Question

I'm studying mathematics

Answer 1

Go to the job centre. Maybe you are being too fussy. There are loads of jobs out there if you are not fussy. McDonalds are alwasy hiring, as well as loads of kitchen porter jobs

Answer 2

Do they have a place in your town that answers the phones for doctor's, etc.? My granddaughter goes to college and she has been working at this place called Hello. They also have beepers for people in general and nurses. Her hours are flexible with her classes at the college. She works 3 p.m to 11 p.m, 3 or 4 days a week. She pays for all of her classes and books. Now, she's gotten an apartment near the college.
Or maybe you can find a telemarketing job that takes orders over the phone for big companies. We have one in my town that answer phones for J C Penney's, Avon and others. I used to work there part time. Jobs like these are decent work where you don't have to be on your feet all the time.
Good luck.

Answer 3

Get an IT (information technology) skill in addition to your Mathematics so that when you are ready for the labour market you would have an edge over your peers in the labor market.I also read Mathematics like you, getting a job after graduation was impossible then i enrolled for an IT programme, precisely Cisco networking program, and today I am working as an IT professional. To God be the glory.

Answer 4

Umm Job centre? Endless career sites on the web? Numbers might be your thing but common sense surely ain't kiddo..

Answer 5

Try harder. Sorry to sound facetious but there are loads of jobs available. Maybe you need to be broader about what you are willing to do.
