16 years old looking for a summer job
Hi! I am looking for a job in the summer. ONLY the summer because I have to focus on school during the school year. I am 16 years old and a girl, and have no work experience. I want to make some money, but I also don't want to spend every single day working..so I was thinking about working only a few times a week (maybe 3-4?)
I was wondering where to start? And where would I go/talk to to get an application or inquire about jobs?

You should realize that there are so many adults right now desparate for work as well. You may do better by thinking of looking for work where you won't be competing with adults at all. Even though you don't have work experience, you do have skills, if you think about it. Are you responsible and trustworthy? Think about offering to babysit. This is something you could do only a few hours per week, or, if you want more money, work more if you like it and are comfortable. If you play an instrument, look in the newspaper to see if someone needs a part-time keyboardist, etc. If you like gardening, ask at the nearest greenhouse if they need someone to do manual labor with the plants. Just think about what you like or do well and also what you can offer to do that most adults wouldn't want to because it would not be enough money/hours/benefits to support a family. You're only a kid once and will have to work the rest of your adult life, so at this point I recommend doing something you really enjoy and don't worry tremendously about the money. You never know -- the experiences you could have could be worth a whole lot to you later in life.

your local recreation center should be hiring about now for summer jobs. But it depends on where you live. Where i live you can choose how many days and hours you want to work a week. They look only for high school students because most of them want to work. I hope i helped and hope you can get a job =] And go to the rec and ask for an application. you dont need any experience unless you life guard =]

honestly, look for local fairs/carnivals...I've been working at this Carnival since I was ten...its not every day work and mostly during the summer...it runs somewhat into the school year but not entirely and they dont make you work when they want you too, only when you want to...
