Aim for part time jobs and temporary position at first. You can physically hand in your CV(usually works quicker). Good luck.

As you are 17 years old I would prefer using Indeed and maybe sending your CV around and maybe checking your CV checked by someone an a professional. Since you are 17 and some jobs require you to be adult and this is a problem in the UK. I hope you find a good job and Good Luck.

Look on websites such a as indeed.com.
Also look on companies own websites. Some companies- e.g. Tesco, McDonald's etc require you to apply on the careers section of their websites.
Also look in shop/cafe/restaurant windows for adverts.

i feel you! although i don’t have much advice because i haven’t been very successful either, im wishing you luck!
it’s so frustrating how companies don’t want to hire under 18s, and i totally get it, but at the same time they could save so much, i would be fine with minimum wage TT.
