Join a Job Search club like OPEN which is a chapter of Experience Unlimited. They do mock interviews all the time, which will help you to prepare.

The best way is to find a person or company that you would like to work with and pursue an internship or unpaid position just to get your foot in the door. Make sure you have a strong reason for selecting the place you try to get into.

Just mail all the libraries in UK and tell them you're looking for work. Volunteer to help out on a trial basis and see if they keep you on. All the main universities have libraries so mailing them is easy

For teens, your best bet is good old fashion leg work. Go to the various fast food and retail establishments nearby and apply. You can also search the help wanted section of the newspaper, but leg work will probably be the most rewarding. Remember your first impression counts, so dress for an interview even when picking up apps. You could get an interview on the spot if your timing is right. \n\nOther preparation you should do:\n- Prepare a resume. It does not need to be very elaborate, but with a simple word processor, there is no reason you can't create one pretty easily. Take a couple of copies when you gather and return applications and if you get asked to an interview. If you have never held a job before, you can list volunteer work, pertinent after school activities and self employment such as lawn mowing or baby sitting. Under education, list the school you are attending and any awards or achievements you have obtained.\n- Make sure you have written down all the answers you will need for a application. Some places will want you to complete the application on the spot. You should have addresses, employment dates, emergency contact information etc.\n- Ask your parents, a teacher or other adult you trust to look over your resume and to help you practice for interviews.\n\nRemember, job hunting is a job. Make notes of where you have applied. Follow-up. It can be frustrating and can take some time, particularly if you don't have any work experience.

You want this correctly and accurately because you want to choose a career. First off, if you are an aeronautical engineer and you are asking Yahoo answers for help deciding where to look for job vacancies, then I ask what the crap college did you graduate from? Coney Island University? You should know that place isn't very accredited. \n\nSecond, if you are asking about it because you want to go into that field then, once again, why Yahoo Answers? Don't get me wrong, I applaud you for at least trying, but choose a place that would yield results. Not just people pasting wikipedia articles and vomiting all over the keyboard. \n\nSave yourself the time it takes for you to flunk out and just get a job in a warehouse. At least there you won't have to do any research. It's obvious you have no idea how to do that in the first place.

Ajith: Prior experience in a related field definitely helps one on the way to secure a job in a field of choice. If you don't have that, then the best of way of getting it is looking for an internship in the industry of your choice which will arm you with the relevant exposure to the industry. Also, do some field study and gear your academic projects towards the industry of your choice so that you can have something to show in an interview and impress the company. Lastly, subscribe to trade publications and stay on top of new developments and buzz words in the industry. Build you arsenal of knowledge so that you can talk in industry terms when you land an interview.\n\nNow comes the hard part... landing an interview... Hopefully your campus recruitment efforts will help. On top of that network. Join trade association as a member, network with people there, ask your professors to give you leads etc. I wish you the best of luck.

I would check the classifieds, especially if there is a college with a paper of their own nearby.  Also, Monster.com and Fastweb.com are very helpful for finding jobs for youth.  Other places to look are retail stores and restaurants (before 18 you can only be a greeter at the front).  I'm not sure of jobs specific to your area, but these are pretty good places to check...good luck!

A good first step would be to call them (323-951-4400) and politely ask if they're hiring, and how you can apply. And you might want to shoot for an internship first.

I worked for Student Support Services at my college, we were in close relations with upward bound. You should check with the local colleges around you. More than likely they can assist you in finding a job with these programs. Good luck, they are great programs!

Think about what you really want to do. Work up a resume with an entry level position in that area as the job objective. Get the yellow pages and call companies in that area and find out if you can fax over your resume and to who's attention. If you do not qualify for entry in that area maybe you need to go back to school

Starting looking now and attend the career fairs at your college. Ask an instructor you admire for ideas also. Also communicate w/your classmates bc you're all in the same boat.  Many colleges have career centers on the same grounds.

The sooner you start looking, the better.  I'd keep my eyes open and check some things out, but at least around January is definitely the time to get serious and start getting more active in a job search.  Check out any university job fairs or career days, check your local paper, search the internet (Monster and the like), talk to people you know/network, etc.  Try to get an idea of what's out there and what you're looking for and get your resume out there.  Start applying and getting interviews early, because even if you don't get the job, you get the experience that comes with each time you are interviewed, and can become more confident with each time you go for an interview.  And remember, you don't have to take a position immediately just because it's offered to you.  There are always options, and give yourself a little time to think before making any big decisions.  Above all else, remember that you're still young and have a whole life ahead of you, and your chosen career path of right now may not be the same 20, 10, or even 5 years from now.  Sometimes the only way to learn is to do, and sometimes you'll find that you can change your mind about what you want to do.  Finding yourself, and your niche, can take a long time.\n\nBest of luck to you!

Yahoo has a site through Hotjobs.com, and you can input search preferences. Your best bet is to keep your original request simple (don't put in too many keywords right away) and sift through the results yourself. It takes forever to find and apply to jobs that work out the best for you. I'm in the middle of just such a search myself. Try looking into a major publication in your field (magazine, professional journal) and see what they have on their site for employment recommendations. Another good thing to do is check on University webpages. The big ones often have extensive lists set up to assist students in their searches, why not use it to your benefit as well? Good luck!

You need a good cover letter and resume...if it is professional and lists your skills and experience, it can get you in the door.  In your cover letter explain that you are looking for a first job, but that you have developed excellent skills through volunteer work, school clubs, homework prep, etc. (whatever applies to you).  If you have a good grade point average, include that.  also tell them your long term goals and what you are hoping to get out of this job.  People are often impressed with young, focused people and are more than willing to give you a shot.  DO NOT use cute phrases/symbols or pink paper!!!\n\nThere are also programs that hire college students through work study programs and/or internships.  You can find out about this through your school's counselor or business teacher.
