Once you have experience you will have more chance of getting a job, but really your best bet is to go into further education.

Sorry but thats a load of rubbish. I'm not denying that your argos doesn't take anyone on but I know plenty who have put their CV in one and managed to get a job soon after. Also experience starts with weekend jobs, not the company you work for.
Further education is also vastly overrated. Not many people who come out of Uni actually get a job in the field they've studied in and wasted money on.

So you approve a job in argos over further education? The only reason i promote further education is that you could be working in a job that you actually enjoy doing rather than sitting in an office or at a cashier every day for the rest of your life.
My mum brought me up to follow my dream because you only live once and you work for pretty much half of your life so you might aswell enjoy it, so is further education stupid? No is it hell, dont plague peoples minds with your rubbish someone might take it seriously. just because you think its rubbish doesnt mean it is.
And I only said my Argos in my town never hires people so dont start getting all hot headed at me

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.
