Well, to tell you the truth, a 14 year old won't find a really good job. But when you turn 15 you can apply at Chick-Fill-A, they hire at 15, and so does Sonic!! Good luck!! I'll look for other places and answer if I find one!!

Well some businesses (I think Kroger) will hire fourteen year olds as the minimum hiring age.

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!

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.

You should check with the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, or contact the human resources department of a business to best find the answer to this question.

just keep checking back with McDonalds. they usually go through a lot of employees because some people decide they don't like it after a few weeks, some even after a few days. and try applying to other fast food places around there. you might also be able to get a seasonal job at the mall. I don't know how it works where you live though. a lot of laws vary state to state.

My daughter is a manager at payless in Indiana. I dont know if they have an age limit though i think the states limit is 16. However in most cases younger people are so unreliable that they even have trouble keeping college kids working. They couldnt possibly have a person your age be alone in the store due to the stores insuance. Most Payless stores only hire people who have a work record  and have already been proven capable and honest with money. The burger chains all hire teens, grocery store baggers and so on. Get some experience behind you, and maybe in a couple of years Payless will give you a try. good luck

Because of federal and state child labor laws, minors under age 14 are generally not allowed to work. In the state of Ohio, the minimum age of employment is 14. You cannot work legally in Ohio at the age of 13. When you're 14 or 15, there are some jobs you can get, but you need to get a work permit and you are limited in how many hours you can work, especially when school is in session (no more than 3 hours per day and 18 hours per week during school weeks and you can't work at all between 7 p.m and 7 a.m.).

You can't generalize this. Every company, every hiring situation can be different. If they need someone ASAP, then they'll move quickly. If not, it could be days, it could be weeks.

LOL.\n\nClubs in Cincy?  Ummm this is a conservative town....its why as they open...then they close.\n\nThen add in being 17...your luck runs dry.  Look around at the malls, Kmart parking lot, etc and you'll see your age group just hanging out w/ their cars.

unfortunately nothing... you are never guaranteed a job no mater what your age... and the min wage laws are different for every state but what I have heard is that if you are under 16 there is a different wage because you can not do the full job of someone over 16.

some fast food restaurants will hire at 14.\nAsk at Mcdonalds, I have heard that some of their stores hire very young people.\n\nI am attaching my response to a previous poster who was 13. You have an advantage, because there are more options for a 14 year old than a 13 year old, but most of the suggestions can still be helpful.Mostly it will be "create it yourself" kind of work. Actual employment for anyone under 14 in the US is unlikely. The restrictions for employees 14-16 cause many potential employers to choose not to employ young people. \n\nSo put on your "thinking cap" and look around you community to find tasks that need to be done, that you think people might pay you to do. Make them an offer a job for a price. Be very business-like and professional, in your appearance, and your conduct, all the time, not just when you are asking them to hire you. You would be amazed at what impressions you make while you are just going about your every day business. Ask people that you have worked for succesfully to give you written references. Ask them if others may call them to ask about the work you did. Offer good references to potential employers to show them that your performed the jobs you were hired to do and gave your customers always more than you agreed to. Always remember to perform beyond the call of duty. It is far better to surprise a customer with more and better work, than to EVER dissapoint one. \n\nCreate your own business. Maybe do this with a friend, and share the jobs. If you get two calls to babysit on a Saturday, instead of having to turn one down, you can each take one, and build up your customer loyalty at the same time. If customers know that when they call you for a job, that even if you cannot take that job, that you can provide someone else to take the job, they will keep your number at the top of their list for future needs. \n\nHave some inexpensive business cards printed with your contact information and very little else. You may change the services you offer, so it is best not to get too specific on the cards because they will likely last a long time. Develop a file of references, both letters from former customers, and people who have agreed to be contacted to verify your work quality.\n\nBe sure to keep records of who pays who for what. If you buy supplies for your business, keep reciepts. Ask your parents for help in this record keeping. If you borrow money to get started, be sure to pay it back.\n\nBest wishes! You can begin your life as an entrepreneur now.

I work as a sub in Ohio, and even though there are an over abudence of teachers here it's still easy to pretty much get as many days as you want.  The secret is to sign up at like two or three school districts and not restrict yourself to just your subject area and grade.  I'm a 7-12 English teacher, but I've subbed all subjects and everything from grades 4-12.  Don't limit yourself.  And try to get into school districts that use an internet based call off system.  That way you can check for things on the internet and through a phone call. Super easy.  Happy job hunting.

You can have a job at the age of 15 if you get a work permit from your high school office or guidance office.  With that, you can apply at any place that hires anyone under the age of 18.  You may not get many replies because you are so young, but I worked with a girl who was only 15, and she was one of the better workers there.  In order to better your chances, you will have to include references on your application that can vouche for how responsible you are.  Also, the guidance office at your school should know of available jobs in your community.  You will probably only be able to find a job at a fast food restaurant, as a waitress, as a table busser, or working at a pizza place.  Working with fast food is not as bad as peopl think.  I worked at Burger King.  I gained friends there, and the overall atmosphere is usually very friendly, which makes it a nice place to work.  It doesn't pay well, but it's good work experience if you enjoy working with people.

At sixteen you're legally allowed to hold down a regular minimum wage job.  Lot's of people your age get jobs at fast food places, grocery stores, or drug stores.  I worked as a janitor, which was nice because I got to work on my own terms.\n\nPick something.  If it stinks, then pick something else.
