    Does she have a national insurance number yet?

    My first ever job was babysitting at 14/15 then I worked at the co-op and body shop and then tesco all up to 17. Even if she can get a couple of one off job, she can start putting things down on her CV. Do you know anyone would could give her some paid work experience just to get her started?

    Edited: Apologies, I was too eager to respond and give some advice I didn't see your latest post. That's great news!
    Some times you have to hold back to go forward to where you want to be.
