It can be daunting when we live in an age where employers seem to require skills for every job they offer. But employers also want employees that are honest, reliable, dependable, and come across as having a great personality.

If a job applicant comes across with those personality traits, a potential employer will take notice.

The most important things employers seek in potential employees that have no skills or experience is personality and ambition. The key is to make sure those come through in the interview or application process.

If you don’t currently have experience or skills for a position, it helps to show an employer that there is potential in you, and they may be willing to train you to learn the skills you need for the job.

There are many jobs out there that are entry level and require no skills, but offer on the job training.

Here are more tips on getting hired:

Learn about the company you’re trying to get a job with. It will be a plus to a potential employer, and they will feel you have already invested in the company. They will further believe in your potential to learn more and they may feel that you are teachable.

Maybe you don’t have relevant work experience or skills, but there are things you’ve done in your personal life that would help. For instance, say a mother homeschooled her kids until they graduated, but she never worked or developed skills outside of the home.

She had to write lesson plans, research for a particular subject, create tests and score them, etc. She sees an ad in the newspaper in the help wanted section for an assistant editor, which requires researching articles, meeting deadlines for filing other articles, and writing two articles a week for the paper.

She may not have job experience or learned skills, but she could apply the skills she used as a homeschooling mom/teacher to the job at the newspaper. It’s called upselling.  She can sell herself and make her experience relevant for the job she wants.

For those who still feel they have no marketable or relevant experience or skills, there are jobs out there that require absolutely nothing in the way of skills. Maybe you are fresh out of high school and need something to earn a few wages while attending college?

Maybe you haven’t been in the work force and never realized any relevant work skills? These are some of the best jobs for people with no skills: (but remember, you’ll gain skills as you stay in the workforce longer).

ANIMAL CARE

In the field of animal care, all you really need is a love of animals. The best part is that with many of these types of jobs, you can set your own hours.

There are some administrative and clerical positions that are entry level and require no skills. The best thing is they often teach skills on the job and offer opportunities for growth later on.

RETAIL

Most jobs in retail don’t require skills beyond being able to effectively work with people, especially within a public setting. A pleasant personality is all that’s required.

Salaries vary widely from state to state, from $29,000 a year to $79,000 annually.

WORKING WITH CHILDREN

Some people find it very rewarding and fulfilling to work with children. If you are one of these people, then one of these jobs may be for you.

School Bus Drivers only need clean driving records as well as the absence of a criminal record. Oh, and lots of patience. The bonus is they usually only work in two short spurts a day, a couple of hours at a time. Once in the morning, driving kids to and from school, and then in the afternoon, picking them up from school and dropping them off at home. Perks are holidays off and summertime as well.

Benefits are usually good and the average annual salary is approximately $30,000.

Baby Sitters only need to like to work with children and have lots of patience. You need to be able to take care of a baby or child as if it was your own, with lots of care and love. Parents don’t look for someone who is skilled. They just want to be able to trust the person they are considering leaving their child with. If you are able to bond well with their child, that’s another step in the door.

Full time babysitters earn an average median salary of $20,000 a year.

There are many more jobs to be had for people who lack skills. Among others that made the list are librarian assistants, housekeeping, factory workers, truck drivers, entry level oilfield jobs, and more.

If you lack skills, don’t let that stop you from pursuing gainful employment. Remember, some of these positions will give you experience and help develop skills that can help for better jobs later on.
