how did you get that with no experience?raced there a couple of times... asked for work experience 1 week, worked like train. They called me back offered me a job.
Was a huge building with loads of karts, was fun when there were no customers had loads of races (Staff only) and water fights with the jet wash etc that they use to wash the formula Renault racing cars (the manager owned a racing team from karts to single seaters and karts).
Thanks to that job, got loads of contacts in the Motorsport scene, now race rotaxs at buckmore park for free. Also found out about a championship for school students between the ages of 13-18 'british karting championship' as they had an event whilst i was doing work exp will. I will be joining this year championship representing my college in 1 week, probz get owned future formula 1 drivers (rich kids) will be my opponents xD

I tried to see the 'funny' side of it!
My first job was mooching off my parents. My salary was erratic, yet the work was really quite easy.

Original post by Lauren Pen How did you harass the manager? 
How did you harass the manager? I just kept following him around the salon telling him how amazing I would be if he gave me a job, and that he'd be making a mistake by not hiring me.. Did the trick
Nearly 21 and still looking for someone willing to employ me.
So depressing looking at all the responses saying 16-17. How did you guys actually find these vacancies? :/

Aged 15 working in Boots I got paid £6.45 an hour. The only reason I got it was because my mum worked there, I hated it because I had to stand up all day and I'd had a skiing accident and a car accident (?!!?!) in the month before I got the job so I had pretty bad back problems which I still have to this day. Manager wouldn't provide me with something to sit on (recommended by a doctor) so I quit so someone else could have the job.
Edit: why the hell did I get negged for this?! FFS....
