Teenagers are being encouraged by the government to take up a job during the summer holidays to “complement” their education and prepare themselves for the workplace in the post-Brexit world.

From working in a fish and chip shop to helping out in an office, we would like to hear about your summer jobs. How did you end up spending your school holidays? How did a summer job shape your outlook on the world of work? Did your holiday job help carve out a career path?
