Who doesn\u2019t love the idea of an office job? You clock in, spend your day in a nice warm room, working at a computer station. Sometimes you stop for a cup of coffee, and sometimes you even have a little friendly banter with your co-workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how can you find these types of jobs? And can you work an office job with no experience?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Administrator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When most people think of office jobs, an administrator is usually one of the first roles that comes to mind. That said, becoming an administrator may be harder than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike the other jobs on this list, admin jobs aren\u2019t always easy to get with no experience. Employers see it as a serious responsibility that facilitates better internal communications and smoother running of the company across the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the same, getting into admin with no experience can certainly be possible under the right circumstances. First of all, you have to have the right skillset. If you\u2019re just not the kind of person who\u2019s good with details, then admin may not be for you. When writing your CV, you\u2019ll want to stress examples of times when you were organised, prepared, and worked well with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, you\u2019ll need to be willing to apply for jobs that aren\u2019t a perfect fit for your CV<\/a>. Never let the requirements get in the way of your application<\/a>. <\/strong>Hiring managers tend to write their job listings optimistically and are often willing to give a chance to imperfect candidates\u2014those without the required experience or qualifications\u2014if they can\u2019t find a better fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, internships<\/a> can be a great route into admin. If you\u2019re passionate about what the company does as a whole, then an internship role will often involve doing lots of junior level admin work. If you can show you\u2019re good at that work, then the company just might consider keeping you on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Receptionist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting receptionist jobs with no experience is a lot easier than getting admin roles. Receptionist jobs are simple, public facing roles, that mostly call for someone who can communicate clearly and listen\/take instructions. That\u2019s a perfect entry-level role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A receptionist job can also be a great bridge to bigger and better things. Many receptionists\u2014particularly in the hospitality industry\u2014end up as all-rounders, filling in for other everyday jobs when work at the front desk is slow. This is a perfect chance to show independence and demonstrate that you\u2019ve the mindset to be a manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, most companies would rather promote someone they know and trust than hire someone new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Working in IT is one of the more skilled entry-level roles you can go for however, contrary to what many people think, it doesn\u2019t require a degree. Having a degree certainly helps but if you\u2019ve got the knowledge and understanding and you can show that in an interview, then many places will be willing to take you on in an entry-level capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, having one or two less experienced people is often useful for an IT department. One of the hardest challenges of IT is less about the technical side of things and more about communicating technical information to non-technical employees. Having an entry-level person around allows for a bridge role to facilitate better communications between both sides of the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customer Service<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it might not be the most popular role in the world, there\u2019s a lot to be said for working in customer service. As beginner office jobs<\/a> go, it\u2019s fairly easy to get into without experience. At the same time, it\u2019ll serve to give you the experience you need. Once you\u2019ve worked in customer service, you\u2019ll have developed many useful skills that other employers will value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, let\u2019s not sugar coat things. There is a major downside to working in customer service and that\u2019s that it requires a lot of patience. When people contact customer service, they\u2019re often angry, confused, and frustrated with your company. As a representative of that company, you\u2019ll face the brunt of their anger. You probably haven\u2019t personally caused their problem but you\u2019re likely to get shouted at for it all the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To put it bluntly, customer service is a gauntlet. If you stay in customer service for more than a year or two, then future employers will see that you\u2019ve got a tough skin and that you can handle anything the public throws at you. It\u2019s not for the faint of heart but it will legitimately help you build job skills that will be useful for future employment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
