A debt free wannabee diary of a 16 year old!

ampersand

Hello Jess,
Your maturity and a lovely attitude do shine through.
You seem a very wise and realistic woman in the making and certainly starred as a parent/friend/mentor/fave rellie as Life progresses.
I thought 'ebay' at the start and I'm sure your cakemaking can be a success further afield.
Well done for spelling 'desserts' correctly, too!
I suspect we'll all be watching out for you.
Just a thought - is there anyone among your friends whose ideas and ways sit well with yours for extra earning?
What about an approach to local papers with and about your positive attitude - WHY NOT REFER PEOPLE/NEWS DESK TO THIS THREAD?

I know it sounds lame and all but is your local job centre looking for you?

Also the high street recruitment agencies...

I'm not saying you're worthless but at your age with no actual spends, you could really get one of those entry level office jobs at minimum wage. It's hard slog but once you've done 9 months of hell then you'll actually be in a position to never go back to that level of administration again!

Christmas is a horrible time to look for jobs. All current jobs get put on hold and all new jobs wait till the new year. Come mid-January, you'll be in a much better position to find something.

Do they have a Connexions where you live? that would be the best bet for someone your age, the jobcentre are pretty useless for young people.

I volunteer with a local Charity and Connexions seem to be doing good things.

Yep been in touch with a connextions adviser , who sends job oppitunites every 6-8 weeks , the list is pretty limitied and so far no luck!
Im hoping in January i can find some work , i got some wages tonight from childminding , the majority of my christmas shopping is done so im happy with that and im childminding Monday night so it all helps xx
