Most jobs require experience, how can teenagers without experience get a job?

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Most jobs require experience, how can those of us teenagers who have left school get a job when most are asking for experience. Employers aren’t giving us a chance to try. Also the online assessments for jobs, they are ridiculous as it’s the reason we are being rejected, they won’t let us try.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
