I've gotten gigs here and there, but it took me a while before i actually got a full time job.

I think its partly because I am a 21 yo with no working experience in the US. I Got my CNA state licence about two months ago, and transformed my self into a shark for the past couple weeks on a job hunt. But, everywhere i applied to is giving me the "you need x amount of experience" when i follow up. And, " volunteering isn't counted as experience, you need payed experience." Where will i get this "payed" experience from? How do i start the cycle? Its so frustrating, but oh well.

The other thing is, its like if you don't know someone where you are applying to, its hell hard to get that job.

Example. my aunts friend got her CNA state licence a week before i did.

We applied to the same place in the same week.

My aunt's friend had a friend there, so within a week she got called, SHE HAD NO EXPERIENCE IN THIS FIELD.

2 months later, i called them. Their response, "we have alot of resumes now and they are on file, we will call you when we get to yours."

But i ant hating, i need a friend that can pull some strings for me too.

So here I am doing Real Estate, for now

Hope it wont be has hard getting a EMT job when i'm done with these classes.
