This won't be the answer you want but it's my best advice to you.  Wait until summer or until you're closer to 16.  The labor laws in most states are so restrictive on what hours you can work and what you're allowed to do that very few places will even look at your application.  Fast food isn't even the answer anymore.  My suggestion to earn money for now would be small jobs for neighbors (yard work, babysitting, etc.) or possibly tutoring if school is something you're good at.  Good luck!

Most fast-food places hire 15 year olds. But it depends where you live. For example, I live in california and you can get a job at an amusement park and a Chuck E Cheese type place. Most clothing shops in malls will have you wait until you're a senior in high school to work there.

You can work at 15 with a work permit.

hello, i really like your question. this was the same question i had at your age i am 19 and i started earning at the age of 14 itself. the best way you can earn is on your computer with your creative mind. There are several websites which pay you a lot for typing and making small projects and some creative works like Jewelly desinging, All it takes is your hardwork and creative mind...Thanks hope you like my answer

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.

Try your High school, or one around your area. Most businesses who are looking for teens give the applications to High schools hoping to recruit students that way. You could always try working at the mall or an amusement park, or maybe even a restaurant, those places are usually pretty flexible. However to be completely honest with you it is highly unlikely a business will hire you. Most places won't do it for insurance purposes. Enjoy the summer while you still can. In any case I hope you find a job if that is what you really want. Keep looking, keep asking, and someone will hire you.

1)Figure out where you can live and travel to-define where.\n2)Figure out when you can work.\n3)Write a resume-www.microsoft.com has some online that you just change to fit you.  Maybe someone can help.  Having a piece of paper with references and the addresses of your schools and everything REALLY HELPS applications. Also have a nice black pen and a sharp pencil along, and BE ON TIME if there is any appointment.\n4)Then apply anywhere you can reach.  It helps if you have a feel for what you like to do-like child care or retail.  \n5)Concentrate  on one field, like child care, or retail stores, restaurants in a week and blanket them with applications. \n6)Apply on Monday and Tuesday mornings, except restaurants do the after lunch application.  You want to meet the boss when he/she is available to talk and worried about the schedule. Friday at 5 Pm is usually not productive.\n6)This summer the job market is very tough for 18 year olds.  You see their parents working the fast food lanes.  Go to your town hall and see if there are "job programs" in your area, or "temp help people". \n7) EXPERIENCE is better than nothing.  Volunteer at the hospital or Habitat for Humanity or the public school if you are interested in working in those kind of fields. If you cook everyday for the salvation army, maybe you can get a cook job. Think about it.

Just go around to different places where you want to work and ask if they're hiring.  Even if they don't have a job available right then you can leave your resume with them and they might call you when they need someone.\n\nAlso, you can check the newspaper and ask around with your friends' parents and so forth.\n\nFinally, some ambitious teenagers create their own jobs.  Perhaps there's a service you know how to perform that your neighborhood needs.

Ahh, the good old days...just kidding! Actually, I can't legally get a job yet either. Babysitting is an EXCELLENT way to earn money, as long as you're responsable. Taking a babysitting course (I did) can improve your chances of finding a family that will accept you. Also, doing odd jobs for older neighbors perhaps...shoveling, raking, planting flowers, and other things they can't do. Good luck! (and don't loose hope, you'll be 16 before you know it!)

Sadly, you are only 15 and no work experience. I think you will only be offered jobs that you'd rather not do but take any job ,gain work experience and move on. Things will work out for you but it may take awhile. Good Luck!

Grocery stores, small shops, and a few fast food or pizza places hire 15 year olds nation-wide.  However, I could help you a lot more if you specify what state or region.

I see 5 options:\n1) Garage sale (yard sale)\n2) Sell your stuff on eBay\n3) Take an equity loan on your house\n4) Apply for unemployment compensation or general assistance from Social Services Department in your county.\n5) Check out temporary jobs, such as construction, cleaning, help people who move, or put ads/newspapers on people's yards/doorsteps/doorhandles and mailboxes.\nMcDonalds and other fast foods are also always hiring.

Your 16 year old should be able to get a job without too much trouble...either waitressing, fast food or sales clerk.  She can also do any of those listed below.\n\nIn many states, you can not be formally employed before the age of 15. I lived in Michigan for 8 years and you do have to be 15 there.  But the 14 year old can still do:\na paper route\nmow lawns for others\nshovel snow in winter\noffer a dog walking service \nbabysitting\nhousecleaning

As a teen, 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.
