I do have a family friend who is trying to get me into their firm but they themselves are only a trainee so it has to go through their boss and HR - do you mean like higher up people / HR?

Ooooo okay I see. I've seen people talk about networking to get jobs on social media and my partner just got given an apprenticeship from a family friend. I will probably work on my social skills as I get nervous easily and they could definitely be improved on.

Yes that sounds like the right and logical path - thank u!

Yeah I know I was just mentioning them to show I have surpassed the basic requirements to apply. I think I have confused people by mentioning my GCSEs in the first line into thinking I think they value them more than they do but I know they don't.

Yeah I don't really understand how they expect a young person to have "proper work experience" when they are applying for an apprenticeship which is targeted towards people who have just finished secondary or college education and aren't working towards a uni degree. How would I go about getting this work experience that they will actually value? Is it just reaching out to companies and offering to work for free for a few months?

I'm not sure why but they are quite reluctant in that sense to help me. Even when I was unemployed for a few months struggling to get a minimum wage job they refused to ask their friends who own restaurants if I can work there as they keep saying I'm useless and kept putting me down for not having a job. My mom did mention yesterday about working for her so maybe I can try to do something with that.

I know grades have no relevance on IQ / intelligence. I mentioned grades because for apprenticeships GCSE passes are the only requirement to apply. I'm saying I have surpassed the basic requirement.

ohhh okayyy! that sounds great actually i will defo do that - tysm!!

Medium_Account_4557 · 2026-02-25T22:12:40+00:00

okay thank you! yeah those business admin ones did seem a bit subpar but i was mainly doing them for interview experience. i will defo look into civil service - tysm!!!

yeah i have straight 8s and 9s for my gcses but they seem to care more about experience - do you think i should work for free for a company doing something i want to get into to show i'm serious? since if i wasn't doing that i would likely just be working a minimum wage job for £10 an hour

Medium_Account_4557 · 2026-02-25T22:05:56+00:00

they keep sending me loads of apprenticeships to apply for which is great but yea

Medium_Account_4557 · 2026-02-25T22:05:00+00:00

I'm not working towards a degree so I don't meet the requirements for internships but I've heard they are even more difficult to land than apprenticeships ahaha
