RT started the Christmas Job Hunt (will be furthermore CJH) with a casual search on the internet for shops I like to shop in. After those didn't have any Christmas temporary positions available 'beggers can't be choosers' came to mind and I widened my search. That included Next, New Look, Asda, Tesco, Sainbury's, Debenhams, Boots, WHSmith's, Claire's, Greggs' and pretty much every other shop in a 15 mile radius of RT's house- none of which were hiring for Christmas. They either didn't have temporary positions for Christmas at all or (even though it was all over their website that they were hiring for Christmas) didn't have any positions available at the shops near me... even though some had outlets in all three locations I was trying.

Redditch, Bromsgrove and Kidderminster are the places RT can get to by bus as 'I'm working' Dad and 'Don't Mum Me' Mum have no intention of driving me. For the last two years RT has been a waitress in a coffee shop which recently decided they were only employing adults because of safety regulations, so RT does have experience! The references I have from work experience were all typed into the many applications I filled out but they meant nothing. CJH is going terribly. RT is not picky, happy to work on boxing day/Christmas Eve etc. has many references but this does not seem to have got me anywhere.

Anyone interested in hiring RT?
