Answer 1

Ill start with telling you off - if you are writing to people asking for help finding a job, then please use real words - 'r' is not a word for example, where 'are' is. If your CV is written in 'text' short form of writing then that could be your problem.

Finding a job is a full time occupation, and going out sometimes to hand out CV's isnt enough - you need to go out OFTEN and give out your CV's, go back a week later to ask them if they have looked at them.

Imagine an employer, he gets your CV out of the blue and then hears nothing from you, that suggests you arnt really bothered working for him, but if you talk to him after that suggests you are wanting to work for them. After a reject ask them why you were, in a nice way, to get feedback to improve your CV.

Ignore putting your CV on job websites, just use them to browse for the vacancies, try the local job centre and papers (often the free ones are good).

Finally, I work on a rule of 10 - 10 CV's sent out and you get an interview, 10 interviews and you get a job offer.

Basically its hard work, but good luck

Answer 2

Its not Impossoblebut it will be hard Im 16 and basicly have the same problem Beause pople are loosing their Jobs your going against people that have proper experiance and GCSEs and above Make a CV and hand it into places Because you under 16 it will be alot harder though You could try Florists News paper round Babysitting Becuase of your age though it is alot harder sorry! Good luck!

Answer 3

Take a look at the Monster website or join some of your local agencies. Try your local newspaper and do a general search on the internet - you are bound to find something so good luck.

Answer 4

Suggest, with respect, you get your words spell checked. Poor spelling and grammar will deter employers, even if your first language is not English, you would need it polished up, particularly as the type of work you seek would require interaction with a lot of different people

Answer 5

Pop into your Job Centre
