Being 18 doesn't make you more expensive, lol..! You're talking about the difference between 16, 17 and 18. That's pennies for most companies...

What I meant was, you'll find that a lot of companies are laying off people that have been with them for many years. These people cost a lot, and are easily replaced by people who will get basic starting salaries...

Gamesation was in mainly Croydon, outskirts of London.

During the summer, I generally work in the City (central London). This summer, I worked near London Bridge for Lloyds Register. I worked in the IT department.

As for the other stuff, it's in France... Outskirts of Paris...

oh and btw, 20 failures isn't that bad... some of my friends apply to about 60 jobs to be able to get one or two interviews... You even sometimes have to apply more than once. Especially in retail. They're terrible with paper CV's and application forms. Most of them won't even get a proper look!
