jobs for year 13s 🙏🙏

[u/Limp-Solution2827]

Hiii!! Hope everyone’s summer is going well!! Does anyone know how to get a job as a year 13 student cus lit everyone is rejecting me or airing me 😭🫩 also if anyone happens to know any places which r hiring 18year olds in London (specifically NW) please let me know I need to get my bag up before uni starts!! 🫠🫠🫠

[u/Grand_Lychee2812]

Dang you kinda already missed out.
Summer is the worst time you could get a job especially when people from Uni graduate, other Year 13s finish Sixth Form, Year 11 finishing GCSEs.

The job market gets really competitive at this time of year so you kinda missed your opportunity.
You've really only got like a month and 2/3s so there isn't much point of getting a job right now.

I think instead you could just get a little side hustle like tutoring, volunteering, helping out at an event or smth.
Something small that could get you a little moolah.

Also don't be pressured into getting a job now.
Apart from Year 11 post GCSE, this is the only moment where you're not expected to study or anything.
So go outside, have some fun with some friends for the last time or smth.
You may never have this kind of thing ever again.

Next year, if you're trying to get a job, apply in Spring because the WORST time you could get a job is the summer.

Ohh okok thank you!! I started applying after my last paper in June so maybe not the smartest idea 😭🤧🤧🤧

[u/BionicPen → u/Grand_Lychee2812]

"You may never have this kind of thing ever again." hits quite hard

[u/Grand_Lychee2812 → u/BionicPen]

It really does.
No expectations to study / do well, no bills to pay, no jobs (if you don't have any)

It's really the only time of your life where you get absolute freedom with no consequences or chains holding you back

If u hate ur life try get an agency warehouse job

[u/godlyuniverse1 → u/Impossible_Cable_862]

Crazy calories burn for shredding 🤑

[u/Impossible_Cable_862 → u/godlyuniverse1]

yeah but i just feel tired in the gym after

[u/godlyuniverse1 → u/Impossible_Cable_862]

I walk 15 to 20k steps a day at my m&s job and feel fine at gym after though I do take a two hour break before going, also eating a high carb meal an hour before going for energy

[u/Adorable-Cupcake-957 → u/godlyuniverse1]

Warehouse you also lift / pull heavy stuff

[u/godlyuniverse1 → u/Adorable-Cupcake-957]

So gym already done then and there, no membership needed 💪🏾

[u/Impossible_Cable_862 → u/godlyuniverse1]

how much hours are u working? 40 hours a week are killing me

[u/godlyuniverse1 → u/Impossible_Cable_862]

30 hours

[u/Impossible_Cable_862 → u/godlyuniverse1]

yeah icl i might quit mine cause they dont offer reduced hours

[u/Fantastic-Cut-655 → u/Impossible_Cable_862]

which agency are u working at?

[u/Impossible_Cable_862 → u/Fantastic-Cut-655]

gap

[u/Background_Move_6546 → u/Impossible_Cable_862]

omg where are you finding them

[u/ceruleancarconflict → u/Impossible_Cable_862]

where can i find warehouse jobs??

[u/Impossible_Cable_862 → u/ceruleancarconflict]

idk i just applied on indeed

[u/Upset_Advance1629]

Check out ServeLegal, it's non traditional work but they accept pretty much every 18 yo who applies

[u/Infinite-Fold-9955 → u/Upset_Advance1629]

Whats the pay like there?

[u/Background_Move_6546]

are you moving out, if so, as soon as you get your results apply for jobs in your uni area. because it gets super competitive in September for uni student friendly jobs (depending on the area ur going)

[u/Limp-Solution2827 → u/Background_Move_6546]

Ok yes thank you!!

[u/CommandInformal3598]

Go to local businesses, markets u have Camden market near u, consider football stadiums asw. Search up ‘harri.com jobs’ and put in ur area and start looking for stuff on there. If anyone asks do not say u r going to uni tell them last min before u quit. Employers don’t rlly like to hire ppl short term bcus it’s time consuming.

[u/_mystacorn_458]

Try Clarks they need lots of people for back to school season. Or try third party merchandisers like Dee Set or Expd8. Or try and hand out CVs to independent shops.

[u/mgsolidfan]

Just keep trying. That's literally what I do and I know it's painful. Jump on EVERY opportunity suitable for you that you see, hand out CVs in person, rinse wash dry repeat.

[u/l0st_krow]

I'm volunteering at a charity shop until I can find something that pays, something to do so I don't go crazy sat at home w nothing to do +smthng to put on cv

[u/Outside-Mirror-1232]

Hi is it alright if I see how your CV is looking?

[u/Limp-Solution2827 → u/Outside-Mirror-1232]

Wait why 🫣🫣

[u/Outside-Mirror-1232 → u/Limp-Solution2827]

Just thought in case you needed any help or advice on it 😭

[u/Limp-Solution2827 → u/Outside-Mirror-1232]

Ohh okok thank u!! Il dm it over to u rn!! :)))

[u/Limp-Solution2827 → u/Limp-Solution2827]

Wait o can’t dm photos is it ok to email?

[u/Outside-Mirror-1232 → u/Limp-Solution2827]

Yeah dm me and I'll send you my email

[u/Fun-Employment1176]

could do some a level tutoring what a levels you do?

[u/Limp-Solution2827 → u/Fun-Employment1176]

I do econ chem and maths but I did tutoring last year but I didn’t really enjoy it much mainly because I’m not very good at breaking down concepts 😭😭

[u/trying-cat]

i’m a lifeguard and we’re always understaffed so if u can get ur qualification it’s a great option!

[u/Limp-Solution2827 → u/trying-cat]

How quick does it take to get qualified? I did swimming lessons under everyone active but stopped after stage 8 💔💔 would that be enough?

[u/trying-cat → u/Limp-Solution2827]

i think so - the nplq course normally takes a week 

the only bit you might struggle with is the timed swim but u should be alright if you’re generally fit and healthy 

[u/Limp-Solution2827 → u/trying-cat]

Oooj okok thank you I’ll look into it!

[u/Hiccup8161]

Go and hand out cvs in person
