Hi @Ozay ,

If it is for CV purposes have you considered volunteering?

If you have had interviews or places that have read your application, have you been able to ask for or been given feedback? There is no harm in asking for feedback as it may help future applications.

One thing I have also seen is people posting a bit about themselves, their skillset and what kind of job they are looking for on local Facebook groups (especially younger people looking for summer work or even small businesses looking for people to work on these local groups).

I hope this helps and good luck! Job search is long and tedious, you are not alone in that feeling.

email/ hand out your cv to local businesses cafes/restaurants/shops/garden centres to name a few. One off shops are more likely to hire people with little to no experince but you'll probably get paid minimum wage. Alternatively look on company websites they may only hire from their own website. Fast food chains tend to take on students. You could try and get a volunteering role to build your cv. Getting a first job is hard I know I ended up applying to about 80 jobs just to get one but you'll get something at some point. If you've got the opportunity see if a family member can get you a job somewhere maybe they own a small business or know someone who does

Try fast food places (especially mcdonalds). They take on a lot of students. Look on the careers section of their website for vacancies.
