Its extremely hard, I know so many who just came out of uni and cant get a job. I was unemployed for 8 months trying to get a job during lockdown

I work as security. It’s not what I want to be doing, as I did well in school, but my current job is chill

Security can be better than most other dead end jobs

But you have to be 18

Only way is to get a family friend to hire you or get a family friend to refer you

if ur a indian or a arab or some sort of ethnic then chances are you have a shit ton of cousins or relatives and you can ask them to put you on some work. If not just go up to those corner shops run by ethnics and ask them to employ you, they be paying shit wages but it is what it is

its actually so terrible getting a part time job in the UK I only just got one after a year and a bit of looking. I would say look into Christmas jobs in hotels and restaurants, because they hire a bunch for Christmas but you will probably get fuck all shifts after new years and get minimum.

You're better off doing voluntary work for the ''work experience'' then applying
That's what I'm doing

better off just straight up lying about having done the 'voluntary work' than actually spending the time doing it

They rarely check, if the employer is bothered enough to check, he wasn't going to hire you anyway
I lie on my cv about work experience (I haven't done shit, only helped out a younger year class in school like 4 times :ROFLMAO:)
I say I ''make my way to school each morning to help with less abled students and co lead lessons'' :ROFLMAO:

account defo based in mumbai :whistle::unsure:
ur definitley in ldn, bradford or some shithole ethnic city, ur never gonna get an entry level job. If u want u could do some humiliation ritual job like a cashier for minimum wage or actual slave labour in some warehouse (which u might not even get or live near one).
