I got my first job when I was 17 going on 18 and I was beyond awkward to start because I had never functioned in a professional environment. It was my first office job as an editor and camera operator for a small video production company in London.
I think we all know the initial struggle to finding your first job. In the beginning you apply for just about anything from customer service, retail, dog walker and almost every last one of them knock your hustle for a little independence, and THEN proceed to remind you of your lack of “experience”. When I clearly stated in the application that I’m highly motivated and keen to learn. The last time I checked experience don’t grow on trees!
