I am sure most people who traveled abroad to live, work or study have a lot to say about the job they did when they first came abroad. For me my first job abroad was a sales associate in a fashion store. After many interviews and rejection, a friend told me that I had to lie on my resume before I could get a job which I did and I got a job as a Sales Associate although I had to work and study at the same time.

Share you experience with your first job and how you came about it

My first job abroad was a teaching job.

Men, living in the UK, I've realized companies are not looking for the smartest graduates, they look for who can tell the tallest stories, and biggest lies.
A company advetises a graduate job specifically saying no experience needed. But during the assessments and interviews they ask, "tell me your experience dealing with a client", "tell me when you had a challenging time at work". I'm like. . Huh ?

But recently added some hot lies on my CV lol, my phone has been ringing with calls. But mostly Sales, Customer Care offers e.t.c. Which I'm not interested in.

But to the main question. My first job which I'm currently doing is a Consulting Internship, which I got by networking on LinkedIn.

Well first it's a paid internship not a job, which I got by adding personnels of companies I was interested in.
But you can get a job by adding random recruiters (as many as you can), and building your network. Recruiters normally say when they are hiring, and you should need to show intrest since your CV is your profile.

Mine was working as a CSR.
