I'm not so sure about that - but what kind of summer job are you looking for? What skills do you have? What are you studying?

Retail or waitress, I just don’t want smth that’s midnight work. The only experience I have is volunteering at bhf as a shop floor assistant along with online experiences

Thanks, that’s helpful! Since you're looking for retail or waitressing without late-night shifts, I'd suggest checking out agencies like Indeed Flex, Coople, and Arc Hospitality. They’re great for students and let you filter for daytime or short shifts, so you can avoid anything overnight. You might also find opportunities on StudentJob.co.uk or even Gumtree, though always be cautious and avoid anything that sounds off.
You’ve already got relevant experience from your BHF volunteering — that’ll go a long way when applying. I'd also recommend walking into local shops, cafĆ©s, or restaurants with a one-page CV — especially in central or busy parts of London.
If you need a quick and simple CV template, you can grab one for free at:

•

canva.com (search ā€œCV templateā€)

•

prospects.ac.uk (student-focused advice and examples)

•

microsoft Word or Google Docs (search in their template libraries)

Good luck!!!

Hello. Well, it's a real website, if that is what you are asking. I can't help you with knowing if the advert for the position you applied for was a scam or not, I'm afraid. Do you have the business contact details? Why not go there and ask?
