Now- I'm not sure whether this is true about the US or not (I live in Canada)- but sometimes the government (federal) sets up places usually in big cities (so... Denver would probably have one) for teens and young people to find jobs- either with them for the summer, or they know of places that are asking to hire. In Canada basically what happens is that we have this office called the Youth Employment Office- we look at resumes, cover letters.. we'll help you with interview skills, and we have a youth summer employment board of places that are looking for youths for the summer. We also know how to apply to the gov't so you can run your own summer business (and if the states are like Canada- they'll help you pay to start it). Look in your phone book- you may have one.

Since you won't be able to get a real job, do odd jobs for other people. For exmaple, you could babysit or mow lawns if you live in suberbia. But if you live in a city like me, you're way better off working illegally at a store where your friends already work at, doing jobs lke sweeping or something, and they'd pay you themsleves. Or, if you're really pathetic (also like me) grab a guitar, head to the nearest bus/train station and play your heart out.

my first job I applied through the newspaper, 2nd and 3rd jobs were through people I knew. A school counsler or local job market might help as well. Ask around.

Best way to get a job is through connections. Thats what it is all about.  Got any family? cause if you cant rely on others for connections, you have to make your own.  Now, you can't just go out there asking for help, you have to go out there and try to help others, ask the person who you want to be employed by "What can I do to  help you out?"  Then he/she will owe you.  Make friends out of people in the business.  Might take a while but you will not be out of a job for a long while.\nGood luck

Summer camps are the best work for minors.  Otherwise you could try an ice cream shop or babysitting.

I had the same issues for the past 6 years...fortunately I dont have to work but the job market is not very good right now...I would try rewriting my resume and use connections to help with the search.  I dont think its you I think its the market...If those things work then great and if not no worries keep looking...trust me the job market ispoor right now.

You could try the local newspaper office. They are always looking for kids to sell subscriptions, deliver newspapers, or other things. Also, you might want to try a workforce center in your town - they might not be able to help you given your age, but they can point you in the right direction. As for the babysitting thing, why don't you get your mom's permission and hang up flyers at your church (if you go) or at mom/dad's work (if they will allow you to do so)? It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. Keep your head up, you'll get it. Good luck!

Well, talk to your parents first to see if they or someone else can provide you with dependable transportation b/c employers will have that as a top concern.  Then see with restaurants or stores will hire people your age.  You could also babysit or work for a daycare or tanning salon or office or car wash.  Just decide on what is available for you to do and go from their.  Good luck.

I would check the classifieds, especially if there is a college with a paper of their own nearby.  Also, Monster.com and Fastweb.com are very helpful for finding jobs for youth.  Other places to look are retail stores and restaurants (before 18 you can only be a greeter at the front).  I'm not sure of jobs specific to your area, but these are pretty good places to check...good luck!

Perhaps you're not looking in the right places. If you don't have any experience you might not be picked up by the big places right away, but you can definitely find a job. There are usually marketing jobs out there and well paid ones at that.

There probably isn't an easy way, but there are lots of opportunities.  Fast food restaurants hire lots of teens; many grocery stores use teens for baggers.  When I was 16, I sold photographs to the newspapers.  Any kind of work experience will make you feel better about yourself and will enhance your qualifications for future employment.

Maybe your not looking hard enough. Keep looking and keep applying at places. Sombody will hire you. Did you do something extremly wrong (like stealing) at your last job? That will make it hard to find another job because people wouldn't trust you. Good luck!

i also live in metro detroit and have been looking for a couple of months. the job market sucks here right now. i went on an interview the other day and it seems promising. i got the interview through working on a temp project at my husband's place of employment. a lot of other people on the project worked with a temp agency. that's an idea. you can work off and on and make some money while testing out companies. plus, if they are looking for permanent employees, they will consider you and you have an advantage having worked for them temporarily before.

There are a ton of jobs out there, but you need to learn how to spell juveniles in order to get a job working with them.\nCheck out your county employment for starters, but most have to at least have a college degree.

Try McDonald's, or any fast food place. By the way if you are really interested in a job, decide where you want to work. Speak to the manager and negotiate with them. You will volunteer for two-three weeks, and if they are satisfied with your work then they hire you. Good luck with your search.

Not many hire 15 year olds.  Some are grocery bagging jobs and fast food places, but more and more places don't even want to hire people until they are 18, and the ones who do hire teens usually want 16 year olds or older.  You can try going to fast food places or grocery stores and asking.  Good luck with that, if you do.  You should also see if your school is having a job fair or career fair.  Ask your guidance counselor.  If all else fails, go door to door and ask if people would pay you to help clean.  Save money  and get a mower and hedge clippers and expand to doing yard work.  You might also try babysitting.  While you are at it, check to see if any booths at nearby flea markets or small "mom and pop" stores need help.  You could get a job moving boxes or sweeping floors.  I still advise working for yourself, though-- you can make your own hours, for the most part.  Meanwhile, learn about a trade you could do now.  A pair of twin guys from Antiques Roadshow were collecting antiques and re-selling them when whey were kids.  Good luck with whatever you try!
