First of all this question has nothing to do with animation. Market Basket is an equal oppertunity employer that hires all 15+ people. That would be your best choice because they have a very competitive starting wage. Pay is $7/ph and a $.25 raise every 6 months. Good luck!

Based on your question, I assume you live in Shreveport, and if so, start with the employment section, of your local news paper. And another source, is an employment agency. But unless things have changed, you're too young, for employment. The last time I checked, you had to be 16 to be considered, for a job. But who knows, anything is possible.

How about getting a part time job?

Alright, if you are fifteen or younger, forget about anything other than a paper route or an allowance. 16-18, there are plenty of admin jobs like file clerk, mail room, or secretary type stuff (this is of course assuming you do not want to be a janitor).  Post HS, using the skills you learned in the mail room, you can work yourself into another co., or into another position.\nThe main thing is to just get a part-time job at any company where you have a shot at moving up, which will happen sooner than you think.  Once you are in, yer in, ya know.  Best of luck!

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.

Yeah, McDonalds.  Generally speaking, 17 year olds can't get good jobs.  So I would try restaurants and retail.  They are pretty much always looking for people.  You should work on your grammer if you want to represent yourself well in an interview:  its "Does anyone know....?", not "Do".

What a refreshing change! A teenager asking to work! Laws are pretty specific as to what your age range can be employed doing. Check with your local unemployment office for any openings that would allow your age. As a teenager I did the mundane (but profitable!)jobs a "country" kid could do..picked vegetables, washed cars, mowed grass, babysat my parents friends kids (be sure you can handle that kind of responsibility first and take a course in CPR and first aid usually available through the American Red Cross or American Heart Association and some 4H clubs--THIS IS A MUST), I have 5 kids, and of those, 3 teenagers. My 15 year old son talked with some of his favorite teachers and one recommended him for a job at a gym that offers a kids program. He basically helps the kids in the "kids area" and does a lot of cleaning up after birthday parties. Try talking with adults you know and TRUST. Good Luck!

You should be able to work almost anywhere at 15-1/2.  Just don't work at a clothing store or in retail.  You get minimum wage because it's a "cool" job, and you'll end up recycling your money on clothes you wouldn't have bought w/o the mediocre discount you get.  Restaurant work is the best, and a lot of restaurants tip positions like host, carryout, etc. (Try to chains and work your way up)

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!

Usually, you can work for a family member or a family business at any age. If you need some cash, maybe you could babysit or mow lawns.  If you're just bored, try volunteering at your local library. Once you have volunteer experience, you'll be more likely to get a job later on, when you're old enough to get a work permit.

You would not be able to get a proper job at this age \nbut try these\n\nGarden mowing\nPainting fences and walls of neighbours\nDoing small chores of neighbours\nBringing groceries for neighbours\nWashing cars\netc

Apply to restaurants as a hostess...you don't have to be 18 for this normally and it gets your foot in the door so that you can later become a waitress if you choose too.\nA grocery store or other store as a cashier.\nDeliver newspapers.\nBabysit.\nOr you could volunteer somewhere you would be interested in working and eventually use the experience you have gained to apply for a job!

Here are some suggestions:\n-Grocery Store Bagger/ Caryout\n-Fast Food (McDonalds, Wendys etc.)\n-Independently owned businesses (Mom & Pop stores will usually hire young people as cashiers, stockers etc., )\n-Newspaper Carrier\n-Restaurant (Dishwasher etc.)\n\nALSO try the carts at a mall, those little specialty shops in the main hall, those are owned by ordinary schmoes, who usually need some help.\n\nSTART WITH ONE OF THESE JOBS, and when you become 16 and 18, you have work experience at a job, and you could start out as a secretary or something else. If  secretary is not your career path, your computer skills wont get you far as a teenager. I am 14 myself and have taken computer classes at HS, but an office wont hire at 14, so I got a job today at wendys, therefore I will have my feet wet in the world of work.

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.

Most people don't hire at that age with out a work permit. But you could try a bus boy or girl or something. Good luck.
