My First Job


Question Posted Saturday July 12 2008, 3:11 pm

I just turned 16 and you know what comes with that, getting your first job. Does anyone have any advice for this situation? Like where to work or not to work for the first job. How to keep jitters down for that interview or whatever. Anything is fine I just thought I'd ask anyone who's already been through that "first job" deal, and wouldn't mind giving a few pointers.

Thanks
16/f

My first and last job was Subway. I was 16 when I got it too. It wasn't that bad, but since I was cheering and wasn't that great with food & the public, I quit.
- But it payed great, and wasn't that hard. I would give it a try.

I wouldn't suggest fast food. I've heard terrible things about it.

Try local stores also. Like movie rental places, flower shops, or something like that. I would love to work somewhere similar.

Whatever you do keep in mind that a job is a job.

At the age 16 female and a first job. I would suggest something maybe like Job Lot, McDonalds or Burger King. Don't over work yourself and maybe start off as a part timer. Remember a job is responsibility and it's also a step towards the real world. As far as an interview just keep it cool remember dress nice! Just play it by ear and answer all the questions best you can.


Good luck!
