My first proper job was driving cars for a local dealer*. You do need to be 17 to do that though.

What sort of job are looking for? Permanent? Part-time? Holidays? Saturdays?

Given your age, looking through the local ads, newsagents, flyers in the chippy etc is going to be the best bet.

* Second hand car dealer.

I got lucky as i didn't like school so hardly ever attended and i got offered the chance to go to Stephensons College once a week instead of doing the last year at school. I chose Painting and Decorating and i did that for my first proper job i had finished half the NVQ by the time i was old enough t start work.

I dont do it now but i would look into a college course they should help you find a work placement also.

That's if you want to go into a Construction trade that is.

EDIT - ok having seen your reply all this info is now useless.

Trust me, Alex's refrain of "I'm just 24yrs old" is so last year - "I've done an amazing amount for a 15yr old" is the way forward.

Doesent anyone on here own a pub or anything i could be a glass collector

[the_bowman]

I know how you feel mate, I'm after a saturday/evening job at 15 and it's bloodeh hell trying to find one

Many places won't employ you until you're 16, so that could explain a lot as to why you're struggling. When you do turn 16 I'd suggest just handing CV's in (to the manager if and when possible) to shops etc. Most of the time you just have to get lucky and be in the right place at the right time with this sort of thing.

Turning up naked wasn't the best move.

Turning up naked wasn't the best move.

I thought woo'ing my potential employer may go some way to persuading them.

There's a small shop in town down Churchgate that had an advert in the window saying part time staff required. Perfect for 15 year old school boy. Apply within.

I'm not kidding.

You have to be 16 to work in high street shops etc.

Best bet is pubs and restaurants to pot wash/waiter..dont expect to be paid more than 3/4 quid an hour though

Just Referee

More than £20 a game (£23 to be precise at the age groups I Ref) and 1 game is an hour (if you do Youth games).... wait that's £20 an hour

Better than some stupid paper round with crap pay

First job was coaching for a local womens football team but that was voluntary, then coaching childrens football again voluntary.

Then waiter at a Pub (£4.60 an hour),

And now i'm still a waiter (£4.60 an hour) aswell as coaching childrens football voluntary and coaching football for premiere sport (£12.50 an hour)
