Secrets to Finding a Job

What advice would you give millennials who have no work experience outside of retail or fast food?

I think LinkedIn works well for certain fields such as IT and business. I wouldn't know from personal experience because I don't work in those fields. I've had a LinkedIn account for years, but I only keep it to stay connected to certain people. It has no value when applying to government jobs. I've also learned that resumes don't matter much when applying to government jobs. They're usually supplemental. Sometimes, there is no place to upload or send a resume. For those looking to work in the public sector, I would advise them to focus on knowing where to search for jobs, being able to pass any written and/or physical agility tests required, and developing interview skills.
