Apprenticeship, at my age???

"Apprenticeship??? I sware there for olders. I am only 6-teen why do I need to become someone apprentice plus I hate having a supervisor its just like secondary school again." LOL that exactly what I thought until one of my friends told me that her was doing one in photography. Then I went to apprenticeship website and found out that Apprenticeships are an excellent way of gaining qualifications and workplace experience. As an employee, I could earn as I learned and I could gain practical skills from the workplace (cher-ching).

Or if you do not want to permently leave school you could go to the job center who have a great range of part-time jobs for you from: shop assistant to hotel receptionist

Some go the EXTRA mile

Why do students pick certain school? We’ve heard every reason imaginable! For example, i know one student who decided to pick to a college because during the campus tour he noticed that there was a KFC shop right next to his school (fatty). We can even tell you about a student that wanted to get so far away from home that she took out a compass and a map and drew a 5 mile circle around her house. Then she vowed never to apply to a school within that circle. I decided to pick my college by writing the advantages and disadvatages of the school the school with the most advantages and the less disadvantages.

Here is a guy who is studying and working see how he balances it out:

Games...Revision... two diffrent things, not know

I had bad memory when I read a whole page nothing went in. I knew I needed to revise had and work hard at collage so I played Simon. This new game has helped me to revise and gave me a good way to relax after and between revision sessions. Try it, and trust me you will like it. Also try and beat my score of 15, good luck.

CV? Where do I start?

Writing a CV is always hard especially when nobody teaches you how to write one, who to contact and he jobs available. In my secondary school (st Peters, home of the legends LOL) they told us to write on but they don’t really go thought it with you. I felt scared and worried then I found a website on line with 3 easy steps called Letter Wizard. This is what some of my friend thought about the website.

 "I wrote and e-mailed my application letter in 5 minutes. This tool is very helpful!"

"I didn't know how to write a good CV. But this wizard automatically writes a perfect CV without thinking too much about it." Stanley

These days jobs are limited and I found it hard to get one but now I work as a waitress at cafe lafux but now the employers look at grades not qualities so it helps if you have a teachers evaluation of you (make sure it good). Good luck you will need it.
