i've been looking very hard since january and i have only been offered one job which i couldn't do because it was in the middle on no where and there were no fixed hours.
i've given out over 100 CVs, and heard nothing.
i have improved my CV as well and taken people's advice and i have been activly looking for work.
i have got experiance working as a waitress, plus all my grades are good, and i speak another language. there are plenty of jobs, so could someone please tell me why i'm not getting anything?
i have been applying for both part time and full time work, plus i have said that i will do almost any hours...
any ideas? it doesnt help that almost all the jobs are at one place (lakeside) as my area has virtually no trade at all going on and is just houses

supermarkets?
i agree with that lucifer said- if you havent tried the job centre, then try it. they should be able to help you. or even just go on their webiste and search for jobs.
the local supermarkets don't seem to ever have anything when i ask, and the local temp agency told me to sod off. litrally.
this summer ive hopefully got a job working in a nursery- have you tried places like that? or holiday clubs for kids?
is there no way you can work at lakeside then?
and what are your friends doing? do any of them have jobs? maybe they could ask where they work if they need anyone over the summer.
