I voluntarily started and run a Facebook page that helps people find local vacancies and employers also post there too. We hit over 40k members this month and I love reading the success stories , it's really worthwhile. The number of mum's mainly that apply on behalf of their kids is mental! Is it just me or should you be encouraging your teenagers to get out and find a wee job for themselves.
Earlier today a mum tagged her daughter in a job advert and the daughter replied with "send my cv" to her mum!
If I was actually recruiting for any of the jobs that would be an instant cv in the bin.
I worked from when I was 15 and always approached local businesses with my crap wee c.v and talked to the manager myself. Always shows initiative. One other guy asked in a pm if his mum could attend an interview for him ? Wtf!
