With the leaflets how would you suggest I create them, would you just hand them out with my phone number on saying i can tidy people's garden for 5 pound a hour, or even maybe dog walking.

post office/ local convenience shop window would be good, plus my local coop/Tesco/sainsburys/waitrose/morrisons/b and q have small customer advertising boards that you can pin business cars and leaflets on :-)

That's what probably putting employers off no GCSEs. Basic requirements would be maths and English GCSEs. Also more if you want to go uni.

Yeah, well i can't do my GCSE now because i actually haven't got any.

This is what i found on google-

A Level 2 qualification is equivalent to GCSE grade A*-C level. A Level 3 qualification is equivalent to A Level. A Level 4 qualification is equivalent to BTEC Professional Diploma level. A Level 5 qualification is equivalent to HND or foundation degree level.

You will need to get level 2 in maths.
Entry level 3 in maths is equivalent of ages 9-11 standard test: getting a level 2 in maths is equivalent to a-c GCSEs

So what should i actually put on my CV. I actually thought employers were not thick and they new every qualification going, if they don't know then what is the point in them actually hiring people, they should leave it to people that know

There are hundreds of qualifications with various levels of equivalence.

The most recognised ones they will know about.

I wouldn't have a clue about what a level 2 was equivalent to and I worked in education.

If a job says it needs X GCSE then you have to show that what you have is equivalent.

It is unusual in this day and age for someone to have no GCSES.

Employers won't necessarily know that level 2 = GCSE, so it would be a good idea to make this clear on your CV. To someone who doesn't know what it is, "Level 2 in English" sounds like a very basic qualification.

A GCSE is a very basic qualification.
