16 Year old looking for weekend job

Hi go to the supermarkets websites directly and follow the links for jobs/recruitment/work for us. They tend not to advertise on the main jobs websites.

BTW I think the other poster meant well done for looking for a job and not expecting money to be handed to you by parents/benefits

If you're nearly 17, get yourself around the local cinemas and see if anyone is hiring. Especially if there's a small independent / small chain rather than one of the big chains.

Could do the same with theatres, see if they need ushers? Not sure about age restrictions.

Try events venues and hotels too, you could do some waitressing for weddings. I used to work for a hotel that employed many 16/17 year olds, they just weren't allowed to serve behind the bar or handle the alcohol at receptions.

Another possibility is local taxi firms , do they need anyone to answer the phones! A friends daughter (17 nearly 18) has been happily doing this for a while now!

Waitrose Jobs Site or John Lewis, they update at least once a week , worth a try

if you have some spare time, try and work for free in a charity. The trick is in these places to find something that trains you in a skill that you can use elsewhere to gain £. If the skill has limited training or growth scope, look for another skill. Just because ther is no money does not mean there is nothing to learn

Very few employees have actually benefited form "taken a drop in salery, to gain extra skills" - this is often a con, and you are being played. Whatever you do, no not keep doing the same job (even it it is paid) in the same company year after year. You need change, and progression.

Best of luck!

Sorry I can't help either but good on you - just ask everywhere and I'm sure you'll find something. Employers are keen to get people as positive as you...
