Know anyone whos never worked

Person I grew up with who is about three years younger than me hasn't worked a day in his life. He's not all there tho. Saw him last year and he looked like he is on gear too. There's thousands out there op.

Also you have to start embellishing the cv. You can't fabricate a total fake CV how you once worked in Tesco and some warehouse as the next question will be whats your references. But be creative.
When you were 19 you helped out with a local charity.
When you were 16 and 17 you helped out at your uncles garage or what ever applies.

21 and never had a job? You're looking for part-time work because you're off for Christmas? And you've only started looking now a week before Christmas?

I'm not surprised you got a PFO from McDonald's, tbh.

Really? McDonalds scoffed me off.

There's more than McDs involved in fast food. Go into your local shops and ask if they have any part time work, ask friends and family if they know of anyone who is looking for part time workers. While a CV is important for your 1st few jobs word of mouth and friends are best.

In all seriousness, employees don't have a right to discriminate based on social media. What happens outside the company to employees is none of their business.

Don't believe that for one minute..

I'm 21 and in college but off for Christmas. Trying to find a part-time job but the lack of experience definitely put two interviewers off. How do you get out of the "you need a job to get experience but experience to get a job"?

Don't take two knock backs to heart. Sometimes you interview loads of times before they find a job, and sometimes you get lucky. The better your CV, the better your odds, but there are lots of other factors, and some of it is just plain luck.

Okay so what do I do then? Apply at a temp agencies

You're in college. Time to talk about all that work experience you got on your J1 .
Fun fact but penneys won't give employees a reference no matter how long you've been there so if you say you worked in one for christmas/summer then it can't be checked.

Lie through your teeth until someone gives you the first job. You're looking to be trusted to stack shelves/make coffee/clear glasses, not perform surgery.

I had to do that to get in the door of penneys. Had some story about working in Surf Shop in France. You need to have it reasonably well rehearsed so you don't get caught out but it's no big deal. ideally just appropriate someone else's story.

1, Create an embellished CV. Give yourself experience on paper.
2, Print up cv's... go around to shops. Look at job boards like jobs.ie ... go to company websites as most require you to apply online.

Farly simply dude. The hard part is getting the job. Not the process.

You’re wasting your time. The OP would rather post about not having a job and seek out likeminded individuals than actually do something about it. Posters have given him tons of advice before, all ignored.

I'm trying to waste time in the job i currently have

Qualified turkey catcher and dispatcher would be a good one to put on the cv for the week that’s in it.
Try and get in with a butcher or meat factory

Know a few they drive past me in new cars, have a couple of foreign holidays a year and spend most day'shaving a laugh in the pub, it's a mystery to me how they do it [ not dole bashing ] have been on the dole myself.

if you have no mortgage and you have a nixer and the dole, you have the earning power of a full time worker,so you can afford a car /go to Lanza on Ryanair,etc,etc...
