Question Posted Tuesday December 25 2007, 11:50 pm
i'm 16 female and looking for a job. i can't work in fast food because i'm a vegetarian and the smell of meat makes me throw up. i was thinking of working in a department store where i could do recovery (taking the clothes from the dressing room back to the racks) or being a cashier. does anyone know places that hire 16 year olds? thanks.

Certain stores will not hire unless you are 18 or over (Victoria's Secret, for example), but some other places will. I think that major coffee shops like Starbucks, hire people under 18. You could be a cashier or barista (make drinks). You can also look at job openings as a supermarket cashier. Oh, movie theaters also hire under 18.
You can also do under-table work, such as being a babysitter or tutor. Try putting up a flyer at your school, or search Craigslist.org under jobs, to find those types of positions. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]

There are shoe stores that will hire at 16 though. A few of my friends work at The Shoe Department, Rack Room Shoes, etc.
You could also try applying at a food place that doesn't have meat such as a Coldstone Creamery or another local ice cream shoppe. You could try some basic mall clothing stores such as maybe Rue 21, The Body Shop, etc. They will usually hire somewhere around 16... [ S_C's advice column | Ask S_C A Question ]
