can anybody help
im looking for a job and its tough as im only 16 so i was just wondering if anyone knew of anywhere thats taking on for part time service.
no specific job title as i could vary what i do
any help or advise would be great, thanks.

Ask in restaurants and pubs near where you live. Or go to Connexions near the golden gates, they have quite a lot from what I've heard...
If you haven't already, write a CV and send it off to job websites.
Good luck!

do a bit of research in jobs where you have an interview so you can impress with doing some homework

also do not rule yourself out doing any hours for anyone
always be smart promte for interview visit the place if poss first

for big firms find out who is charge of HR and address the application to them

i had to rule out a dozen applicatants today for a vacancy at work for a parttime job due to them saying they could not work this or that day

If you're going to send a CV in (which is a good idea) then make sure that it's no more than 2 pages, is printed on clean A4 paper in black and white and doesn't contain any spelling mistakes or typos. Nothing says 'I'm lazy and I cut corners' than a crap CV.

Good luck.

It has been particulary advertised, but, there is a bloke, Gideon Osborne, who is desperate for all the assistance he can get.

Apart from Purple Alki try KFC, BK, McD's or your local supermarket

Go and register with some high street agencies like Prime Time, BrookStreet, Addecco and Manpower

Just ask around, knock on builders yards or warehouses (lesser known companies) offer to sweep their yards or be a general dogsbody/gopher.

I had a cracking weekend job that kept me fit at 16, i asked around on the Trident Ind est at Risley. There was an office furniture company there and i would sweep around on the Saturday and demolish returned furniture with a sledgehammer to fit in the skips on the Sunday. Loved it, better than any gym that was.

Be confident and just ask every company you can physically find as well as leave them a CV.

My wife had a CV in recently from a person applying for a role as in-house legal advisor (solictor) to join her team.

She claimed one of her strongest points was "an attention to detal".

Maybe she was being ironic/funny? If so hire her on the spot. If not...probably best leave it.

I love things like that. It's a bit like people who say they are 'proffessional' in everything they do.

My fiance had an email request recently from someone looking for journalism work experience on the paper where he works. 4 paragraphs, no fewer than 27 spelling/grammar mistakes. An absolute belter. I think they've framed it.

This has been more help than school offers! Thanks a bunch guys! Its been a lot of help

She should have at least had the applicant in for an interview just to check whether its her paperwork or her teeth that are immaculate.

That was from Buttons, wasn't it?
