Hi /adv/
Anyone here has ever applied for a job despite having no experience nor the formation for it ?
I have quite some work experience (in Communications) but I'd like to change my career path. Unfortunately, I can't afford any school, university or training at the moment (recently unemployed).
Do you think it's doable by just applying for a junior position ? (I'm looking at Data Analyst or Database Administrator) I'm definitively looking forward learning by myself if possible.
If you have any tips or any story to share, that'd be most welcome ! Thanks
tl;dr : How to reach a job without having the formation, the requirement and/or the experience ?

You have to prove to them that you can do the job. If you can't do it through your CV then find another way.

I know, I haven't been making bright decisions these past years... it pays well though.

Could be a thing but it implies learning the job before, kind of no ?

Look for the keywords "technician" or "trainee" when looking for jobs. Those will usually get you in without experience or education.

If you can't do the job why would you even want to apply for it. What do you think will happen on your first day of work when you have no idea what to do.
Either you can do it, then find a way to prove. Or you can't do it then you have to look for trainee positions.

Thanks anon, I'll look for that.

I understand, it makes sense indeed. I was supposing that for junior position, some training could be helping maybe. I'm already looking for the requirement I need to learn.
