Was thinking of joining up with them and distrubing my CV, they charge around £17.50 for their basic package, whereby, the send your CV and cover letter to all suitable recruiters.

I was going to give it a go then saw the price. Has anyone else used this company or a simialr one? Any success?

Would appreciate your advice.

Thanks,

just put your cv on monster.co.uk jobserve.co.uk and any other site like that you can find related to your industry, apply for jobs via these sites and you'll soon get recruiters ring you for other jobs saying - i just saw your cv on monster are you still looking....

And this is free.

Just because a company sends a CV to a recruiter doesn't mean that recruiter bothers to read it. Save your money.

Thanks! I doubt I'll get a job from all this, tried a similar website and get all these related jobs but when I end up sending my CV and everything, I get neither any calls or emails back

Will give both of those websites a try. Is it really that hard for 17 year olds to find jobs? They all seem to want some experience!

If you are only 17 with little work experience, a CV site isn't likely to be much use because they will be seeking out the experience.

If you don't have work experience, you need to get some.
It doesn't have to be paid work - volunteer. Find a local charity that needs volunteers to do tasks in the area you are seeking - you can find opportunities in lots of types of work - for instance retail, general office, IT, events, horticulture, catering, personal support. Try do-it.org.uk.

Do you know what you want to do?

If so, do what I did when I left school. Don't wait for adverts in the job pages, write to local companys in the field of work you are looking at asking if they have any apprenticeship schemes etc, or if they would consider taking you on a training program. Some employers see this more preferably ot having to put adverts out as it shows you have initiative.
