WTF!? No we dont! The chav population of Manchester do, not the decent hard workers! How dare you, that is disgusting. Shame on you.I think it's good that your looking for a job, most 17 year old in manchester just roam the streets all day drinking beer and causing troble. Tell us how you got on.
And my dad left when he was 15 ... Now hes a wielder in Perth. He did brilliant for himself.You left school when you were 13
Ok i should have said SOME 17 year olds do. One of my brother's is 17 and he has a good job. And i would never slag of Mancs, my parents are from manchester.
Then dont say such horrid things, not all 17 year olds from Manchester are like that. At 17 I was in my first year of college and shortly after that I started working at Matalan (I know, shoot me) at the same time of my studies and I never touched a drop of alchol.
Anyway I hope you do get employed mate. In Manchester it can be difficult, you would think because its such a huge city there are tons of employers, but not really. However, seeing as though your not in education they may take you on as you have nothing else holding back your hours. However I think college would be a great idea. If you get a EMA you get up to £60 a week attending lessons, plus if you cant afford travel fees, your college will help you pay. At least thats what they do at Bury, they are a great college. But I think you may need to get your high school involved in that area. Plus it looks great on your CV whislt looking for a part time job.
Getting a job in New York City is like attempting to reach the moon. It's DAMN hard, specially when you got racist rich bastards who are bias as hell.
Hardly an excuse unless you are free of fiscal liabilities and have no need to work. Then it is just *peachy*.
If you are not white, apply at any given corparation for an office job. They have quotas to fill. Sounds mean, but it's quite trueGetting a job in New York City is like attempting to reach the moon. It's DAMN hard, specially when you got racist rich bastards who are bias as hell.G'luck!

i had hell trying to find a job for years. my first advice would be to say you HAVE graduated and it was in some far off state. try applying where u know someone who can give a good word on you. it also helps to have lots of job experience. just put down a bunch of bs. they never check up on that anyway.
Oh well excuse me dad ... I wouldnt work at a fast food resturant full stop. Mainly because of the abuse Ive witnessed and also because Im not the slimest person in the world, so I would end up spending my break having a snack there.Hardly an excuse unless you are free of fiscal liabilities and have no need to work. Then it is just *peachy*.

Not sure how long ago that was, but that might have been possible 20 years ago, but not anymore. Before, a lot of places would let you train on the job and most other places would only require a high school graduation. That is just not the case anymore. With so many people in the job market, they have raised the stakes quite a bit and now you need some sort of college/university certification/degree for most positions. Employers can pick and choose from the best.

I don't know your personal circumstances, but if you're in a position to go to college and get some GCSEs then I'd do that. Maybe have a part-time job as well - most people do at college. Qualifications are so important now.
But if this isn't the route you're going for, then good luck with the job. Once you're on the ladder and you have good references etc., it's easier to get jobs in the future.
Well, I don't have a job at the moment, but I have a perfect scheme for when I do.
You see, if I get up at 7 in the morning, walk a dog for somebody for £5 for 30 minutes, then move to the next house, then do the same, and finish at £9, then by the end of the day I will have a decent amount of money by the end of the day, if I do that 5 days, and not on weekends, then that will be practically normal wages.
I am 15 and I cannot find a job, though my 14 year old friends have them. This bugs me, but I'll wait a month until I'm 16 to look some more, because a lot of people hire 16 year olds. I want to work in a book store. xD
hard. very very hard. Depends where you live. Rural norfolks a crippler.
"NPC: Sorry this house is sealed off because of Blight"
I wanted to deliver the paper's. I know its a nothing job, but atleast I'd have more money in my pocket but No. Parent's won't allow it. So I have to wait till Im 16. "Its too dangerous"
That's something I've heard before to guilt kids into taking advantage of employment opportunities, but the fact is that fast food restraunts really do screw you over - at least, I know McDonald's does. They bring you on at decent pay, then around the time they say they're giving you a raise, they slash your hours to the point where you barely work ever, until they either you quit or they fire you in order to bring in new employees. Then they trick more kids into coming in with lots of hours and beginner's wages and continue the cycle of cheap employment.I think it is sad when people say such things as 'I would never work at _______!!!11' I mean, It really deploys an unhumiliated image and in my mind paying your bills and showing fiscal responsability would be the most important priorety in one's life. Any job is better than no job
I had to work overnight recieving at Wal*Mart to make ends meet, and this is with a 2 year A.S. in Software Engineering. I had a consulting programming job on the side, but the work was never guarenteed, and the pay was not steady enough to reliably make ends meet. That's my sob story

So I would refuse to work at McDonald's. As far as I know, other fast food restaraunts tend to be a little more ethical about employment, so I'd consider them if I needed a job.
