Anyone know any good summer/Saturday jobs?
 
Im 15 and my mum is nagging me to get a summer/Saturday job, but their really difficult to find because of my age, I type it on Google and nothing really comes ups? I really enjoy writing for Reality Box but don't get paid for that, done some searching in my local but theres nothing - no one will give me anything because of my age. Anyone have any suggestions?

I did think that but then I dont think it fits with my schools hours as I have to leave for school at 7am and dont get back till 6:30pm and have to do revision/HW etc.

When I was fourteen-eighteen I worked in a restaurant nearly every Saturday. Try a restaurant but it may be hard as I only got my job based on my mum and dad being good friends with the owner and manager of the restaurant. If not perhaps try a cafe or a little pie shop or something loads of my friends worked in cafes etc. Also one or two worked as people who answered the phone for takeaways

Oh yeah that's true, but there's a waiting list to do it, so the people that have more time to do will get it, think they want you to do it at least 2 times a week, so don't know if they would mind just doing it for summer.

Ahh ok.

If your just looking for something to do, while helping the community and getting experience there's always volunteering. It will help you get experience and looks great on your CV. :)

If you have a bicycle, how about approaching businesses as a bike courier? I don't know whether your age will matter (regarding insurance I mean) but it doesn't hurt to ask. Also depending whether it's of interest to you approach small businesses or artisand who may have odd jobs, although I wouldn't think the pay would be that great. Still it's better than nothing.
Also what about supermarkets, shelf filling. I know they employ a lot of young or retired people to do this kind of work, usually in the evenings. Good Luck.

That should be artisans, not artisand.
