What is the quickest way to find a job in the nursery without qualifications?

Question

I have a year of experience in Montessori Nursery.

Currently I am not employed and hunting for a new opportunity.

Two weeks of sending calling and looking for a job in the nursery and nothing! Is that not a right time, or what else?

Why without holding any experience I could do that easy and now it starts to seem impossible.

Maybe you know how to help me?

Answer 1

volunteer at SureStart

Answer 2

In my area (South Wales) there are far more highly qualified people than there are jobs. I had a one-to-one (supporting a single child with medical and educational needs - basically the most lowly paid member of a school's support staff) working in my classroom this year who is a qualified nursery nurse. If you're serious about wanting to work with young children, you'll need to be qualified.

Answer 3

There is no quick way. No one is going to hire you over someone who is qualified. Go to college like the rest of us have to do! I wouldn't even consider trying to get a job before I have finished my training

Answer 4

Nowadays it is seems to be necessary to have a bit of paper to show you can do any job no matter how menial and unskilled the job might be and I would hardly call looking after someone else's young children an unskilled menial job!!

I think your only real chance unless you are very lucky is to try volunteering-if they'll have you-and see if that leads to a paid job. Alternatively try going to college for a couple of years and join the thousands of qualified nursery nursery nurses who can't find a job.

Answer 6

You will need a criminal background check or in Scotland - Disclosure Scotland, before you can legally work with kids, it costs around £20

Answer 7

there are thousands who committed to college and left in july with qualifications looking for employment! why do you think you should be employed over them? go and get trained and nvq is best not montesorri

Answer 8

A year of experience working in a center is a plus, but most places look for a minimum of 6 early childhood college units before they hire someone- especially in a competitive environment.  There is no national standard however that says that you MUST have a minimum of 6 units, it is up to each centers' discretion.  But, many centers are moving towards requiring at least a minimal education for their staff.  Get some education behind your experience to offer a better presentation for employers.  In the meantime, write a remarkable resume listing your experience and the qualities you possess that would make you a valuable employee (such as; ready to learn, any special skills you may have, easy to work with, love children, dependable, patient, flexible, like to take on responsibility, any special certificates or training in child development you may have had- CPR classes, good with computers/writing reports, cheerful, compassionate, and any special behaviors you have worked with- children with disabilities/behavior disorders etc.)  A well-written resume can really make the difference when employers are looking at potential employees, so make your first impression a professional one.  Also, make sure to fill out every application fully and in complete, cohesive sentences.  Employers often throw out applications that are incomplete, missing information, or not well-written.  Your application and resume are a reflection not only of your level of education, but of your professionalism, your ability to follow directions, your grasp of the primary language, and your dedication to doing a good job and impressing them.  Make yourself an employee that any employer would be a fool to pass up!!

Answer 9

I know it is not lucrative to volunteer but without qualifications you will have to prove your stuff.  I have staff who have volunteered at my center and I have been so happy with their work that I hired them and helped them get the training they need.  It is difficult in the child care world to get hired because there is so much administrators have to ensure about their employees.  Training and qualificationsa are important in more ways than one.

Answer 10

In my area that local private preschool and the public headstart/Pre-k programs are always looking for substitute teachers. Once you get your foot in the door so to speak you have a better chance of getting a full time job if one should come available.

Answer 11

Fight for it, kiddie.

Answer 12

private nurseries are always advertising-and youve only been looking for 2 weeks? get yourself a phone book and ring all the nurseries asking if they have any vacancies coming up-other than that you will have to do voluntary somewhere im afraid-they should snatch your hand off plus youve got a far better chance of a job after either with them or elsewhere
