Jobs for 15-Year-OldsIt depends on where you live. Most states require that you have a "work permit" to work and can show that you are able to attend school and work. You may be able to get this at the guidance department of your school. It will usually only allow for a few hours during the day and weekends. Call your local court house and ask them what the requirements are.
Here is more advice:

• Having had my own 3 children start jobs while Freshmen in high school, I can say that many factors play a part of the job hunting experience. First, if you live in a rural area, you might try working for individual ranchers, homeowners, etc. (painting interior/exterior houses, fences; handing out flyers for a local small company; babysitting pets while owners are on vacation; make a property store-front on the road with crafts/foods/projects that you've made etc....be creative). However, if you're a city person, you might try (the admin. office at a Elementary/Jr.Hi/Hi School office; volunteer for the local Parks and Recreation day-time activities[they may even pay you]; typing for a Dr. or Dentist; pruning/mowing/removing trash from neighbors yard; running grocery errands for seniors; Photography for birthdays & special events; etc.) Just remember, regular fast food companies and discount retail stores are worried about their liability until you're 16, so, the rest is up to you; show you have the desire to work and before you know it, you will have people contacting you.

• Babysitting.

• Bagging or stocking job at a local grocery store. Many grocers will hire baggers that are 15.

• They might be a little too young for a job but they might be able to work at a fast food restaurant (e.g. McDonald's or Chick-Fil-A).

• If you are able to work and do not want to work at fast food restaurants, try motels, daycares and lawn services in your phone book.

• Go to a neighbors house and ask if you can help around the house if you do a good job they will recommend you with friends but be courteous and friendly at all times!

• A little ice cream place.

• I know that a son of a friend of mine, that was your age (15), put an ad in the little nickel paper (weekly ads) expressing his interest in earning monies. He received several responses from the ad.

• Try looking at a simple, independent local store rather than a chain. When you turn 16 you will at least have some experience which is good.

• A farm.

• If you know computers you could try programming or being a Web developer, or you could do data processing.

• I got a job in a pub in the kitchen when i was 14, washing up and things. Don't be scared to ask it doesn't get you anywhere!

• Go to your school counselor and talk to them about a job your given application and you will receive back your choice of jobs

Remkes. i know for a fact they will hire you if you are in the area of turning 16. you don't have to be 16 when they hire you....

Legal working age varies from state to state, province to province, and country to country, but the purpose of work doesn't change: to give the worker experience in the field s/he hopes to make his/her area of expertise, and to demonstrate to potential employers that the worker has chosen activities that enhance the worker's employability, skill set, and well-roundedness as an individual. At the age of 15, traditional employment may not be an option or, if it is, often consists of menial tasks: bussing in a restaurant, cleaning rooms in a hotel, babysitting, or newspaper delivery. But even these ventures, undertaken with commitment and diligence, can be profitable and teach a young person many valuable lessons about life and the world of work. From the employer's perspective, the young person's ability to keep the job over time, and not jump from job to job, will be important. As with any job search, proper preparation is key. For a young person, this effort will also be seen to demonstrate initiative, purpose, and drive. For example, prepare a resume to distribute to employers. For a young person, this will emphasize what you do outside school: sports, recreation, volunteer work, internet use (do you have a Blog, run a BBS, participate in online communities?). An opening statement at the top of your resume, called 'Statement of Objectives,' is also important since it will tell the potential employer where you hope to go and what you hope to become. Many online services exist to help you create your resume, or go to the public library where you can research this topic. At this time, do not create a cover letter, since a young worker should deliver his/her resume in person and be prepared to talk to the potential employer face to face. Deliver the resume in person because a young age and lack of experience may be an immediate deterrent to any job offer and only a personal appearance (which may include an on-the-spot interview, so be prepared) can offset this drawback. Thus, proper dress (no blue/torn jeans or bare midriff) is also critical. Prepare answers to these questions for each employer you approach: tell me a bit about yourself? why do you want to work here? why should I hire you? Finally, talk to every adult you know: teachers, coaches, friends of parents/guardians. Let them know you want a job, and give them some copies of your resume. Most jobs are found this way and it can be a good first lesson in the power of networking. These steps should lead to successful employment. Good luck. I am a 17 year old from NY and I actually started working at the age of about 14. I started doing landscaping for an apartment complex, then I started learning construction work, all phases of Plumbing electrical hvac painting, renovations, masonry, sheetrocking and everything else, from a contractor i started working for at the age of 15. Now i work for another apartment complex, where i have worked for 3 years in the office and 1.5 years as a maintenance technician. So yes...if you put all you have into your job, remain dedicated from the start and also reliable, you will be one of those few teens that actually want to work, and make a diference while working. Plus it gets better. I still remain employed by all of these companies. And on my own time, when I am not working for another company, I run a major handyman and renovations service. It never ends, but is completely worth it. Burger Flipper v. Certified Maintenance Technician........ Thats a easy choice for me.............

Answer 5

Well.....most states require you to be 16 and have good grades in school. If this is the case, you will need to obtain a work permit from your school and present it to your future employer. If you do not retain grades your permit will be taken and you will lose your job.

Jobs for 15-year-olds

In many, if not most, states, businesses will not hire anyone under 16 years old. That means that job possibilities for 15-year-olds are scarce because you have to look elsewhere. Some jobs 15-year-olds can do is babysit, mow grass, shovel snow, rake leaves, do errands for neighbors, etc. Those are the types of jobs you should try to get, and the place to look is people who live in your area.
