At 16, I'd recomment a local grocery store.  They are great for first time jobs.  Usually you'll get flexible hours and have people working there the same age as you.

Yeah but what can I do considering the fact that I'm only 16.

you will probabaly only be able to get a job making minimum wage because of your age unless you know somebody who can get you in a good office position or something most states have rules about minors and the hours they are allowed to work per week you can probably do fast food or retail

Have a look in your local newspapers in the job section.  This sometimes works, if not have a look in the shop windows if they are looking for part-time staff.\n\nIt doesn't hurt to ask.  They can only say "No, we're not looking at the moment".

Each place has its own policy..\n\nbut you can get working papers at age 13 (need a health clearance, and parents signiture), and get legal work wherever there's a place offering to hire 13 year olds.\n\nyou could simply tutor kids, or babysit, but you have to have connections (you have to know people who would trust you with their kids)\n\nit's not that hard though.. alot of places hire illigally (burger king :) privatly owned resteraunts) you could tell them to keep you "off the books" and you'll get a job in a heartbeat, (MAKE SURE ITS PRIVATELY OWNED or else you'll just embaress yourself, places like mcdonalds and macys won't approve and will ask you to leave, but your corner grocer or whatever will gladly hire you)

Actually you can get a full time job at 17, especially if you are a high school graduate. Look into college scholarships, you may be able to qualify for some help with school. You may need to work a full and part time job during the summer, and a full time job while taking classes during the school year, but you can do it.\n\nGood luck!

Sorry, i'm 17 and couldn't get a real job this year.  Most places won't hire you until your 18, thats in CA though.  You gotta have connections with someone that has a business

A good reason would be to start saving money for your future education and to start learning responsibility.  Part time work would probably suit your age group better than full time.  You still need to enjoy being 14 instead of 'all work and no play'.\nGood luck!

For your age, the only thing really is food service.\nYou can check local shops like fast food, the mall or even ice cream store or smoothie stores like jamba juice.\n\nYou can see if your parent's company is hiring and you can be a clerk and do filing, but that's a bit boring.

You would not be able to get a proper job at this age \nbut try these\n\nGarden mowing\nPainting fences and walls of neighbours\nDoing small chores of neighbours\nBringing groceries for neighbours\nWashing cars\netc

At 17, your best bet is good old fashion leg work. Go to the various fast food and retail establishments nearby and apply. You can also search the help wanted section of the newspaper, but leg work will probably be the most rewarding. Remember your first impression counts, so dress for an interview even when picking up apps. You could get an interview on the spot if your timing is right. \n\nOther preparation you should do:\n- Prepare a resume. It does not need to be very elaborate, but with a simple word processor, there is no reason you can't create one pretty easily. Take a couple of copies when you gather and return applications and if you get asked to an interview. If you have never held a job before, you can list volunteer work, pertinent after school activities and self employment such as lawn mowing or baby sitting. Under education, list the school you are attending and any awards or achievements you have obtained.\n- Make sure you have written down all the answers you will need for a application. Some places will want you to complete the application on the spot. You should have addresses, employment dates, emergency contact information etc.\n- Ask your parents, a teacher or other adult you trust to look over your resume and to help you practice for interviews.\n\nRemember, job hunting is a job. Make notes of where you have applied. Follow-up. It can be frustrating and can take some time, particularly if you don't have any work experience.

Apply to restaurants as a hostess...you don't have to be 18 for this normally and it gets your foot in the door so that you can later become a waitress if you choose too.\nA grocery store or other store as a cashier.\nDeliver newspapers.\nBabysit.\nOr you could volunteer somewhere you would be interested in working and eventually use the experience you have gained to apply for a job!

Sounds like there is a world of oppurtunity out there for you.  If you are on the bus line and can get yourself to the Mall or a business area, you should do fine.\n\nLook in your local newspaper for jobs as well as sites like Monsterjobs. com which you can do a search by zip code if you don't want to drive far.\nRetail businesses and food service jobs are probably the easiest to jobs to get into at your age but don't let that stop you from applying for any type of job that you think you might be interested in and believe you have the skills to do.\n\nhttp://www.monster.com/

Go to your school guidance counselor and ask for the name of the person at your school who is in charge of connecting students with after-school jobs. It's possible they may know of something you can do from home, like data entry. Bear in mind that even working from home has legal restrictions if you are under 16, like how many hours you can work, etc. It will help if you already have good grades, as most schools frown on students working if their grades need attention. Good luck!

I'm guessing you're too young to get a job (or you wouldn't be asking).  Babysit, mow lawns, go to stores for people, paint or clean houses, wash cars, be a camp counselor or a junior life guard.  There are a few places of business that will hire under 16 - like some ice cream shops.

The only company I know that hires 15 year olds is Kroger Foods.\n\nAnother place to find work would be http://www.workintexas.com and http://www.snagajob.com
