Check the local paper(s) in the classified section. Walk around in the area where you want to work. Look for help wanted signs. If you don't see a sign but would like to work in a particular place talk to the boss and express an interest. Ask if you can fill out an application or leave your number. Tell everyone you know that you are looking for a job. Some towns have organizations that help teens get work experience. If you are in school, ask your counselor to help you. Use the internet to find a job and to put out a resume. If you have friends with good jobs, ask them how they got their jobs. Ask them if they have any suggestions for you. If you are persistent and optimistic and let prospective employers know what you have to contribute, you will find or create the perfect job. Creating a job is about going into business for yourself or with friends offering a needed service. The world is your oyster. Make a pearl.

some fast food restaurants will hire at 14.\nAsk at Mcdonalds, I have heard that some of their stores hire very young people.\n\nI am attaching my response to a previous poster who was 13. You have an advantage, because there are more options for a 14 year old than a 13 year old, but most of the suggestions can still be helpful.Mostly it will be "create it yourself" kind of work. Actual employment for anyone under 14 in the US is unlikely. The restrictions for employees 14-16 cause many potential employers to choose not to employ young people. \n\nSo put on your "thinking cap" and look around you community to find tasks that need to be done, that you think people might pay you to do. Make them an offer a job for a price. Be very business-like and professional, in your appearance, and your conduct, all the time, not just when you are asking them to hire you. You would be amazed at what impressions you make while you are just going about your every day business. Ask people that you have worked for succesfully to give you written references. Ask them if others may call them to ask about the work you did. Offer good references to potential employers to show them that your performed the jobs you were hired to do and gave your customers always more than you agreed to. Always remember to perform beyond the call of duty. It is far better to surprise a customer with more and better work, than to EVER dissapoint one. \n\nCreate your own business. Maybe do this with a friend, and share the jobs. If you get two calls to babysit on a Saturday, instead of having to turn one down, you can each take one, and build up your customer loyalty at the same time. If customers know that when they call you for a job, that even if you cannot take that job, that you can provide someone else to take the job, they will keep your number at the top of their list for future needs. \n\nHave some inexpensive business cards printed with your contact information and very little else. You may change the services you offer, so it is best not to get too specific on the cards because they will likely last a long time. Develop a file of references, both letters from former customers, and people who have agreed to be contacted to verify your work quality.\n\nBe sure to keep records of who pays who for what. If you buy supplies for your business, keep reciepts. Ask your parents for help in this record keeping. If you borrow money to get started, be sure to pay it back.\n\nBest wishes! You can begin your life as an entrepreneur now.

The McDonalds by my house has a sign that says "Hiring 15 years olds", try your local McDonald's. But you can only work limited hours due to age, school. I think some car washes, skating rinks, movie theaters, grocery stores, swimming clubs (concession stands) hire 15 years old. Good luck.

Most of the bigger N.A. companies such as Wal-Mart and McDonald's have cradle-to-grave entry level jobs.  If a comapny hires teens, it will also hire you.\n\nGood luck!

There are decent jobs everywhere you just have to look for them instead of asking strangers. Go to your local county unemployment office and apply there. Watch newspaper ads and some of the temp services so you keep abreast of all of them.

nah buddy. If you young or resource limited(car, skills, etc) then choose walking distance to local stores then apply to all you can. Best place if you have a ride (ya own, friend, mom, or cheap ole bus) then go to the local unemployment office. Its not just a funny place, but actually has hundreds of jobs there.  They will find you a job u are qualified for whether no experience or limited skills. Staffing companies in the phonebook work similar. Also check monster.com or hotjobs from yahoo.com  Best jobs for entry level is customer service jobs, walmart, or hard labor with home improvement companies.  Try improving your skills to get better pay. Microsoft word, excel, and typing skills will getcha a nice job thru staffing companies.

I job will not just come to you - you have to make an effort to look for one.\n\nPosting to job and career sites is a start.\nSo is asking others for tips on jobs that match your career interests: ask them who is hiring in particular fields. Ask for pointers, and references as applicable.\n\nThat will get you closer to landing a job.\nIn US, it is illegal for an employer to ask someone's age, so you don't need to volunteer that info. In other countries, ask around for what is customary and appropriate.

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.

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.
