I agree with Barmaid, I've done all kinds of part time jobs (or full time in holidays when I was a student) and got most of them by just going in and asking.
Well this is a posh hotel, ana apart from a couple of shops its the only employer in the village so lots of people will be after it and anyway give it up, i've said I can't get it there so please shut up about it.
Barmaid that goes for you to, apart from a couple of shops i'd have to go all the way into the nearest town, where even more people are after the jobs!
Oh for goodness sake Molly, this is an advice site, you come on and ask and people give advice which you mainly seem to ignore or argue back against, what is the point really? If you don't want the answers, don't ask the questions.
You won't get very far with that attitude and there is really no need to be rude to Barmaid who was only trying to help, that was uncalled for.
Things won't neccesarily come easily to you in life even.
Sometimes the best way of destressing is tackling the problems you can do something about and solving them, not just looking for a diversion, hence people's suggestions.
