Really ? I remember back when I was doing A-levels it was pretty chill. I did modular exams though. (this was 3 - 4 years ago)

What's your previous work experience like? You can always volunteer somewhere to put it on your CV if you've got loads of time on your hands.

I have been advised against putting my previous work experience or occupation down because it seems to 'prestigious' to get a job in retail.

Go to the gym, learn a language, play video games, watch box sets, go out with your friends, sun bathe, read, get a job or learn a new hobby.

Non relevant experience is better than a completely empty cv.

What was your previous job? I'd say put it on your CV anyway. With retail you just have to keep applying to a tonne of places.

I've worked as a nurse in a dental clinic, and I am a current 4th year dental student.
If I mention that I am a year 4th year dental student, no one would hire me because they know once I graduate I'm quitting the retail job.

I am absolutely amazed this thread has been up for so long and nobody has said 'masturbate'.

Chat has changed. :colondollar:

Take up a new hobby something that you've never had much time to do before. Read lots of books. Enjoy being free with nothing to do, do whatever you want, whenever you want and make sure to enjoy it while it lasts.
