I was 16 years old in November, at which time I started looking for a weekend job to help finance my studies for when I start college in September.

So far, I have applied for 13 jobs and had a response and interview for just two. Many of these jobs are still being advertised so what am I doing wrong?

The staff at both the Job Centre and careers office were very pleasant but unable to advise or answer my query.

All emails are welcome. Or is there an employer out there willing to give a friendly, hardworking 16-year-old with excellent computer skills a weekend job? Perhaps you could also email me?
