7 Tech Jobs You Can Get With No Experience

As a job hunter, chances are, 6 out of 9 times, you come across your dream job but you do not apply.

Why? Because the job listing finds a way to discourage you with the “5 years of experience” requirement even when you meet the skill requirement. This scenario is most common among people who are in what the workforce call the “no work experience”category.

It is important to note that having “no experience” is very different from “not having the skill”. Therefore, to consider yourself fit for any position means you must have ensured that your skillset matches the job’s requirement.

Although many may think it’s impossible and that the only way to an entry-level job position is through internships, a good number of people have testimonies of being able to cop themselves a well-paying job with literally 0 years of working experience.

Today, tech jobs are becoming more open to non-experienced prospects because these jobs are mostly skill-based rather than experience-based. This means you may have to worry less about getting your first job if it’s tech-inclined.

So, Here Are 7 Jobs that would accept you today just as you are along with its basic requirements and salary for an entry-level position:
