Job hunting
What are the best websites and methods to finding a job? I don't have any skills and I only obtained a high school diploma.

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
I'm in the process of looking for a job myself, and I found a website (indeed.com) that posts job listings. It's a good website, maybe you should check it out, maybe you'll also have some luck!

Workopolis is pretty fantastic. The jobs posted are all reputable (unlike Craigslist) and you can post your resume.
Many companies won't advertise externally for jobs. For large companies, you can usually find an application form on their website. For smaller companies, drop by the location and ask to leave a resume.
If nobody's biting because you don't have past experience, it's time to get some! If you're not working now, it's a perfect time to do some volunteer work. Volunteering isn't all soup kitchens and litter pickup. You can get great office experience with a lot of charities or non profits, and your volunteer work will net you some fantastic references.
Many communities have job search assistance available. They can help you refine your resume, practice some interview skills and help point you in the right direction. If you're not sure where to look for this, try calling your local YMCA. They often have involvement in this sort of program.

Sweetie, before you go online and search. your best bet is to actually visit the job then if they say you have to apply online have a notecard or something to write down the website, ask for the manager's name, and the number to the place because after you apply call within a week and check up on your application STRAIGHT-FROM the hiring manager themselves.

I wouldn't recommend looking for a job through a website, Many of them are outdated. If you are seeking a job I suggest picking up the local paper and looking in the help wanted section or job section.
Either that or go out and grab applications. Sometimes when a business is not hiring you can still get your application in the company and when a position becomes available they will give you a call. Doesn't hurt to try
