Get a job and meet new people… renew your life… and start thinking differently… good luck

I’d love to get a job but I live in the middle of nowhere, have no experience on my (very bare) CV and all the jobs have been snapped up. So stuck.

How About voluntary work like for a charity… that would boost your cv and itd be something to do and itll make you feel good about yourself.

I did consider that but I’m worried about making a commitment to something because I have always struggled with attendance, lateness, bad motivation etc and I might let them down then feel worse about myself. I would love to though and it would boost my CV so yeah, it’s a pretty good idea, I’ll look around and see what voluntary stuff there is to do around here (probably not alot but worth a look)

For jobs like that do they check your mental health record though? If so, I am screwed.

I guess but just research it … i doubt theyd turn down a volunteer

I think they would if they read my school record. I really have f**ked it up for myself.

Not very many employers or charities bother looking at a school record. Even if you have worked as a baby sitter or gotten a small job in an ice cream shop or retail clothing store then you have a start with references for future employment. The important thing is just to try new things.

Well I’ve done a lot of babysitting and did two weeks work experience in a nursery and they wrote me a really lovely reference from that saying i worked hard and was helpful and attentive etc, so I guess that could count, and I did a food course & got one of those food hygiene certificate things which you need to work in a restaurant. So that’s something I suppose? I also have out of school art classes, and did out of school drama and did the drama exams which I passed. Actually now I think about it there are a few things I could put on my CV..
Thanks guys
