I have A-Level Maths, Further Maths and Physics and I'm going to look for a job. Since I expect I will struggle to find one given the recession I want to apply for something where my A-Levels will give me an advantage.

I have heard that accountancy or game design would be a good bet but just about every job out there needs 'experience' which I only have in oven cleaning, working in a craft shop as work experience at school and helping teaching very very basic maths to adults.

Basically any ideas on what jobs I would have greater chances given I have good A-Level results in these subjects. Thanks

I think in general the easiest way by far to get work is to work in hospitality - places are usually always looking for bar staff and kitchen staff. I always found it incredibly difficult getting something relevant to what I was doing. Maybe someone else has had better luck than me!

Is it not a bit too early to be looking for jobs like game design and accountancy? What's wrong with going to Uni?
More or less, your A-levels are about the minimum -- even some people with degrees don't have an "advantage".

I am going to university next year.

The best advice I can give is to find an agency that offers such jobs, and to make some agent's life a bit more difficult.
Game jobs seem to require a lot of experience, but if you are lucky (and insistent) enough you may find something suitable.

In my opinion, most agents like well written CVs, and confident people that know exactly what they want.
