TBH mate, you will find it very hard because of the law's on employing under 18's. I normally have 28 staff but I will go out of my way to employ those over 18 as the paperwork etc required to employ a 15yr old is a nightmare. That doesn't even take into account the insurance hassle.

 

I've even stopped taking work experience kid's because of the hassle

[Retro-gone.]

you dont need to tell me gav, ive been saent home from work again without pay, i got 2 days in last week and now im getting worried, if i lose my job im fooked cos ive got no savings whatsoever.. im scratting around trying to raise the £250 its gonna cost me to fetch the capri back from kent.

[Slammed]

ahh well, best stick to trying to shift my panels then,

[bortaf]

I think you'll find there is a law on the minimum you get paid so there's no way they work for less

There's a limit to the amount of hours an under 16 can work and to most places it's not enough to cover the hassle of another employee, they would rather have an 18 year old doing twice or 3 times the hours and only have 1 lot of paperwork

 

Keep looking though mate and DON'T end up like my lazy arse 23 year old eldest , who's never had a job and can't even make to the job search course on time cos he a lazy coont.

Trying is half the battle, counts big in my books

 

by the way Mk1 cortina sills are differant to Mk2, sell a Mk1 owner Mk2 sills and your asking for trouble, they dont fit well at all

if it wasnt a 1000 mile round trip for me i'd happly pick the car up for you.

 

 

you could always sell your body if you can go round all the local complanys you can and just ask them if they have any jobs you could do, companys are more likly to employ you if you actualy take the time to go and see them

[Dr Feelgood]

isnt there anywhere you could ask to do little cash in hand jobs? like shifting things etc

[Stu_B]

I used to work for cash when I was 15

 

... some of the worst jobs you can imagine thinking back

[Slammed]

[countrybumpkin]

just a thought you have a few panels right? have you tried selling them on ebay?

[richie_stix]

[Slammed]

[Copey]

RENT BOY

[R1.Andy]

i dunno about you personly as i dont no you..

but when i was your age i worked all weekend and holidays and excepted wot i was offered pay wise mite have been 10 quid for the day mite of been 20..

but most kids today wont even entertain getting out of bed for less that 80 quid..cos there all lazy gits who cant be arsed to do work..but they seem to have money for phone credit cinama tickets junk food..cracks me up..

[Takeshi]

When I was 14 I started a paper round after school, earning about £7 a week. That went upto 2 rounds a day, one after the first. I got about £20 for that all in, done that until I left school when I was 16. I was fit a fiddle then, riding my bike all the time.

Hard work aswell, bloomin' Friday papers lol, the bag exploded a few times cos of all the weight.

I mean, for 1 or 2 hours a day, £20 was better than nothing when your young

 

I sound like a old man

[Slammed]

yeah i done a paper round, but it just took all my day up, and with gcse's happening, i really dont want to jeopardise them, i ideally would like a weekend job, looks like it aint gonna happen

[evil knievel]

could pick up some week end night shifts at homebase or something

[surfingturnip]

with the way things are you cant really afford to be that picky with what you'll do and where you'll work. It is difficult to find anywahere atm, I know as I only relatively recently managed to get a job (blowing stuff up and getting paid for it ) but just keep at it and dont set the bar too high

[5hane]

mate go with wht you can find

 

i had a paper round, god they sucked, but i had more money than i get now. and now i work saturdays, but that was luck as i got asked after my work experiance.

 

ask your dad's mates if they could help you out.. even making the tea is better than nothing.

 

if pub washings all you can get, go for it. tbh that could be great fun, kariokies/ foot ball, etc.. i think that would be a right laugth.

 

o also cash is good

[Trevmk3]

i worked in a kitchen pot washing, and had 2 paper rounds when i was at school, (one in the morning one in the evening) worked in the kitchen saturday and sunday and the holidays also worked in the coffee shops and ice cream van at the same place as well as doing some building work with me dad

 

pubs and resturants are the places to try mate

[5hane]

my mate works in outback in romford, and he regualy gets tips aswell as his usal pay.. he was telling us today about his £10 tip he got.. not that im jelous he takes up to about £50 a night..
