I don't have a job for you sadly. I wish you luck with the search. But this site gives you some idea of how to go about becoming an interpreter - this qualification is required to work as an NHS interpreter, for example, but you need to have certain other experience/qualifications to do it. So it might give you somewhere to start planning the future.

Don't work for companies for free. They will take advantage of you and it makes them rely on people looking for experience. Instead of hiring a full time employee they just keep hiring people who work for free. Doing voluntary work at a charity is a much better way to go.

If you like helping people with English it might be worth looking at teaching English as a foreign language. Doing a tefl course would let you do this.

Good luck with your seach and I hope you find something you like.

Thank you Chirs.I will defiently think about tefl.I did apply as a English teacher in Dubai but they said you are so young.I hate that when everyone says to me you are young and have no experience,How i get experience if no one give me a proper trainig and then full time job.Lets see i put add on gumtree as well so maybe finger cross

TEFL is good, but I wouldn't suggest it's a career... more something to do for a short time - generally overseas....

If you're interested in teaching, you could check out Teaching Assistants, who help in classrooms. So, there is training to undertake but it would be a good step to a profession and I understand from a friend who has recently done it, that there is work out there in this area.

Here is a job for an English teacher in east London. It will give you some experience and you don't need any qualifications to join.

Applying on line is very tricky Yasir, I'm pretty sure if you're not one of the first, say 20 ,applications they receive they do not bother with you.

I think its always good to "dress up" take a load of cv's and copies of qualifications and ID with you and walk into bars/ restaurants/ anywhere else you can think of. Not in their rush hour- but at a slightly quieter time. If you can establish first when the manager will be in, then even better.

Good luck.

If you feel like you can commit and are interested I have volunteered for Beanstalk charity which gives good training, pays any expenses, and is to volunteer to help children learn to read. In London, many of the children with problems are those who do not speak English as a first language , and you may be a valued volunteer. You could use this as a stepping stone to something else, and it might fit in with an evening job rather well.
