Oof, I remember that pain. emotion_facepalm
I'm not sure how it is in NZ, but here in the states, it's not very common for places to hire somebody fresh out of high school for a full-time (40+hrs./week) position.
Don't let that deter you, though! There are definitely jobs out there! You just gotta track 'em down. emotion_dowant
When I was just out of high school and I was looking for my first job, my pride made things a bit harder on me because I had decided from the start that I would never work fast food unless things that very, very bad for me. It took a few weeks of looking but I managed to find a local thrift store that was hiring. c:
I mainly looked at jobs in retail, but if I was much of a people person IRL I probably wouldn't have minded waiting tables at a restaurant, either. One of my friends in HS worked as a waitress during the weekends in our senior year and there were some nights where she would bring home, like, $200 USD (~$304 NZD) in tips alone. lol
It's been a while since I last put together a resume or had an interview (it'll be my 2nd year at my current job at the beginning of March), but if you have any questions, just let me know. c:

Tbh I really don't want to work in fast food. Not because I think that it's a job that's below me, because I don't, but because I would NEVER be able to work in a hot environment like that when I already have so many health problems and fainting issues x.x I really just want a role in customer service. Ugh I would love to work in a thrift store x.x
Retail is my passion, especially clothing chains, so I definitely want a job in retail x.x I've had a previous programme job in a clothing store and I loved it, plus I have my qualification in customer service so I do a good job of it. OMG I would also love to work as a waitress tbh x.x I love working one on one with people and conversing with them.
Thanks boo heart
