Looking for a job without GCSEs

I turned 16 earlier this month and I am thinking about applying for a seasonal job for the Christmas period, but I’m scared because I haven’t had a job before (or any work experience) and I haven’t sat my GCSEs yet. Any advice?
Unfortunately, as your in Year 11 you cannot apply for a job at places like Tesco, Argos or Sports Direct as you've not finished compulsory high school. So it is best to do paper rounds or volunteer for some charity work.

Okay, thank you!
