First find out what you are interested and doing, what your skills are, etc. Try a temp agency, they have placement tests and a variety of jobs so you can test the waters.

Yes you can, however, you might not have much choice.
Basically, you're qualifications may not be relevant now days. For example, employers expect to see GCSEs and A Levels, yet you may have O levels. They will ask for experience and you'll have none. It may be worthwhile taking a few courses, such as GCSE maths or english with an open university of some kind, just so you've got something to put down on paper.
Whilst you are doing so then you should easily be able to get a factory job, or shop work. It's better to get into the work force sooner rather than later. You could apply for an apprenticeship at a company, but, they prefer to employ younger people.

You have to believe in yourself that you'll be able to find a job somewhere. Regardles whether you have never worked before. I can provide you with a link if you are anywhere interested in working from home that requires absolutely no qualifications or experience. This is what I do and it cost me nothing to join. its worth a shot if you devote time and some effort into it. Good luck.

Set your target accordingly - ask yourself what you do best, what your qualifications are and what you enjoy doing.
Always bear in mind that prospecting employers would always be wary of the fact that you've not had a job at your age. Explain why this is honestly, and prove to him/her that you're worth them taking the risk.
Fingers crossed and good luck!

Even if you have never had paid employment, I'll bet you have worked. Think about what you have done, identify your skills and put together a resume. Share with people- getting to know people and letting them know is still a great way to get employment!
Good luck!

I was able to find a company which trains you to start your own business from home. You don't need any previous experience to do this business, just the ability to learn. Email me for more information if you are interested in finding out more about this company.

Try doing some voluntary work for a couple of months so you can put on your CV some experience in a working environment.
