Jamie93 57 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Just thought I'd put a little post up regarding getting a job. I'm 16 and want a job and i tried all the job agencies with no luck. So i wrote a letter explaining to possible employers that i want a job and my circumstances. I also wrote up a CV and printed of loads of both letters and CVs, put them into envelopes with a sticker on addressed to Personnel Mangager and posted a load to local businesses and what do you konw, I,ve got an interview on Monday . It's worked for me so there's no reason why it shouldn't work for you. Happy Hunting Jamie93 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shepp 2,285 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Congratulations, what sort of job are you going for mate. I think with things like they are youngsters could try and gain work experiance without pay, looks better on the CV than a big gap of nothing. Shepp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanRM 0 Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Nice one and good luck with your interview, I did the same printed out a load on CVs and letters, sent them to each Garage in my town looking for an apprenticeship. I wasn't lucky enough to get one, but I was able to get 2 days of unpaid work experience a week with 3 different Garages. Been doing it for 6 months now and things seem hopeful for next years enrolment (even if its 10 months away). Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
