What are you studying? What jobs have you applied for? Do you have any previous experience?

Then your CV needs to show your transferable skills and your cover letter needs to be properly tailored to each position you're applying for. It's no good just lashing out CVs.

For example have you ever played in a team? There's a team work competency.

Also if you don't want people to take the p!ss then don't post in AH, Ask a mod to move it to work and jobs.

What job do you want to organise for you? Your student and part time status limit choices but there are a few roles still on our books.

if you must go to work tomorrow, well if I were you I really wouldn't bother

For there are finer things in life and I should know because I've seen them....but not very often

Self pity isn't going to get you anywhere, you're asking for advice (albeit in an odd place) which means you can't be that dim.

Are you based in an Urban/Rural area?

If you have no experience do you, for instance, have any level of proficiency in another language or some other useful skill?

Mod- Hey Sam, This is the wrong place and frankly this thread is too vague too move. Try starting a thread here in work & jobs where you'll get some good help but be warned. Give more substance than you did here.
