can any job havers here give me some advice?
I'm not expecting any glamorous jobs to hire me. I heard that a local fast food place was hiring so I wanna try landing a job there.
Resume:
I am 21 years old and graduated highschool but have no prior job experience (babysitting, mowing lawns, etc. I'm useless I'm sorry ). What do I even put on my resume? I read that I could put down what I did for extracurriculars but I only ever did orchestra in middle school but stopped in hs. Other than that, I didn't do anything but like art lmao. I'm also not going to college or uni because I'm broke, my family's broke, and I don't wanna risk going into debt.
The interview:
So I managed to land one interview before but got rejected because I was so nervous and was just coming up with answers on the spot. Does anybody know what kind of questions they ask so I can like preplan answers instead of letting my dumb ass brain mess things up? Also, what's the appropriate level of eye contact I should maintain throughout the entire interview because I think I stared too much at the interviewer in my last one. Another thing, I don't have a driver's license but I have an expired passport than I can possibly use as an ID, would that be acceptable? (Please don't be afraid to tell me if I'm fucked if it's not)
Taxes:
What do I even do here? Do I like jot down how much I get paid every month and then set aside money to give to the IRS? I don't want to get arrested for accidental tax evasion.
That's all my questions for now. Job havers, please save me from being a broke useless jobless bum.
Why don’t you try a trade? Being an electrician is cool and basically you’re being paid to learn, after 4 years you’ll make a looot of money, you’ll just start as an apprentice. Don’t worry about interview, they know you don’t know much lol just need to show you’re interested. Taxes, they’ll take that from your weekly paycheck
