I have been looking for work since November. I have applied to hundreds of positions and created profile accounts on LinkedIn, Indeed, etc. So far, I have had several interviews (phone and face-to-face), but I never hear from them again. I have spoken with recruiters who would claim to "help me" find work but have never contacted me about any jobs. Not only that, but I have had companies that claim to be in the city when they are actually in the surrounding suburbs.

Although I am frustrated about not being able to find a job and having to go through multiple hoops for a low-paying job that is just enough to live on my own, this post isn't for me to rant, claim ageism or discrimination of any kind, etc. but to get some advice: how do I get job offers, especially for office jobs? Should I look for other positions, such as retail, custodial, etc.? My mother is telling me to go back to college, but I have learned more information in the past few months than I have in college (which is sad but true). Besides, my family members who have degrees (including my mother) are drowning in debt with low-paying retail jobs and I do NOT want that to happen to me.

Other than being 100% sure I should not go back to college until I have enough money, I do not know what to do: its like I am trapped and employees look over me for other candidates.
