Tell them the truth . Then tell them that since you have no experience that they can train you the way they want to and that's the way you'll do it because you don't know any other way !

You need to be just over 15 and have a National Insurance No to get legal work in this country. A lot of jobs offered to younger people pay very low wages, they have no rights and will work long hours. Your CV can be done at home or school. Don't be to impatient to grow up.

Unfortunately, there aren't many things available that's legal to hire anyone under 16, and even then it's restricted to menial labor jobs. You're best bet is to become self-employed. Decide what you want to do, use your pc to create a leaflet to distribute in the area you want to work in, post it at some approiate places, can also create some personal business cards and pass them out. If tutoring appeals to you, leave a business card at grade schools, child care facilities, ect. \n\nLawn service, $10-$30 for mowing, same for leaf raking and disposal more for a large area, less for small area\n\npet service (walking dogs, tending to pets when their owner's are away, ect), Should be minimum wage, or whatever you can negociate\n\nnewspaper delivery, (200 papers @ $.10 per = $20 per day\n\ntutoring younger students, baby-sitting, house-sitting (watering flowers, ect) = earn while you learn, you can do your home work and tutor at the same time\n\nwashing cars, snow removal if you live where it snows, cleaning snow off of one driveway can earn you $20-$30, \n\nThe problem employers have with hiring teenages is insurance,  liability laws and child labor laws. Apparently there's exceptions for migrant farm workers, or the laws are not enforced as stringently as they are for US citizens.

If youintend to work there the first thing you will need is a work permit. So you need to find an employer with a shortage of staff they can source in the US. If you have a specialist skill you are more likley to find an employer. Start with websites on employment.

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.

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.

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".

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!

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.

Being 13 you are limited by what jobs you can do and how many hours you can work.  \n\nHave you tried newsagents for paper-rounds?  \nPubs/Restaurants for dish-washing/kitchen jobs?\nTry going to different shops to ask if they take on Saturday staff.  You may have more luck with larger chain stores, eg. Woolworths/Dixons than small independent stores.

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!

Go up and ask for an application..fill it out and see what happens.  Try several places.  I worked first doing catering, then at Arby's when I was 14....both were fun, and it was nice to have the cash!!!\n\nGood Luck!!!\n\nP.S.  some good tips....if you don't hear back within a few days, call and ask if they have reviewed your application, and if they are still hiring.  Express your interest.  This shows initiative!  If you do this (even though it can be awkward), it'll give you an edge over other applicants.  If you get asked for an interview, dress neatly, speak well, and keep your answers customer-focused.

If you have a degree in a related field then just do a google search for youth work social work in London.  When I did the first site that came up was:  http://www.workgateways.com/Social+Work+(Qualified).Youth.Jobs   If not then I suggest you volunteer at a local youth center so you can gain experience.

Use specific classes or activities where you use applicable skills (such as: communications, student government, volunteer work, school awards, etc.). That will let them know you even though you don't have experience, you do have the skills to do the job.\n\nReferences also help. You could have a teacher be a reference for you about your work ethic in school.

You have to start with a resume that says what you really want to do not something vague. Example: To find a job as a sales trainee where I can use my strong interpersonal skills. Lots of people put down something like I want a position that will afford me personal growth. That goes into the wastebasket. \nAnother mistake people make is to just look at help wanted ads. Only 10% of all jobs are filled through ads. Get out the yellow pages and look up companies that have the job you want. Call up and ask if you can fax over the resume and to who's attention. Follow up in a week with a phone call.

They usually have a kiosk in the store near the customer service area where you can apply for a job. If you can't find it, ask someone who works there and they can direct to where it is located.
