The bit about you speaking rubbish was when you started going on about getting work experience, voluntary work or a job at a crap organisation before applying for a better job. The reason why I brought up Argos was because the OP is clearly wanting a part time job until September, maybe a few weekends beyond that.

My thoughts on further education are that not many people come out with a degree and actually got a job with what their degree is in. Many come out of Uni and just get a normal job. People think Uni opens up new doors, and in a way it does but it doesn't necessarily mean you're going to go down that path because the reality is not everyone will. A lot of people go through Uni then just end up with normal jobs, so my view is why waste 3 years of your life and get yourself in debt when you can just jump straight into getting a job? The job I have atm isn't even full time, and already I'm on better pay than a couple of my friends who have been through Uni who work full time.

Oohhh you both live in Manc, have a fight! :dance2:

As for advice, you are best just giving CV's everywhere. I was a completely CV ***** and handed mine to basically everywhere and got a fair few replies, a few interviews, some weren't successful but it gives you some practice, and then I got a job in GAP last summer. Although it's a nice shop, it bored me absolutely shitless, so the 'fancy' stores are not always the best, though it depends what you prefer.

I work 'somewhere rubbish' and I prefer it a lot more to GAP so don't let the fact it's McDonalds put you off places like that, I wouldn't call it a great job but it's not too bad at all, and the money's pretty good, and as it's only part time, I think it's ideal. Plus, they are hiring in Liverpool in all stores, so I presume they will be where you are, as it gives a website on the advertisement and you put your city in etc.

Not necesarily. I do want to go to Uni [oohhh btw, was working out my grades and points, and providing I get my Psychology, I can get into Lancaster to do the course I want :wink:] but the thing with me, I don't know what job I definatly want so I don't want to get into thousands of pounds of debt and then have this degree that I don't want to do anything with. Granted, having a degree on your CV will always increase your chances of getting any job, regardless of what degree it is, but Uni is probably only a good idea if you know exactly what you are wanting to do, and a job to fill in say a year is not a bad suggestion.
