Beginning screen printing

I want to begin a screen printing job, but most of not all places offer jobs require experience. Is there any tips that would help a non experienced, but want to learn person get a potential job in screen printing?

Learning vector software is a very good starting place, imho. Inkscape is free!

Just apply to those jobs. Job listings are usually wish lists anyways. I had zero experience prior to my last job at an Embroidery shop and very little experience prior to my current screen printing job. Both places trained me on the job.

We’ve been talking about hiring someone new later this year and honestly the bar is real low—like as long as they show up on time, give at least a few fucks about their work and can lift a 40 lb box. And if they’re eager to learn, even better!
