Im nearly 18 years old and am really struggling to get a part time job. Im a really pleasant, reliable, trustworthy person, got 11 GCSES yet still cant find one! I want a bit of cash and some experience while im doing my defered year before I go to uni. I have no criminal record, done voluntary work theres basically nothing wrong with me so why cant I get a job but everyone else can!?
My mum said that some companies dont like people who are too smart. If they want someone for a fulltime permanant job, they wont employ anyone who wants to go to uni, so will basically leave them with no employee after a year. What's your take?
It just really irritates me that im one of the youths that wants to work! I will do practically any job, work anywhere for a bit of money because im not a lazy person who sits and moans 'I cant get a job' but doesnt try.. Im really trying and its a kick in the teeth because I want to go and study law, i've studied hard all my life to get good grades which I thought would get me a job but they are useless! It feels like im one of those really unlucky people!
