I'm 17 and have been constantly looking for a job for a year!!?

Hi


I have been looking for a job for over a year now and i have given out over 900 C.VS. This is NO lie! I have applied online about 300 times and my C.V is posted on all english job sites! I have just finished college and i am a qualified Beauty therapist, i am also a model on the side. i have great key skills like ICT, reception duties and customer services. In my GCSES i got a B and 7 C'S. I also have got certificates in make-up and dermalogica (a beauty brand). So whats wrong with me. Ive had a professional look at my C.V and everything is fine and he said that i am applying for jobs well in my range! i dont get it. Does anybody have any advice im getting realy frustrated!

are you calling them back and asking about the status of your application? be really annoying/"persistant" and they may see that you seriously want the job


do you have any previous job experience?? even if it's something informal, or just from a past teacher, contact them and ask if they can write you a general letter of recommendation


use all the connections you have, friends and family, everyone, because for a lot of people, that's how they get their first job


good luck
Reply:Well, are you sure you're applying for jobs in your range? For instance, you have only GCSEs (and not very good ones at that) but have posted this in a section called Higher Education (University +). If you think your qualifications are at this level, I'm afraid you are sadly mistaken. Take another look at the level of jobs you are applying for - if they are for university level applicants you don't stand a chance, I'm afraid.

if you really need a job then try clothing stores or grocery store. there might be internships available somewhere also.
