Here’s the deal: I’m going to walk you through two powerful steps that can help you find the right job — even if you have no experience — and do it in less time.
If your resume doesn’t include the experience required for the roles you’re applying to on job boards, then chances are… you’re not getting interviews. Sound familiar?
After pouring hours into applications and getting zero responses, it probably feels like you’ve hit a wall. I’ve been there too.
First Step: Stop scouring job boards and start focusing on getting face-to-face with managers in the industry you want to work in.
So how do you do that? Begin by writing down the names of people you already know who are in — or connected to — your target industry. Then, instead of telling them you’re looking for a job, ask them for career advice. Specific, thoughtful advice.
Why? Because people love to give advice. Asking for it is like a secret key that unlocks doors you once only dreamed of walking through.
Here are three major benefits of shifting your approach from asking for a job to asking for advice:
First: 🧠 Insightful intel — you’ll get access to insider knowledge about job opportunities from managers who know what’s coming before it’s posted online.

Second: You’re going to get exposure — specifically to your talents — using a powerful one-pager called the Career Outline. This tool helps managers identify roles tailored to your unique profile.
Third: Your confidence, which has probably taken a hit thanks to endless job boards, is about to bounce back. Big time. Why? Because you’re going to take control of your job search instead of anxiously waiting behind a screen for opportunities to land in your inbox.
Now, let’s rewind a bit. The first step is asking for advice — and together, these three steps give you major wins to land a job even without experience. Make sense?
Alright, moving forward to the second step: the Career Outline. You might think that in an advice meeting, you should bring a resume. Wrong. Your resume probably doesn’t reflect the experience needed for your target role. I’ve been in that exact position. That’s why I used this one-pager to shift the conversation — from what I didn’t have in terms of experience, to what I did have in skills, interests, and preferences for my work environment.
By changing what I shared with hiring managers, I shifted their perspective. Instead of showing them what I lacked using a traditional resume, I showed them what I had in abundance. This shift allowed them to see my potential, and doors opened to opportunities I was previously considered “unqualified” for on job boards.
Now you can unlock more job offers using this exact same strategy.
Final Thoughts:
Finding a job without experience doesn’t mean settling — it means shifting the strategy. By asking for advice instead of a job, showcasing your skills through a Career Outline, and reclaiming control of your job search, you’re setting yourself apart in a sea of resumes. This proactive approach can be particularly effective, even when considering a walk-in interview in Dubai.
You’re not just chasing opportunities — you’re creating them.
So, step away from the job boards. Get face-to-face. Change the conversation. And watch your confidence — and career — transform.
