    Hi,
    You live in England? When you say you finished school, do you mean High School?
    I live in the US, in VA.
    Maybe someone can answer your question who lives in England.
    But for now, here in the US, we have State Employment Commissions, or similar, who have job openings, and take applications for jobs. They also give information to employers, with your qualifications, and try to set up job interviews for you.
    Do you have anything like that, where you live?
    Best of luck.

    Well judging by the responses on this site, you really should go back to school and learn how to communicate properly.

    I'm sure that they have an 'unemployment office' in England too, so go there, sign up, and maybe take some extra classes to learn some skill. Don't they have an apprentice program in your area?

    Good luck dear!

    There are loads of temping agencies in england.
    Very efficient too.

    When I left Malta and moved to england I obviously had no job. Went to these agencies with my CV and they contacted me when they saw a suitable job arose that suited my qualifications.

    Once in that specific job, I temped for 6 weeks and if you can prove yourself they give a full time contract.

    Easy Peasy!

    Well I'm now back home not living in England anymore. The 6 years I did in england were terrific. I loved my job and the people I worked with and the friends I made.
    I fit in really well and they all loved my accent and my hot blooded maltese temper lol.

    I found it very easy to fit in, but I'm far from shy, I have a very outgoing personality, I can speak to anyone.

    I made loads of friends very quickly.

    When I was 16 I was abit shy, its only normal as its your first job so you won't know what to expect but it will come round and you will fit in. but practice makes perfect and gaining experience is always an asset, so give yourself time and you'll be fine.

    Just be yourself!
