Hey, you! Yeah, you the one who just finished 10th grade or maybe waved goodbye to school a while back. I see you wondering what’s next. Trust me, I’ve been there. The moment I got my 10th pass certificate, I felt like I’d climbed a mountain… only to realize there was a whole new one waiting: finding a job. No degree, no big connections just me, some grit, and a need to make some money. If that’s where you’re at, pull up a chair. I’m going to walk you through my story, the jobs I’ve seen, and what I’ve learned about private job vacancies for folks like us. No fancy stuff here just the real deal.
The Day I Decided to Work
I still remember the summer after my 10th exams. My mom was on my case about studying more, but I wasn’t feeling it. College felt like a distant dream too much time, too much money we didn’t have. My older brother, Deepak, was already working at a shoe store, coming home with cash and stories about his day. I wanted that. Not the shoe part necessarily, but the independence. So, I made up my mind: I’d find a private job. No waiting for some government exam lottery I needed something now.
My First Gig: Chaos and Lessons
My first job wasn’t glamorous. A neighbor hooked me up with a small grocery shop down the street. My role? Stock shelves, carry bags for customers, and sweep up at closing. Pay was ₹7,000 a month peanuts, right? But when you’re 16 and your only expense is a phone recharge, it felt like a fortune. The owner, Mr. Sharma, was this grumpy old guy who’d yell if I stacked the rice bags wrong. But he also showed me how to count change fast and spot fake notes. I lasted six months before I quit too much yelling but that gig taught me I could handle work, even if it wasn’t perfect.

What Jobs Are Out There?
After that, I started paying attention. What else could a 10th pass guy like me do? I talked to friends, watched what people were up to, and even eavesdropped on chai stall gossip. Turns out, private jobs for us are everywhere if you know where to look. Here’s what I’ve seen:
- Shop Jobs
Stores big or small need people. Cashiers, helpers, stock boys. My brother’s still in retail, now at a bigger chain, making ₹18,000. He started like me, carrying boxes. You don’t need much just show up on time and don’t mess up too bad. Pay’s usually ₹8,000-12,000 to start. - Delivery Work
This one’s exploded lately. My friend Vikram rides for a food delivery app. He’s out there zooming around on his bike, dropping off biryani and burgers. Says he pulls in ₹14,000-16,000 with tips. Companies like Zomato or even local kirana stores need riders. All you need is a bike (or borrow one) and a license. No license? Some warehouses take packers instead hard work, but steady cash.
- Factory Life
If you’re near factories think textiles, plastics, or auto parts they’re always hiring. I tried it once, helping load boxes at a packaging unit. Pay was ₹11,000, plus overtime if you stayed late. It’s sweaty and loud, but you learn fast, and the money’s decent. - Office Helper
Ever heard of a peon or office boy? That’s an option. My cousin got a job running errands for a small lawyer’s office fetching tea, filing papers. He’s at ₹9,000 now, and they’re teaching him basic computer stuff. Data entry’s another one if you can type a little. - Food and Hotels
Restaurants need waiters, dishwashers, or kitchen hands. I worked at a dhaba for a bit crazy hours, but the free meals were a perk. Pay’s around ₹8,000-10,000, and tips can add up if you’re in a busy spot.
How I Found These Jobs
Finding work wasn’t always easy. That grocery job came from a neighbor, but after that, I had to hustle. Here’s how I’ve tracked down gigs and how you can too:
- Ask Around: Tell everyone you’re looking. My cousin’s office job came from his uncle’s friend. People like helping if you’re serious.
- Hit the Streets: I’d walk into shops with a smile and ask, “Need any help?” Got rejected a lot, but a hardware store said yes once. Took guts, but it worked.
- Ads and Apps: Local papers have job listings check the back pages. Online, I’ve used Quikr and Naukri. Search “10th pass jobs” and scroll. Takes time, but you’ll find something.
- Friends in the Game: Vikram tipped me off about delivery openings. If your buddies are working, ask them to keep an eye out.
What They Want From You
Here’s the thing: private jobs don’t care about your 10th marks. I barely passed math, and nobody’s ever asked. They want you to show up, do the job, and not complain too much. At the dhaba, the owner liked that I didn’t argue when he asked me to clean tables after a rush. Hard work beats a certificate any day. If you can talk to people or lift stuff without grumbling, you’re golden. Knowing a bit of English or how to use a phone app helps, but it’s not a dealbreaker.
The Ups and Downs
Let’s be real private jobs have highs and lows. The high? Cash in your pocket fast. I loved that first paycheck bought my mom a dupatta and still had enough for a movie. You can grow too Deepak’s proof of that. The low? Some jobs suck at first. Long hours, rude bosses, no holidays sometimes. I got fired from the dhaba after arguing with a cook not my finest moment. And security? It’s shaky. Factories can shut down, shops can let you go. But if you’re smart, you keep moving.
My Big Break (Sort Of)
After bouncing around, I landed something steady a warehouse job packing electronics. Pay’s ₹13,000 now, and I’ve been there a year. It’s not fancy I’m taping boxes and stacking them but the supervisor says I could move up to inventory if I learn the system. It’s not my forever plan, but it’s a win for now. Took a lot of trial and error to get here, and I’m still figuring it out.
Stuff I Wish I Knew Sooner
Looking back, I’ve picked up some tricks. If you’re starting, here’s what I’d tell you:
- Don’t Be Picky Early: That grocery job wasn’t fun, but it got me going. Take what you can and build from there.
- Watch and Learn: Every job’s got lessons. The warehouse taught me how to organize; the dhaba showed me how to deal with grumpy people.
- Stash Some Cash: I spent too much early on. Save a bit it’s a lifesaver when jobs dry up.
- Talk to Bosses: Ask how to do better. My warehouse supervisor likes that I’m curious it’s why he’s eyeing me for a bigger role.
- Keep Options Open: Don’t get stuck. I’m always checking what’s out there, even now.
What’s Hot Right Now
Things have shifted since I started. Delivery’s king everyone’s ordering online, so riders and packers are in demand. Retail’s fighting back with more staff to keep shops alive. And factories? They’re busy, especially near cities. I’ve noticed more ads wanting basic computer skills too not mandatory, but it’s a bonus. Vikram says his app job got easier once he learned to track orders on his phone. World’s changing, but there’s still plenty for us.
You’ve Got This
If you’re feeling lost, I get it. I stood in my room after 10th, staring at that certificate, thinking, “What now?” But here’s the truth: you don’t need to know everything. Just start. Walk into a shop, call a friend, check an ad. My first job was a mess, but it led me here. You’ll stumble, sure I did plenty but you’ll find your footing.
So, where you at? Got a job in mind? Let me know I’m rooting for you. For now, take that first step. It’s scary, but it’s yours.
