I'm not sure about search engines, but your best bet is probably to go CV-dropping on your high street, or in your nearest city. Most retail shops, restaurants, cafes and so on will be hiring in staff to cover the busy Christmas period.
If you prove yourself to be reliable and conscientious you will have a good chance of being kept on after the Christmas rush too. Just go and drop your CV in to as many shops as you can mange, fill in the application forms they have, and wait for them to get in contact with you.
As you're only 16, I believe there is a limit on the amount of hours you can do, and search engines tend to be designed for people looking for full time positions, or those who have some form of qualification.

Ah. In that case, tell them your predicted grades. They're normally not far off the mark. It might be helpful to have a reference from your school, they're likely to want you to have a referee to back you up.
