Apply for anything and everything and also look into getting an apprenticeship.
Big_Black_Stilo is right about seeing what’s local to you and applying to them.
Personally I wouldn’t put you’re a dyspraxia sufferer on your CV. If you really feel you need to mention it do it in the interview. It might not sound right but anyone skimming through a pile of CV’s and sees 'dyspraxia sufferer' will think what the hells that I have never heard of it and cant be arsed researching it. Then move onto the next CV.
I wish you the best of luck Carl

Good point, but DONT hide the fact if you are asked outright at interview or on an application form.....if they find out you have lied to them it could all turn round and bite you on the arse.
advanced modern apprenticeships are the way forward.
the pay may seem a bit crap for the first couple of years, but you get some decent qualifications, a lot of experience, and payed all the way through.
depends on whether you are greedy and just want a job with max pay, or whether you want a set of life skills and qualifications for a career. If you can get both, of course, then you are a lucky SOAB
i remember when i was looking at my options a bank in my area was looking for ICT technicians, 3 months training and salary starting at £14k going up to £15k in two years. Be worth while seeing if anyone else offers that kind of deal

I worked there when I was 17, so I think the under 18s thing is bull?
I am on a 5 year training programme with a construction company to be a Quantity Surveyor, 1 days uni a week (9-7 though :/) all fees and expenses paid for, paid work for the rest of the time (Including petrol allowance :devil
, so I get experience + money, as well as an honours degree (fingers crossed) at the end of it. 'Guaranteed' job at the end of it, providing I pass etc.I would highly recommend something like this when you finish college, I went basically straight from college to this. In the mean time, its coming up to xmas, so part-time employment will boom soon in retail, PC World, Woolies, Gamestation etc all take on temps this time of year.
Good luck!

I also dont think you should put the dyspraxia on your CV. I know this question is a bit personal, but I also know that the spectrum on dyspraxia is huge...so how badly do you suffer?
My son has it mildly and tbh, it actually makes him highly functioning...but the flip side is that he functions highly, but sometimes at a slightly different angle to the 'norm'.
As he gets older, it becomes less apparent, as he is smart enough to compensate.
So if you are similar, it seems pointless to add it as an almost 'black mark' against your name before you have even introduced yourself. A CV should be to the point and let them make up thier minds once you are face to face and then only brush over it, dont lie, but dont make more of a deal out of it than you need to.
If my son was writing his CV in the future (he's only 8) there is no way that I would advise him to include it.

when i was tested for dyspraxia last year out of the 50 tendencies i was tested for i suffer/ed from 49 and when i got home and looked dyspraxia up on the dyspraxia foundation website out of the hundreds of tendencies listed there were very few i dont suffer/havent suffered from. the reason why i say suffered from is when i was tested i was told i have developed work arounds to overcome the problems. e.g i took up snowboarding which overcame my poor sense of balance.

do you fail at the planning or carrying out stage?
its simple even these delinquents have managed it (kind of)....
big issue
How about the Carling Academy in Brum? or a big concert group like the NEC Group? They've always got jobs on the go and if you like music you'd enjoy that...plus you get to hang around with the lights off and get paid!
