what am i doing wrong?
Since I was fifteen, I've been trying to find a job. Back then when I applied to places or asked about them hiring, they always said I had to be sixteen or older. Then I turned sixteen and everyone said I'd have to wait until I'm eighteen. I'll be turning eighteen in two weeks and I'm wondering where to go apply. I've applied at A LOT of places in the past few weeks, but I always get the same thing. They want to hire someone who matches their interests more. What I don't understand is how can you not want a seventeen, almost eighteen-year-old who has already graduated high school, about to start college, and can work almost anytime? The only times I can't work are Monday - Wednesday, and its only for 2 1/2 hours because I have college classes. Other than that, I have all the free time in the world. I don't go out much with friends.. so what am I doing wrong? The only thing I would think it would be is because I have never had a job before, but you gotta start somewhere.
Anyways, any advice is appreciated on helping me get a job. Thanks! :)

Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
Your best bet is to find a job through your campus. I know my campus is always trying to get student workers to work in the cafeteria, stores and as escorts at nighttime. They are flexible about scheduling and plus you get to make friends with your coworkers who are also going to school on campus.
The only thing I can think of that you are doing wrong is that you are either applying at places that you have no skill sets for. Or when you go for interviews or to drop off applications you present yourself negatively (unkempt, dirty etc.). Now if you do neither of the above things I have no idea why you are having such a hard time.
Good luck and be patient and persistent.

you can google in teen jobs, or just jump right to www.snagajob.com, this is an issue for 15 year olds, but you should find jobs easily, try applying at your local mall. Working at places such as Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, or even Forever 21 will work out for you. I wish you the very best
