A lot of people have no educational qualifications; however this does not mean that they can not find a job. You do not need qualifications to get a job; there are hundreds of jobs out there that do not require any qualifications.
But how do I write my CV, if I have no qualifications?
A lot of people ask me this question and I answer them saying "but you have skills"! Everybody has skills! So do not be shy to write your skills on your CV and also remember that you are never too old to study or to learn new things. Able to read and write is itself a skill, able to communicate is also a skill not only that but also able to learn quickly is also a big skill. And I can go on an on...
So you see qualifications is not everything, although having it facilitates a lot but that does not meant that you can not find a job with no qualifications. And also remember that there is no age limit to learn. There are hundreds of free courses out there such as: basic IT, literacy, innumeracy, NVQ, etc.
Once you complete these free courses they give a certificate which you can add on you CV. And many companies recognise these certificates.
Tip: If you having problems to find work because of lack of qualification then I suggest doing some volunteer work. Why? Because nowadays experience is more important then qualifications. You will be surprised to know that many graduates can not find work because of their lack of work experience. So if you have work experience with you, does not matter if it is volunteer work, it will give you a huge advantage on this competitive job market, specially to someone with no qualifications.
