Question: How to get a more proffesional job for 1st yr undergrad  Commerce student? Just finished 1st yr Commerce at UBC (im 20). I can get low skilled jobs easily; however, wat i focus on is not only making money but also EXPERIENCE-professional exp. such as a helper in the bank, work for telus/rogers, and "real" companies. ANyone noe Any places that provide workers with prof. experience? \nI also do tutoring. But how do i start tutoring ONLINE? No idea. Thx :D

Answer: you gotta start somewhere. you can get professional jobs right out of college but they'll be, depending on what you're looking for, manager trainee or asst. something. look at it this way, you haven't any professional expereince but are looking for work at a place that is "professional." stepping stones you know. gotta learn to crawl before you can walk. find something along the lines of work you're looking for. stick it out for awhile, then start looking for the real job you want to get. if you want to work at a bank, start off as a teller or a sales associate. you'll learn everything you need to know and in a 8-10 months you'll know enough to shop yourself around and look for something more professional. education nowadays is expected but really amounts to nothing. experience is what employers look for. can you do the job, have you ever done it before, have you been successful in the past. they need documented track of success or very good references that prove to them you are capable of handling the job and responsibilites. no one gives professional experience, you gain it. like i said, you have to start somwehere. sounds to me like your looking for the quick fix to your career search and it's very unlikely you'll ever find it. might get lucky but most likely you'll just keep looking and find nothing.
