How to Get a Job Fast in This Market

Finding a summer job or employment at all right now can be tough. If you are young and in school or even just out of school it can be hard to find any jobs at all. But getting a job does not have to be difficult. There are some jobs out there that are hiring like crazy if you know were to look. While some of these summer jobs may not be what you want they are employment which might otherwise be hard to find. Besides, you may be able to gain new skills and possibly make some good money with these jobs.

The jobs that are easy to get are in sales. When I first applied for these jobs I was overwhelmed at how many places called me back so quickly. Not only will you get calls very fast for interviews but getting the jobs can be very fast. These jobs need people so bad you can have little to no experience and get job offers quickly. Besides getting a job very fast you can have your pick of jobs. Now that I have gone through the experience I can help you to get a good summer job fast.

Almost any jobs you apply for you will hear back from. You can apply for sales jobs and for customer service jobs as most customer service jobs are really sales jobs. I would only apply to a few jobs at a time. Many people respond even in less then 12 hours and you will get lots of replies so, unless you want to keep getting calls all the time, limit the number you apply to.

When you do get a call ask them information about the job. If it is a customer service job ask to see if it is really sales. You can also ask what kind of sales it is. For instance business to business tend to pay more and be easier to make. You should also ask if the job is commission only or if you get a base pay plus commission. If people will not answer your questions then you should avoid them because you will get many more chances and they may not be a very good company if they wont answer your questions.

You will also be getting enough job offers that you can easily have two or three interviews a day but I would suggest you limit yourself to two at the most if you can get one early and one late. On my first interview I had to wait an hour to get my interview which also lasted a long time.

While sales might not be for you these jobs do have lots of people who leave all the time so it is no big deal if you find the job is not right for you. You can work for a week or two and quit and have a week or two of pay. It can be a good skill to learn and you may even learn tricks from training that can help sale yourself to a better employer later. Also if you are good at sales you can make good money.

I would say if you need employment or a summer job then sales are an easy way to get a job fast. If you don’t like sales but need a job you can always try fast food instead.
