Question Posted Thursday October 6 2005, 3:53 pm

I am 17 and a female. I am trying to find a job. I applied at different fast food places and I never hear anything back. Do you know why? Is it cause I'm not 18?

That's not it. I know 14 year old people who work at fast food places. I think you should just remeber that tons of other people apply for jobs at fast food places.

They are probably just being slow. It took along time for the public library to get back to me, and I thought I didn't have the job for sure, but I got it.

Call the place back about a week after applying to check in. Companies really like that and it improves your chances of getting hired.

go in to a store/restaurant/place of work, get an aplication, and when its filled out go back and ask to speak with the manager shortly.
most fast food places hire at 16, so it shouldnt be a problem with your age.

You really have to persue them. After about 2 or 3 days call the places you applied to and ask for someone who reviews the applications and explain to them you applied and you wanted to know if your application had been reviewed.

Honestly, they'll hire anyone at fast food places. I know around here there are a bunch of 14,15,16 year olds working. Being that you're older than 16 it's probably a plus to them. So give them all a call and just ask what the deal is.

They take a while to look at all the aplications and give people interviews. So try to be patient also if you don't already know, you should know ahead of time which of all the places do you want to work at mainly in case more than one want to accept you. And don't apply for any more jobs. Fast food places have alot of people aplying so be very patient it'll take some time. It's not because of your age either well it shouldn't be at least.
