My youngest is applying for part-time jobs atm while continuing to studies and I must admit I'm so proud of him as many of his friends get paid for staying on at school and get money from the government
https://www.gov.uk/education-maintenance-allowance-ema £30.00 weekly.
Why am I proud because when I said to him that this was the benefit was for low-income families and he cannot get it due to our household income, he just said that's good that they get help not once did he say that's not fair and for that, I'm proud in fact I'm very proud of his attitude on who is entitled to this payment and IMO many can learn this non-judgemental view, needless to say, I'm also very proud he has decided to get a part-time job.
His big brother drafted up a CV for him so he can apply for jobs and since yesterday he has applied for Home Bargains, Subway (which I hope he does get because of the rubbish pay they pay 16-year-olds) and Tesco.
He managed to apply for Home Bargains and subway himself but Oh my goodness Tesco was a nightmare and I was worse than useless tbh as he had to upload his passport, letter from HMRC confirming his NI number so his big brother helped with that
So now my youngest has a cracking looking CV for a 16-year-old thanks to his big brother plus tips on what to write as he is now adding that travel will not be a problem as he will be travelling
via his own personal taxi service aka Mum & Dads car sorry meant to write own transport as both parents own a car and are more than willing to drive him to and from his place of work, my eldest said this should help as he won't be relying on public transport plus it say's to any future employer that he has the full support & backing of his parents should he get the job he is applying for.
So fingers crossed he will get something within the hours he is applying for, so far the job hours for his applications are Tesco Saturday & Sunday 13:00-18:00, subway is a 12 hour contract in where he put in the hours that would suit him, Home Bargains is Wednesday & Friday 16:00-20:00, Saturday 14:00-18:00, Sunday 08:00-12:00.
I did laugh at subway's job title sandwich artist
The Tesco job would be ideal for him IMO
