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.
Honestly? I just tweaked my 'job experience' to sound more professional.
Did art? - Freelance Artist
Looked after your siblings or someone elses sibling? - Babysitter
Manage a personal page? (I have one for art & cosplay) - Social Media Manager
You gotta be smart and squeeze every bit of value out of your life experiences.
