Please help in any way:oI really need a Job ASAP! Thanks :A

Just some extra Info: I live in Manchester and I've completed my GCSE's (Passed them all, did pretty well, Im quite academic..)

    Most large shops (Argos, Debenhams, Boots, supermarkets etc) take on Christmas temps during the festive period, but I you are too late to get these. They usually start recruiting around the start of September so that they can get through the recruitment and training processes in time.
  • have a walk round the arndale or trafford centre there are almost always a few retailers advertising for staff,go armed with a few cv`s
  • Maybe try hotels or restaurants? You might get work over New Year and depending when the holidays fall before Christmas as well. Be aware though that they may well expect you to work Christmas Day.

    I reccomend Royal Mail. Postie is a well paid job (above minimum) and they recruit seasonal staff. Have a look at the careers website
