Top 10 No-Experience Jobs in Malta

You can create a CV that will catch a recruiter's eye even if you have no work experience. First, we recommend job seekers write about academic achievements: Internships and courses you have completed. This shows the potential employer that you are constantly learning and developing your personality through various trainings. The recruiter will also pay attention to applicants without work experience if they have previously attended master classes, participated in student organisations and helped out in voluntary organisations. Let's find out what skills you can mention in your CV and what no-experience jobs you can apply for in Malta.

Skills To Mention

When preparing a CV, you should mention the qualities that prove your prospects. It would be helpful if you also keep in mind that in any CV, regardless of work experience, the applicant's personal qualities should match the desired position. For example, when we hire couriers, we look especially for qualities such as a sense of responsibility. After all, a courier's duties include delivering on time, working with the app, following traffic rules, checking the payment and communicating competently with customers. Most importantly, the qualities you claim must correspond to reality. Deceptions will be revealed at the interview and will not work in your favour. It is better to mention a few personal qualities than to attribute non-existent qualities to yourself.  

1. The ability to learn quickly. To avoid a standard phrase, you can replace it with more atypical phrases: "open to new knowledge" or "interested in additional education". 
2. Initiative. To confirm this, consider the projects you organised at school or university.
3. Teamwork Another important quality most employers look for is the ability to work as a holistic team. But you should first decide this for yourself: Are you a real team player or prefer to complete tasks independently?
4. Other skills. You could mention the organisational skills you use in your private life, for example, organising a family event. Your creativity could come into play when helping your child create a school project. 

Unpaid Internship

You may need to start with an unpaid internship to gain some experience at the beginning. Some companies also look for internship applicants on their own and select the best graduates after they have passed a specific exam or completed, say, one year of education to invite them to work with them. If the unpaid internship is absolutely not an option for you, think of the film Pursuit of Happyness. In it, the main character is in a difficult financial situation but agrees to an unpaid internship in a solid company with the vague prospect of further employment. In the end, he becomes a successful entrepreneur.
