OK you don't get an interview so you need to look at your CV again and see if it can be improved on. Are your realistically looking for jobs that you qualify for or are you putting you sights too high at present.


Also don't take it personally either - there are a lot of people loosing their jobs at present because the economic climate is so bad.


Try going to the job centre. They are really helpful. Not only can they help you find a job but can offer you courses to improve your skills and may also be able to help with your CV. Congratulations by the way at being a responsible young person willing to get out their and work. The right job is there waiting for you I can promise you that. So don't despair and keep on knocking on them doors til one opens. Good Luck
Reply:"Mr Wizard" i just finished year 10 as well, and i have been working as a waiter earning 20 an hour for over 6 months now, so don't say she cant get a job just because shes young





You can get a job, just not at high company's etc, you'll have to start down low, like at McDonalds or some other fast food restaurant like that





By the sounds of it your studying for a particular thing, which you haven't mentioned here, but what you should do is stay with this fast food job or whatever until you have finished your study in what you are doing, and then apply for a job in that industry





And lastly, for my job, i didn't even have to go for an interview or anything they just hired me, look around and trust me you will find a job somewhere





Hope this helps
Reply:what kind of jobs are you applying for?


seeing as you don't get to the interview stage your weakness would be your resume and application letter.





I suggest you take up a course to learn how to write a very good resume. Go to a bookstore and look for a book called the Idiots Guide to a Perfect Resume or Idiots Guide to a Perfect Career.





You also need to look at what you want to be. 16 is young so make sure your level of education would suit the type of career you are aiming for.





Good luck

That would be your problem right there.


Continue on with your education and more prospects will open up.
Reply:people wont hire you since you are inexperienced and they will find you too young. m advice would be to either stay at school or go to a college hop it helps :)
