Title: Looking For A Job


Salop - April 12, 2010 11:21 AM (GMT)
Ive registered to this forum because I have been looking for a job and have be unsuccessful recently due to no openings.

I think my main down fall is that I'm on 15.

If anyone knows where there is an opening can you let me know :D

Thanks in advance

Quite a minefield as you are still classed as a child. Please read THIS

Thanks for that. Its quite frustrating. Im ready to to work and earn some money of my own but alot of employers a wary about employing young teenagers. :mellow:

Understandable... you will also find they are cautious not just because of the legal reasons. You also want to consider that a lot of employers simply consider younger staff not to be as good and committed. The classic complaint been that of a lot of young, and here I include anything into the early twenties really, putting their social lifes before work... and generally signifigantly underperforming after a late night.

So you might want to take that into account, certainly, if you pull up that information, and come over as committed and enthusiastic, and maybe indicate a disinterest to going out drinking - you chances might increase.

In any case - good luck finding work!

You will have your day I am sure and it will be easier when you are sixteen.
Why not consider

A Car washing round
Window Cleaning
Grass cutting
Gardening
Odd Jobs?

I am sure your neighbours would help

GOOD LUCK.
