DS1's school told the kids to write to businesses or ask adults that they know for a job which I thought was not very appropriate advice. I haven't got any local contacts plus ds1 is an academic all rounder who has no idea about future careers (which I thought was normal).
After practicing interviews for the last couple of evenings, today ds1 went to the local shopping centre armed with his CV and sorted out a work placement plus 2 summer holiday placements. (he had some knock backs too)
I have looked on FB and other people seem to be working at more specialised places like school, law firm and dental practice.
What sort of places are your y10s working at? Was I harsh making ds1 go into the shop and ask the manager for work directly?
