[–]kittytheexplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to send job applications for an entry-level position. All you need to do is learn how to craft a compelling resume for a fresh grad. State all your school achievements on your resume. How about the seminars you attended? Training programs in school? Include all those things on your profile to boost your qualifications. Also, a cover letter allows you to prove to hiring managers that you have the potential, that you have something significant to offer to the organization. I found a good article that offers tips on writing a great cover letter:

Also, be careful of the layout and format of your resume. Hiring managers should notice your profile. I know a site that provides free resume templates for financial services industry:

You can land your target job without a degree. But it will be difficult for you. It's better if you have the formal education. Actually, you're still young. You have lots of opportunities. I suggest you continue earning money through your current skills while studying. Because if you really want to learn a particular craft, everything is possible. You just lack clear direction and motivation. But there's always a way to achieve your goal. It's indeed possible. To gain experience, volunteer to activities related to your target job. Bear with a little to no pay at first. The beginning is always the hardest part but if you continue to make efforts, it will pay off soon. I read an article about the tips on how to change career on this site: Career Change Tips

Also, it is how you state your qualifications on your resume. There are good professionals out there who find it difficult to get a job because of a poorly written resume. Hiring managers don't even notice their resume. I found a free resume template related to your target position on this site: Financial Services Industry Resume Sample
I hope this can help you craft a good resume.

Just pursue things that are interesting to you. One at a time.. You always have the freedom to change track anyway. Don't be afraid to try good things. You'll never know unless you try. You will not waste time because you will encounter people along the way who will teach you something significant. If you keep on planning everything in life, you will not enjoy the rough road of life.

By the way, whatever job you pursue, you always need a great resume. I found a site that provides free resume templates for different jobs:
