WITH a drive for work, this Grimsby girl landed her first job in a factory aged 16.
Now, Sanchia Carroll, 21,is on the hunt for a new job after being unemployed for the past two years.
She left Matthew Humberstone School with six GCSEs and felt college was not the route for her.
Instead, she sought work through an agency and was given her first job at Young's, in Humberstone Road, Grimsby.
Sanchia was there for three months as work became limited and was eventually laid off.
But this didn't dampen her determination and she moved on to a cleaning role at the former Humberston Country Club.
Now she is looking for a new position, and one advantage is her eligibility for the Wage Incentive Scheme, set up by the Government to help young people into work.
"I am looking for any type of work that can offer me about 30 hours a week," she said.
"I have been searching but it is very hard at the moment and most places want someone experienced. I am a good learner and I am willing to get stuck in with things.
"Bar work is what I have looked at most recently, but nothing has turned out for me."
She told how it is disappointing when she applies for jobs and doesn't hear back from the company or is unsuccessful.
Remaining positive, she said: "I just keep looking around and applying, hoping someone will finally hire me.
"I rent a house in Grimsby so it's hard at the moment with the lack of income. Paying the bills is difficult.
"I attend the JobCentre once a week to keep checking their vacancy lists."
Call the JobCentre Plus on 01472 622357 if you are interested in employing Sanchia, and getting a subsidy from the Government to do so.
