No job will hire me ffs - HELP

Don't know what to do, (in North West London)
How old are you and are you planning to go to uni this year?

I have tried applying to jobs and have been rejected from all of them before even getting to interview so I kind of know how you feel.

Nah im 16, but I need a job during 6th form. I think the most annoying bit it that they don't give feedback for ur application

I have been avoiding food establishments because I don't think I would be able to cope with them, so mainly retail places. Are you adjusting your CV to show why you have chosen to apply to that place, rather than a generic CV?
