My dad worked in a restaurant and a hotel, He said it was a nightmare and that i should try and avoid them if i can.
As for a Taxi licence, I cant drive yet. And to get driving lessons i need money, and to get money i need a job

Unfortunatly i have pretty much been a net potato
The only past experiance i have is being a paper boy around 6 years ago. However, the advice you have given me is MUCH appreciated. Thanks for taking the time out to help.

I didnt think about asking them to give me a few weeks on trial. That Seems a good thing to try. Like i said in my first post i have email a few places and none of them have emailed back. Phoning and asking for a 'Trial' may be a great Idea.

My Mum works with BUPA healthcare looking after people with Dimentia (sp). Voluntary work there may be possible, but again like i said im 17 and i need some money for going out / driving lessons etc, But if need be i feel voluntary work may be a good idea. Thanks for The Nice words and i too hope i get a job very very soon.

Funnily enough, my friend who was in my old college class says the next computing course starts in August. I loved college so much i wish i never left. So im very tempted to go back, Even if i done voluntary work from now till august that would be something for my CV. By The Way - I hope everything works out for you too. Good luck.
Once again, Thanks for all the info & Replys.
