    basically I am 19 years old, living in Dublin and never had a full time job before. I am Irish.

    I have some experience (2/4 weeks) working in many different retail & sales jobs for school work experience ect.

    I have a good LC and just completed a business Level 5…

    I apply to many online vacancies as well as left my CV into many many stores…

    I have a good CV, cover letter and references.

    any idea on how I can get a job?

    money or hours is not a problem to me as I just want a role in the world of work.

    any replies are appreciated! thanks :)

    Best advice I have for you is... don't work so hard :) No, seriously, leaving CVs around without talking to someone or saying why YOU are the right person for THAT JOB is not the best way of using your energy.

    Try to talk to managers of retail places or food service establishments when the shop is not screaming busy. Say why you think you would make a good cashier, stock person, line cook, or whatever role you actually think you could do well.

    If you're going for office jobs (and you should; everyone who can read can file or sort mail or make copies), talk first to the receptionist or secretary. They know everything and can tell you what to say and do to impress the boss. By the way don't assume that the well-dressed young lady is the secretary... trust me. :)

    If you know of an opening, take a few minutes to make your CV show why you are the right person for it. You'll be doing this throughout your career. Think about what you know about what makes a good X, and bring those things forward in your CV.

    I'd also say send cvs to some of the recruitment agencies that deal with temps. They will often be recruiting for data entry type projects, not the most exciting roles but an easy way to get 3-6 months solid experience in an office environment under your belt.
