Hiya, I'm 15, 16 in June, and I desperatley need a job. I have been looking for ages and it now seems impossible to find a job for someone under 16, nearly all applications are asking for NI number, and as I'm not 16 I haven't received mine yet. I've tried everything. Please help, I live in North West London in Cricklewood. Please try and find me something xx

What you might try to do, until you hit the magical mark of sixteen [which seems to be the problem for you] is try to do small odd jobs to make money. Maybe you can cut grass or babysit for the next month and a half, and about a week before your birthday I would start job searching avidly, letting people know that you will be sixteen in just a few days and would be ready for a job soon.

Some ideas about jobs for 16 year olds:

Maybe you are too young to get a job or you simply like being your own boss. Starting a business may be the perfect choice to earn some money. With a little creativity and hard work, you can start your own business. There are many ways aggressive young people can get started in the business world. Here are a few ideas:

A Painting Service

Painting is a messy job, so if you have some experience and some friends there are surely some people who would pay you to do it. Be sure you can offer professional results at a lower cost than a professional company would charge.

Selling Drinks or Bottled Water

During the hot summer months, an ice cold drink at a good price would be a welcomed thing at a park, playground, or anywhere there is activity. You could purchase drinks at a wholesale price, chill them and they would sell like crazy.

A Cleaning Service

People who don’t have time to clean their homes or small businesses would gladly pay someone to do it for them. Yard or basement cleaning could be a real money maker too.

Car Washing Service

People who don’t have time to wash their own cars would really welcome a door-to-door car washing service. This type of business is very easy to get started and you could set up appointments at the car owner’s location.

Dog Walking Service

Busy people and homebound people would gladly pay someone to exercise their pets. You could get regular customers or even take care of pets while the owner is away.

Yard Service
A nice looking yard is nice but not everyone has the time or the energy to do it and would gladly pay someone. Cutting grass, weeding, planting flowers, and raking leaves could have you raking in bucks in the summer.

Computer Technology Service

Are you good with computer programs or setting up websites? There are people who would pay for your help designing websites, burning CDs or DVDs. You could charge to convert old VHS tapes to DVD. There even people who would pay you to teach them how to use a computer or software.

Starting your own business will be a lot of work. You have to be prepared to work long hours finding and promoting your business. Handing out flyers, knocking on doors, and getting referrals is hard work that could pay off in a big way.

Your age is your biggest barrier to finding employment. May I suggest trying restaurants or babysitting until you hit that lucky age? Not much longer to go, I would start looking at jobs now of course but to realistically earnmoney you may have to babysit or something similar in the short time between now and then.

Yes A nice searching backyard is nice but not anybody has the time or the activity to do it and would acquiescently pay someone. Cutting grass, weeding, burying flowers, and raking leaves could accept you raking in bucks in the summer.

When I was fifteen and living in Stoke I setup a car washing service, as someone above has suggested. It's actually quite a good little earner provided you can get your location right. Also, recruit a few of your mates too as this will make the idea of washing cars all day slightly more appealing. Wink

I'd say whatever you want to do, be it car washing/gardening etc - just get out there and do it. Persistence is, as ever, the key.

Good luck.
