Where can a 15-yr old find a job?

Answer 1

Best bets:

- call up to find out who organises local paper dilivery / money collection

- check out supermarkets, they usually train and hire a lot of teens

- check at small businesses or shops (not usually family-run stores)

- check the classifieds in the newspaper

- mow lawns or ask family friends for odd jobs

- find something seasonal eg. picking apples or grapes

- Pizza or takeaway stores

- design web sites over the internet for payment (my little bro did this at 15 and made a killing >.< not fair)

- check at restaurants for dish washers etc

NOTE: Make sure it is a job you wouldn't mind sticking at for a few years. At your age, DO NOT choose night-fill (restocking shelves at supermarkets). Also, choose a casual job, they give you the most leniency and are best for starters, and you can change your employment later if necessary.

Answer 2

Several ways including * Looking in the job centres * Looking in magazines/newspapers/online (<-----be careful with online vacancies) * Ask friends and family if they know of any vacancies * Visit your local Connexions centre or visit their website if you are between 13-19 * Look for vacancies on boards in supermarkets * Advertise yourself (do not give personal details unless necessary, and if you do, tell a parent) in shop windows * Help out around the house (chores)
