I left school in July 2000. Since then I have had 5 jobs, some which have been very part-time to fit in with full time college but I'm worried that potential employers will think i've had too many jobs.

No, it is common for younger employees to have a fair few 'bitty' jobs before they settle for a particular job/career path, IYSWIM. Use it to your advantage and say you have a broad spectrum of experience

I would be concerned, however, if you were 35 and had loads of jobs. It would say to me that you couldn't stick to anything

Working alongside college shows a good work ethic, imo. Show potential employees that you're not afraid of working hard

Thanks so much for your reply nom! I'm feeling reassured now and as confident as I should be!
