How to get a job at 16 years old in London?

Hi so basically I’ve been applying to places through indeed but mostly through company websites since like last Summer and I have not heard back from a single one, so I’m just kinda wondering what I need to do. I think my CV is pretty decent, it is about a page long and i avoided having too many large chunks of text, I used subtitles to make it easier to skim through etc, I also have work experience at a charity shop and also at john lewis & talked about how they helped me develop skills such as teamwork, communication, enthusiasm etc. I’m just so tired of applying to so many places just to get aired lol.

What sort of work are you looking for? If it's retail, have you tried going in to stores and leaving your CV with a manager? Many don't list part time vacancies on job sites and the personal touch sometimes makes a difference. It sounds like you have thought about your CV and that it's well laid out. I hope it goes well.
