I'm 19. I have completed A-Levels (ok the grades aren't that great at CCD, but my GCSE's are good). My jobs before have been at a children's play barn, a clerical assistant at a chicken factory, and a nanny. So, all taught me good skills.
For the summer I'm applying at shops. Clothes shops. I'll apply at some cafés too. But I'm getting no replies. I'm ringing up, followed by walking in with my CV. The same thing happened last summer too. I thought it would be pretty easy as I live in a university city, so all the employed uni students will be disappearing now. What can I do if I can't get into something as simple as retail!? I'm desperate as I'm actually penniless atm, and have uni next year to get prepared for (I've not said on my CV I'll be leaving in September, but I have been asking for a "summer job").
Are there any tips to make me stand out? Or any ideas of jobs that will take me?
Thanks in advance!
