Retail part time jobs

Hi, I have been applying to retail/warehouse jobs since a levels finished. I applied to nearly 100 jobs but I still haven't got any. Does anyone have any tips? Is there any company that take entry level candidates that do not have connections.

Warehouse wise, it might be worth trying the agencies, you may get somewhere with starting on the agencies.
Retail wise- how about fast food places?

I think you have to be at least 18 to work in a warehouse......
Yeah agencies would be probably a better option for trying to find work quicker than the normal applications for retailers etc.

Yeah you do have to be 18 (i work in one so i know). But seeing as the OP said that they had finished their a-levels, id assume that they are 18.

There's a lot of different agencies, and there's different agencies in different parts of the country. So there would be different ones where you live to where I live. If you do a Google search on agencies in your area. And look up reviews on them to get an idea of what they are like.
