Trying to find job for 15 yr. old?
404030
My son had the same problem at age 15 and he found two elderly couples at the church who enjoyed their gardening but couldn't do the heavy work in the yard.  So for the entire summer he worked in their yards with them at a reasonable pay.  They were able to enjoy their gardening on a different level and he made a handsome paycheck plus he reaped the benefits of their experience in life.  it truly was a terrific situation.  \nHe, also, gave guitar lessons to very young children for a fraction of the cost of a professional teacher.  Parents were eager to hire him because when their 10 year old wants to learn guitar, it was a cheaper alternative to see if they really have the interest.  He financed his entire high school life with these two jobs and never had to work at a fast food restaurant.\nSee what you have to offer to people and use it.  Soccer lessons for little ones, musical lessons for little ones, afternoon reading to little ones, check out your local church  and see if there are any elderly folks in need of your services or elderly housing-these folks pay a very high price for chores that you could do for them at a better price and make quite a bit of money for yourself.  During the school year you could tutor little ones in their home.  \nThe other job that both of my children did when they were younger was pet sit for people who went on vacation and didn't want to board their animals.  My kids would go to their house,(the pets were happy about that) and feed and play with them.  \nGood luck

look under employment on their web-page. Most places hire provided you have working papers, but you may not be able to work after 9pm or full time. Sucks for a kid looking for summer employment.

Actually yes it is possible to get a job at the age of 17. If you seriously want to earn some cash you basically have 3 options if you can't find anyplace that will hire anyone younger than 18.\n1. baby-sitting (yes its a classic i know)\n2. yard work\n3. house cleaning\nThese 3 options usually mean your own little buisness. If you don't want to do those then try looking online for some jobs. For example, snagajob.com, monster.com, etc. or you can even look at the websites of places you want to apply at online. (Some stores do have it to where you can apply online.) For instance, albertsons.com, tomthumb.com, walgreens.com, etc. Or you can do it the old fashioned way, walking in and asking for an application. Oh btw if you go into a place that your wanting to ask for the application, make sure you dress nice (not fancy nice but like jeans and a nice shirt nice) bcuz some places already know whether or not they'll hire you by the way you dress. so that ol' saying "dress for success" wasn't kidding. ok well i hope this helped. if you need anymore sites or anything you can email/IM me. ttyl!

Be a server.  Since you are only 15, it will have to be somewhere that does not serve alcohol.  It is the best money you will make.\n\nGrocery stores are fun too.  I would never do fast food.

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

For teens, 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.

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.

Apply any place that you can.  Try going to some employment agencies, they can usually find work for people pretty quickly.

Try asking your local school if they have any work programs for youth in my city we have a program called SPEEDY , (Summer Program Employment Education Department for Youth) you could always consider getting a job at a summer camp as a CIT (Counselor in Training). Good Luck \n\nOr you can make signs and offer to babysit that worked for me when I was 14.

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.

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!

Try posting your resume on one of the online services. Try networking with friends and relatives to help you with leads. I hope that's a good start for you!
