Does Anybody Know of any jobs going in the Lancashire area?
I have worked in a hair salon, pub, solicitors ( cleaning) and i have done a paper round
but the problems are that ...

When i first got the paper round my dad said i wasn't aloud it so he went in so the job would be passed on to my younger sister

I worked in the hair salon for my sister and she no longer needs me there

The manager in the pub kept sending her workers home eairly to save money but this did me no favours so i left as i needed the money

And the cleaning is only once a month wich i still do but i need but i need another job because it's near christmas.

I have made my own C.V and progress file which i have handed in to places but with no sucess as they all want people 16+ or have no jobs going and don't bother ringing me back.
i live in the countryside with barley any shops or people so babysitting or gardening is out of the question although i would love to do it given the oppotunity as i have done babysitting in the past but it was only tempory.

Please Can someone help?

How old are you exactly? Unfortunately if you live in the countryside with hardly any shops or people then the jobs will be few and far between.

Why did your dad say that you couldn't do the paper round and make your younger sister do it?

Well done on doing a CV etc, have you had someone check it over to see if it is ok or if it can be improved at all?

All I can suggest is that you keep doing what you are doing, handing it out to shops etc. Could you put a card in the Newsagents window offering your services for Babysitting or Gardening?
Are there any egg farms near you? They may need egg packers. And maybe the shop where you did the paper round needs a weekend shelf stacker?

Well done for doing your CB, but I hope you spell checked it. Also make sure that you read it through carefully for grammatical errors (eg in your post above you have written aloud rather than allowed - aloud means eg talking out loud, allowed means being you have been let to do something).
Don't give any age details etc about yourself Savi - suffice to say you are under 16. The sad fact is that in much of Lancashire, adults with families have to take a couple of part time jobs to make ends meet - there are simply very few jobs around. The main employers are now the councils. Many friends of mine signed themselves onto the 'casual cover' list for their local councils when they got to the age of 16 - 17 - it depends on the responsibilty you can be given eg lifeguarding in a pool requires some training (which they give you).
My children (now adults) went through exactly the same as you and I've real sympathy, but maybe you could turn your energy to learning a new skill, a language, driving, whatever that weill always be useful to you, during the time that you can't find paid work.
