How can you change careers without going to school...?

I get so frustrated when I start to look for a new job, and with something as easy as Admin Asst. they want like 3 years of exp. How can I get the exp. if they aren't willing to give anyone a job to obtain that exp.?! UGH!!!How can you change careers without going to school...?
In today's business world, an Admin. Assistant job is far from easy. From phone calls, mailings, customer service, orders, etc it's a big responsibility. Hell, our receptionist is often up to her neck in work and NONE of it is easy.



Look for entry level positions that don't require experience. You can find something but it will take time and a willingness to start at the bottom.How can you change careers without going to school...?
Try going with a Temp Agency. I think it's a great way to experience many different types of businesses and opportunities. It gives you an opportunity to try on a position before you decide that's the place for you.How can you change careers without going to school...?
Have you ever thought of starting your own business? I know of an opportunity where you do not need any experience where you can have a business for your self but not be in business by yourself.

I remember going through the same frustration oh so many years ago. And you'll probably also find that you can't get any place to give you credit until you have established some credit history. So, what to do?



During your time away from the job, take an inventory of what it is you really like to do, not just for a job, but in life. Do you enjoy music more than the average bear? Are you a creative type of person who loves coming up with unique solutions to common problems? Think about it - hard.



Then, make a list of all of the different types of jobs there could possibly be. Don't limit yourself to what you see advertised in the newspaper. That is only the tip of the iceberg.



For each job, list the types of skills one would need in order to perform the job. Start matching up jobs with skills. You will find many skills overlap with several different jobs.



Pick a job that seems interesting to you and research it and the companies that use that type of employee What appeals to you about it? Is it the type of job you can do for 8 hours a day, go home and work on something else that gives you more satisfaction? Or is it a job that you can see yourself doing for quite some time? Either way, use what you have to get what you want. And always rememeber that perception is everything. If you think it is a royal pain in the rear to find a new job, then it will be.
