You don't need to get a job at a big chain. In fact, most of them don't hire until you're at least 16.
You can do simple jobs like babysitting for friends and family. [You can charge more for more kids the more troublesome they are]
Walk dogs of friends. [The more dogs at once the more money you get! ;)]
Mow lawns in the summer.
Rack leaves in the fall.
Shovel snow in the winter.
All jobs people hate. =]
Get homemade fliers and put them around the neighborhood.
For old people give them the fliers. They are old and can't go far =].
karenR answered Sunday July 20 2008, 12:00 pm: Most important I think is to get up
early and start going in places you
might like to work and filling out an
application. Don't wait until noon to
make the rounds. Most managers and
those you want to talk to are there
and available during the morning
hours. Better chance of getting that
job.
of course if the place isn't open
early be there when they open.
Don't just go to a couple of places.
Make a list and go apply at all. You
have a better chance of being called
back by at least one place.
Don't even apply dressed in your
favorite ratty jeans and ripped
T-shirt. Be prepared just in case
the manager would like to talk on
the spot. If they really need someone,
they could interview you that very day.
Doesn't happen often but it does happen.
Fill out the application right then and
there and return it. Don't just give it
to the clerk working there either. Ask
if the manager is available and give it
to him/her. Find out if they plan to hire
new employees soon.
If you know a place is hiring, call back
2 or 3 days after handing in your
application. Let them know you are eager
to start work! :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
Annerszz_101 answered Sunday July 20 2008, 2:01 am: well. depending on your age, just look in the newspaper or just goto a place you'd like to work at and ask for an application and turn it in. and call back within like 2 weeks, at the latest, of when you turned it in.
that's all you can do.
and just try at a lot of different places.
