ebosgramma asked:


I have two children ages 21 and 27 who have never had to work before due to having received money from an accident settlement a few years ago. They suddenly find themselves unable to get hired for even entry level positions, they just want the basic $8 an hour unskilled labor job nothing fancy but without the work references that most young people get in their teens and early twenties they are having no luck getting hired anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions? What do they write on the job applications under previous employment? You cannot really write none or leave it blank. What kinds of places should they be applying at that will hire people without a work history?

    For them to year would be for them to college they spent any time is not factor would be better than nothing and references even six months to volunteer at community center or doing community center or doing community center or doing community.
    For them to volunteer at community work they might even find the experience and references from.
