you do realise that anything at or above an F is a pass??
I passed maths with a B and I know that I am not clever enough to be an accountant and I knew that when I was 16, it does not matter how many NVQ courses and training college courses you study at unless a miracle happens you are not going to be a accountant or stock broker earning 100k a year. My cousin got A* in maths, science, and english she is clever and she is now a fully qualified accountant working at a large firm earning lots of money (and spending it just as quick) but I am getting the feeling that there are a lot of people who are over qualified with no job.

Need to take on some new staff and have not got a clue where to start, everyone that works for me has come by word of mouth or actually knocked on my door asking for a job, I recently took on a school leaver for a couple of days a week and he has no common sense and although hes done ok in his exams its as if his heads empty. Our place of business is based in an area with almost zero jobs available but everyone is on benefits and don't want to consider taking a minimum wage job.
I know that i need to avoid the job centre but where do people look for jobs online? : jobsite/ monster? I don't have a clue as I have never had to find a job or hire people for a job. I will consider anyone

There is a job site called inneed, I'll double check when I'm at work. The site looks shocking compared to Monster etc. but it's free to post jobs and they come up on google searches.
Whenever I need more staff now I post a job on there. Get a much better response than the local paper or job centre.
With regards to the lack of common sense, it seems to be a common trait in many youngsters for manual labour jobs. My advice is be brutal, set a short trial period, 3 months or so and if they fail to grasp what you need to do, terminate the trial and look again.

We get about one CV a day - we immediately bin any that don't use a name - it's easy to find on our website!
As for finding people, it completely depends on what job and what level.
