Hello! Getting a Job without any work experience? Hell yeah! That is TOTALLY possible. However, understand that there is a split difference between having no work experience and being unqualified for a job.
Let’s make it easier to understand
Having no experience on a job means that you’ve NEVER worked that particular job or in some cases any job at all.
On the other hand, being unqualified for a job means that there is no background at all or that you’ve not garnered the appropriate knowledge for the job and there is no potential of succeeding at the job.
So without much ado, let’s get into how you could get that bag (in this case, that job) with little or no experience!

5 Proven Ways to hit that Dream Job with Little or no Work Experience
1. Draft your resume for every job interview
As lame as this may sound, this actually gives you a 65% chance of being called for an interview.
Although drafting a different domain for each job description may be tedious but would you rather prefer to send out 50 applications and get 1 or no response than to send 10 resumes and get a call from three (3) companies?
Always make sure to go through the job description and align your past experiences with them.
2. Increase Your Network Base

With referrals from a trusted source, you’ll have the privilege of being trusted and regarded the same way your referral was also regarded.
If you are a fresh graduate, why not reach out to some of the alumni who are now employed and find out if their companies are hiring.
Make sure to also stay in contact with colleagues and high-ranking people that can referral you and trust me with one phone, or one text/letter that can change the outcome of your life and job search.
