I need your help.
Basically, At the grand old age of 15 I want a job for some extra pocket money but where to?
I had a wonder around Ealing Broadway Centre (my local town centre-thingy) and saw no vacancy signs in the windows. As I was busy I had to go home but how do normally go around getting a part-time job on Saturday afternoons? I was hoping I'd get a job in Dixons, Carphone Warehouse.. something similar.. kinda techy but not too much, I mean I have an ECDL (European Computer Driving Lisence) so basically I have an understanding of computers and how they work :-D.
But how can I use that to my advantage?
And how do I apply for a job? Is it normal just to walk in and ask for a job or what?
Pwease help,
Nidal

That's a shame, I could have got your local Dixons manager to give you an interview depending if they had any jobs. If I were you mate I'd enjoy still only being 15 and wouldn't worry about working until you are 16...it's not all what it's cracked up to be, this working lark

You can actually work if you under 16 but is has to be approved by your school. They will approve hours of work and put conditions on, ie no work on school nights or whatever. There is an official form to be filled out, damned if I can remember the ref no though

Semms half the damn shops in this town are staffed by 14 year olds at the weekend.
Gits work for about £2.50 an hour and undercut everyone else.

Dixons do c...c..c.. what's the word...
Compensation, no...
Dammit, what's the word where you get money for everything you sell...
*asks Dad*
Commission, that's the one!
You get commission for things you sell and if you take a knife with you and threaten the customers into buying things, you can easily make some nice cash...
Otherwise, B&Q offer £6 odd an hour for working there on the customer service desk...
I've got a nicely paid job for the summer, I earnt just under £550 in 3 weeks working for Essex police, enquire to your local police for some summer work, making tea and filing may be boring at times but if you get stuck in a good office where everyone is working on a major murder case, then you can find some interesting things...
You must be 16 again to work for these 3 but for the police you mustn't discuss what you see!
I've seen some pretty revealing things and if I blurt them out, I'll be put away for breaking the 'Official Secrets Act!'
So annoying at times...
I read the papers and think, "Noooooo, you're all wrong!"

Hmm...Dixons...I work at their head office...when are you 16?
Most pubs and stuff will let you do waitering jobs, from around 3 quid an hour.
