After being turned down for more than 50 jobs in the past nine months, Kirsty Connell has resorted to offering to work for free in order to gain the experience she needs to find full-time work.

While those on "the dole” are often vehemently condemned by society, Warwick woman Miss Connell said she desperately wanted the chance to earn her living.

She just needs someone to take her on.

"I don't want to sit on Centrelink for the next 40 years,” she said.

"I've applied for everything.

"I've handed out so many resumes but no one will give me a shot.”

As the mother of two young children, the 22-year-old said she thought potential employers saw her as not being flexible enough.

"Usually the interviewer will ask about my life and when I mention I have kids, it goes downhill from there,” she said.

"My oldest is in Prep and I have plenty of family who will babysit for me, so it's not an issue at all.

"I check the various websites and Facebook pages all day for new jobs, and anything I could do I apply for.”

At 15 Miss Connell began working in retail before an unplanned pregnancy a year later forced her to stop work.

Last year, after raising her children, she decided she needed to re-enter the workforce.

"I'm so tired of being at home all day,” Miss Connell said.

Miss Connell said she would work for free to show she was serious.

"I want to further myself and contribute to society,” she said.

"I want to find full-time work, and if I need to work for free to get the experience needed for that, then that's what I'll do.”

Miss Connell, who studied to get her responsible service of alcohol and gambling certificates said she didn't care if someone could only offer her half an hour a week.

"I'll take it, it's all experience,” she said.

"And I don't care what sort of work it is, just as long as I hopefully have something to go to everyday.

"I'm frustrated that I'm not being given the opportunity to prove myself.”

After posting a call out on the Warwick Jobs Facebook page in October last year, Miss Connell was contacted for catering and event work.

To date she has been asked to work twice, once at a Warwick Turf Club function in November and another at a wedding a few weeks ago.

"That's been really helpful and has given me some great experience, but I really want to find something permanent,” she said.

"A lot of places won't employ you without experience, but how do you get it without working?

"I've even been applying for jobs that don't require experience and still not having any luck.

"I'm busting to work and no one will give me a job.”

Miss Connell will have her P-plates soon and will begin applying for work in Stanthorpe and Toowoomba.

"I don't care if I have to commute to work,” she said.

"If that's what it takes to find a full time job then I'll do it.”
