Grades say how someone did in an exam on a particular day. They don't say whether you're reliable, good with people or happy to graft. Someo never asks about them.

Plenty of work doesn't need qualifications
Many roles are learned on the job: hospitality, retail, warehouses, cleaning, care, labouring and lots more. What places in these jobs care about is whether you turn up, get on with people and want to learn.
On Someo every role comes with training, and places see your character, not your certificates.
If you'd like qualifications later
Working and learning can go together. If you're 19 or over and don't have English or maths at GCSE grade 4 (a C), you can usually study them for free at a local college or adult learning centre. Apprenticeships are another way to earn while you get a qualification.
If you're 16 or 17 in England, you need to stay in some kind of education or training until you're 18. That can be part-time alongside work.
You don't owe anyone an explanation. If it comes up when you meet a place, keep it short and move on to what you're good at, or say you'd like to pick up qualifications as you go. Plenty of people do.
Open on Someo, no grades asked
Nothing is open this minute. Places on Someo can still find you and say yes without a role advertised, and they'll never ask for your grades.
Nothing advertised? You can still meet places.
Most places don't advertise until they're desperate. On Someo they don't have to. A place can set up, see who it overlaps with and say yes to you before it has listed anything, and you can tell a place you'd like to work there. When you both say yes, a conversation opens.
Questions people ask
Can I get a job without GCSEs?+
Yes. Lots of jobs are learned on the job and don't ask for GCSEs. On Someo every role comes with training and grades never come into it.
Does Someo ask about my grades?+
No. Someo asks about you: what you enjoy and how you like to work.
Can I get qualifications while I work?+
Often, yes. Apprenticeships combine work and study, and adults without English or maths at grade 4 can usually study them for free.
I'm 16 or 17. Can I just work?+
In England you need to stay in education or training until 18, but that can be part-time alongside 20 hours or more a week of work or volunteering, or an apprenticeship.
