Our helpful hints and tips (not quite life hacks...):
- How to get a job with no experience: Job Seeker Tips | Ingeus
- Identify your skills and positive attributes
- Write them down
- Practise telling someone what's on your list and how you know it is true (and useful)
- Try volunteering
- The main positive of this is that you build up experience without affecting your benefits
- This is a really positive indicator for a future employer that you are serious and dedicated
