How to Get a Job Even You Don’t Have the

Experience
 First and foremost, tailor your resume and make a cover letter that fits with
the job description. This is where you highlight the carpentry training or
apprenticeship you’ve taken and the internship and on-the-job training
completed. Also, feature on the resume the soft skills you have that can
positively contribute to the job. You need to sell yourself, you do this by honing a
detailed resume and cover letter. There is a myriad of ways you can do this but
make sure you have what you’ve written.

 Make a list of people who can potentially help you find a job. Network with
your colleagues and ask if they know some companies with openings. If you
personally know the person, you can immediately send personal messages and
start asking him of any company that is hiring candidates even with no
experience.

 Find a job placement agency that could help you find a job. Employers and
job agencies are fairly well connected. Working with a job agency is simply telling
them that you need a job, they will then basically search their records and find if
you fit in the opening. When I was starting and don’t have any experience yet,
the agency is the one that helped me find my first job. They can support you on
your job search and even coach you on career guidance.

 Get the education and complete the carpentry training course. Perhaps,


employers may be telling you don’t have yet enough experience for the job,
prove to them that you have some to offer. Show them your certificate and other
qualifications and that you’ve had the formal education, you just need a break to
earn experience. If the employer knows that you’re persuasive, they might hire
you for your good attitude.

You may be constantly being turned down because you don’t have experience yet, with
the tips I mentioned above, I hope have helped you get a job as a carpenter.

To Make a Finalization
If you think it is impossible or at least hard on how to become a carpenter with no
experience, no it is not! It can be hard, in the beginning, to get your foot on the door
without the right knowledge and education. I’ve been in those situations many times
before when I was starting many years ago. Invest time into taking carpentry training if
you want to pursue this career. Having the right attitude and employing the proper skill
work best if you have both.
We wish you good luck on your journey of becoming a carpenter! Always be
encouraged!
