Hello everyone, my first post here. First of all, I don't have a job, I've never worked (I'm 20 years old), and I have no idea how to go about getting my first job. What would you recommend? Do you have any tips on how to conduct myself in a job interview? Any advice on how to feel less anxious?

My first job was McDonalds. They had a hiring sign and I filled out an application. The interview such as it was was short and sweet, talking about how many hours I could work and when.

If you are 20 and looking for your first job, just know there are a lot of places hiring right now. I don’t think the interview process is likely to be painful or arduous.

And hey, once you’ve had the job, you can have that done and on your resume, right? :-)
