Did you apply for full or part time?

I had this before, they pick your hours which is useless if you need full time.

Do a royal mail nightshift over christmas.

You'll come back minted - I came out with thousands after doing nights in Sainsburys over Christmas.

The only bad thing is that you have to work 9pm - 7:30am, with only a total of one hour 'lunch'/breaks.

Most "hands on" apprenticeships seem to pay pretty well, I've hopefully got an engineering one lined up with Network Rail as of next month, and it pays over double what any of my past jobs have paid (I've worked in about 3 hotels, Tescos and a couple of shops)

Nice overtime bonus too Smile

You're, what, 17-18? You've got plenty of time to get yourself back into further education! I didn't go to uni until I was 24.

Dransy, if you're 18 plus, work at a pub.

I got paid 4.80 an hour working there full time for a month. My shifts would vary between 12 PM to 5 PM and 6 PM to 11 PM worked every day except Friday.

Ended up totting up about a grand, i was chuffed to bits.

Plus you get a coupla pints at the end of each day Razz

Aye pub works pretty, good. Yes you have to put up with pissed up dickheads who moan because you havent got round to serving them yet, but is some good benefits, like if your single ( i wasnt unfortunatly at the time) you'll get to meet women etc, and its good fun and a laugh.

Worked at my ex's me and 3 birds behind one being the gf, was good fun. Got free bitter too Thumbs Up
