It’s quite discouraging and seems almost impossible to overcome. We have accumulated some tips to help you go from zero to hero and land your first job in a very reasonable amount of time. Get proper education You can start taking classes or attend workshops and also get specialized certificates and diplomas. This may help you to get the knowledge for the job you are applying to. Also, it will level up your dedication and commitment. Moreover, teachers are a great way to expand your network. Level up your resume Another great way to gather some experience before you land your first job in New York City is to work in specific areas of your interest with little or no money. It may not sound motivating but, it will help you to get some hands-on experience.

  3. You may start by volunteering, or getting your skills honed up with some internship or freelancing. You can also start by contributing to a blog. This will show off your talents and your passion for work. Also, this will fill up your resume with relevant experience and level up your portfolio to impress the employers. Sketch up your skills Get some pens and paper and list up your skills, experience, and personal traits. List up all the qualities you have that may help you to get a job. Now focus on the parts that need to be improved and start working on them. Get a certificate for the skills if needed. You can also use this certificate as a reference for what you need to highlight in your CV and cover letter.

  4. Seek expert advice You can also seek opinions from experts in your field. But of course, before asking for tips and favors, you need to establish some connection. Try commenting on their online blogs, or send appreciation letters to make that connection. Experts love to advise people who follow them. But don’t flood their inbox with emails. Make sure that your comments are relevant and genuine. Make up a compelling story to start off Make up a captivating career-starting story that leaves no doubts that you are the perfect person for the job you are applying for.

Also, make them impressed with your passion, throw in your skills and experience, and top it off with your relevant education on that field. Refurbish your resume Make sure that your resume is made up of all the key factors of your talent and skills and not just the job title.

  5. Make sure your CV doesn’t dwell on the things you have done in the past but focuses on what you can offer to the position based on your experience. Your resume must look and showcase all the great things you can contribute in the future. Aim high, but be reasonable Aiming high is good, but while you are starting it is important to use your common sense while applying for your first job in New York City. As you are a beginner, apply for entry-level positions.
