You're 22, but you don't have any experience in working...? What the hell? v.v'... Well, this isn't the time to be picky! Look in newspaper ads for work or get applications from restuarants/fast food places. Try out for maybe Borders (great ambiance, my fave store) or Jamba Juice (yum!) or something of the sort.

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.

You dont have to have connections. Go to either a Temp agency or your local Dept. of Labor and they will for sure find you a job.

Wow Richard, Sounds as if you've got alot going for you.  I live in California, and we have a program called One Stop Employment.  It is for 17-24 year olds.  Check your city and see if they have a similar program.  Another place you could start is the Councelor at your High School.  They shold be able to provide you with some good referals.  You might even ask if you can help in the school office.  I know we are always looking for help.  Or, what about Parks & Recreation, or City Hall.  All are great places to begin your search.

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.

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!

It depends on how under-aged you are. Some places around here hire summer help at 14 years old. You could always offer to do housework for friends and family. You don't want to go up to people you don't know, but it is generally safe to assume that your parents wouldn't direct you somewhere unsafe. \nYou could clean, rake leaves, shovel...\nYou could also get a paper route. They hire real young for that. Our paper boy is like 8.

I'm not really familiar with the education levels you mentioned, but I would suggest that you might want to apply to Baruch College, http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/--the business branch of City University of New York.  Your practical background in IT might be of interest.  I wouldn't worry about your age.  Many students in US colleges and CUNY in particular are a bit older than "college age."  You might well find work in IT in the city.  As to cost, NY is an expensive place to live, but Baruch is relatively inexpensive.  You could live in one of the "outer" boroughs--Queens or Brooklyn--where apartments are a little less expensive and where there are subways to take you into Manhattan.  The neighborhoods of Sunnyside and Woodside in Queens come to mind as possible places to live.  I believe that if you are accepted, CUNY may be able to help with or at least guide you as to how to get a visa.

go to the small local bookstores, and talk to the owner...let them know you are very interested and if one of their new hires does not work out to call you.  Most of the big chains are full...but you might luck out in one of the small stores....\nin the bay area find one of the really out of the way places...not a tourist area...and look there.  Most teens look at the malls during the holidays for part time employment...couldn't hurt.\nGood luck!

If your 16 and need a job, there a lots of ways to go out and look for a job. You could just go walk into to a place and ask if there hiring. You could look on- line. The best thing to do though is to look in the newspaper, call ahead for a meeting, then amaze them! The most important thing of all is to act like you really want the job, AND DONT BE SHY!

You could try the area laundromats ...they might hire under the table. I think you should be able to get a permit though and get a part time job at the zoo and take a bus to work.

In my opinion you are better off looking for job around town instead of on-line.  Many companies would like extra summer/after school help but do not advertise.  Talk to business owners around town and see how you can help them out.  If you are good with computers explain to them how you can help them with their computer needs.  Maybe they are wanting a website created or help with computer configuration.\n\nJust stop by a business and ask to talk with the owner.  You'll be surprised on how receptive people are.

Your best bet is to call around because usually most places hire at age 16, but some will hire you at 15. Try grocery stores, restaurants, retail stores, fast food restaurants. If these don't interest you, you could mow lawns over the summer for people in your neighborhood or you could babysit.

Try calling some local landscaping companies and see if they'd like some summer help.  Or you could just ask your friends and neighbors if they would like you to mow their lawn, wash their car, etc.  Maybe also look into painting fences and houses?  If you find one house in need of painting, it could keep you emplyed for nearly the whole summer, and you won't have to work when it rains.
