16 year old needs a job

Type up a CV and covering letter for lots of different types of jobs (waitress, shop assisistant etc) and go around town handing them out anywhere that will accept one, giving each place one tailored to the type of job you would get there. If you have no luck then go to the job centre or try temping agencies to see if they will take you on.

Try paper shops to see if they have paper rounds, go to local businesses to see if they need flyers handing out. Advertise in your local paper and corner shop windows for your services as a dog walker/ babysitter etc.

You could even e-bay or have a car boot sale for some old school books, clothes and anything you don’t want, to raise a bit of cash.

In the meantime try and go to charity shops and other places to do some volunteer work. It will keep you busy and look great on your CV. Ss you are volunteering anyway then it is esy to quit if you find a real job :) good luck, your persistance will pay of in the end.
