    I'm really sruggling to find a summer job. I'm a 16 year old boy I'd like to try my arm at anything really but no where are calling me back I've no experience or anything. Does anyone no specific places not general ones like 'a supermarket' that would hire an inexperienced 16 year boy for the summer or even a weeks?

    I think at your age, you'd need to know someone within the company/supermarket etc. that could put in a good word for you.

    Or get to know the managers in your local shops etc and let them know you're available and enthusiastic.

    How do you think I should let managers know I'm available and enthusiastic without being annoying and constantly trying to hand in cvs?

    Sometimes you have to be slightly annoying! To a certain extent, it might be embarrassing at the start but if you hand in a CV and they tell you they have nothing at the moment, make sure they have your phone no./email address and call back in a week or so.
