    Yeah, in a way I am. I can either find a place to work myself, or I can apply at a website where some places offer work experience places.

    I applied at the website this time.

    I have never had a job, but this will be my fourth work experience. Last time. Last time I was at a music store for two weeks.

    Coffee shop, sports shop, supermarket, clothes shop. None of them got back to me. Looks like I'll be signing on soon, and looking for more places needing staff...


    Shouldn't be really hard to get a job like that. Dutch supermarkets are always looking for employers. Good luck

    Trust me, it is really hard. My friend applied for 20 jobs: 18 of them never got back to him, 1 gave him a interview (he never got the job), and the other gave him the job. They don't even have the decency to reply and say "sorry, we've declined your application".
  4. Perhaps you could have a friend introduce you?


  5. Word of mouth can happen, but it's hard when your friends are working at places that currently don't need anyone.

    There's place that I'm currently keeping my eye on, called Marks & Spencer's (a popular shop here in the UK), and on their website, you can apply for certain shifts, but they are not to my liking because I have to fit it around school.

    Oh, and thanks for the "good luck", Fabian!
  6. I have to do my homework now

    Good luck finding a job, and bye guys. Stay safe.


  7. Enjoy

    Cheers man. Have a good night!
  8. Good night Fabian!
  9. @Kieran - yes, they can be a bitch sometimes, not replying and all. But all you have to do is printing more curriculums and walking faster. They end up picking you up. You just need a good printer and good legs. And patience

    @Olof - oh, well, that's not so bad then. I understand it's some kind of school requirement, and I appreciate that. Here in Spain we never got the chance to do that at school, and I think it's very very useful. A lot of young folks who leave school would never do it if they knew the work world before - and viceversa.
    PD. Working in a music shop is a Epic Win in my book.
  10. It sure was. I got loads of things for free too I think I've maybe discounts and stuff there for like at least €100 Of course it was loads of fun as well, and cool to see the inner workings of a store like that.
  11. And it's not bad at all. It's a highlight. You just need a nice place. I've been a greenkeeper at my golf club, I've been at my old kindergarden, and now I'll be at my favorite restaurant in town
  12. That's a great bunch or jobs so far. Earning money with your own sweat and work is one of the most rewarding feelings I know.
