Job suggestions?

Hi,
I'm eighteen and have just finished exams, so I've got about three months until university. I'm looking to get a job in that time, and I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestion as to what to apply for. The only things really coming to my mind is working in a fast food outlet or a supermarket, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any slightly different opportunities?
Thanks very much :smile:

Generally, retail or restaurants are the best options because it's easier to be trained.

If you have excellent computer skills you may be able to find something in admin or as a receptionist. This would be easier if you have any IT qualifications.

Not many employers will get through the employment process and get you started if you are leaving in 3 months - it's not worth it. Look for specifically seasonal jobs that have a peak in staff numbers in the summer months - ie tourist/event roles.
Go through an agency, they'll have short term work.
