What is the best way to find a job if you are 16?

If your 16 and need a job, there a lots of ways to go out and look for a job. You could just go walk into to a place and ask if there hiring. You could look on- line. The best thing to do though is to look in the newspaper, call ahead for a meeting, then amaze them! The most important thing of all is to act like you really want the job, AND DONT BE SHY!

I do believe you have to be 16 to work at most fast food places, but she could speak with the neighborhood and see if they need a sitter for the summer months.  That's what I did until I was 16 then scooped ice cream and stocked shelves at a small gas station.  There are some places that will take someone under 16, all you can do is ask around.

There are ways, but they're usually scams. And you almost ALWAYS have to pay an upfront fee. So I suggest the good old fashioned out-of-house job. It's not that bad. I didn't get a job until I got to college, and then I started working 12 hours a week and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought even though I hadn't had previous working experience. It's also a great way to meet new people and get away from your parents every now and then.\n\nAs for at home jobs, if you prefer, you can try babysitting and dogsitting (if your house is baby/dog-proof). Try not to limit your sources. It's always good to get out in the workforce when you can and just be active. Don't be a homebody! lol!\n\nPS: Why do you want to make specifically $92? Why not just round it up and say "around $100/week" or something? Just curious. But that's a lot of money to try and make in just one week. Even I normally only get around $100 every TWO weeks working 20 hours.

Those who are looking for babysitting and chores around their home to be done. Everyelse, you're lucky to find a job when you're 15. Just wait until you're 16.

Apply to restaurants as a hostess...you don't have to be 18 for this normally and it gets your foot in the door so that you can later become a waitress if you choose too.\nA grocery store or other store as a cashier.\nDeliver newspapers.\nBabysit.\nOr you could volunteer somewhere you would be interested in working and eventually use the experience you have gained to apply for a job!

1)Figure out where you can live and travel to-define where.\n2)Figure out when you can work.\n3)Write a resume-www.microsoft.com has some online that you just change to fit you.  Maybe someone can help.  Having a piece of paper with references and the addresses of your schools and everything REALLY HELPS applications. Also have a nice black pen and a sharp pencil along, and BE ON TIME if there is any appointment.\n4)Then apply anywhere you can reach.  It helps if you have a feel for what you like to do-like child care or retail.  \n5)Concentrate  on one field, like child care, or retail stores, restaurants in a week and blanket them with applications. \n6)Apply on Monday and Tuesday mornings, except restaurants do the after lunch application.  You want to meet the boss when he/she is available to talk and worried about the schedule. Friday at 5 Pm is usually not productive.\n6)This summer the job market is very tough for 18 year olds.  You see their parents working the fast food lanes.  Go to your town hall and see if there are "job programs" in your area, or "temp help people". \n7) EXPERIENCE is better than nothing.  Volunteer at the hospital or Habitat for Humanity or the public school if you are interested in working in those kind of fields. If you cook everyday for the salvation army, maybe you can get a cook job. Think about it.

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!

Actually yes it is possible to get a job at the age of 17. If you seriously want to earn some cash you basically have 3 options if you can't find anyplace that will hire anyone younger than 18.\n1. baby-sitting (yes its a classic i know)\n2. yard work\n3. house cleaning\nThese 3 options usually mean your own little buisness. If you don't want to do those then try looking online for some jobs. For example, snagajob.com, monster.com, etc. or you can even look at the websites of places you want to apply at online. (Some stores do have it to where you can apply online.) For instance, albertsons.com, tomthumb.com, walgreens.com, etc. Or you can do it the old fashioned way, walking in and asking for an application. Oh btw if you go into a place that your wanting to ask for the application, make sure you dress nice (not fancy nice but like jeans and a nice shirt nice) bcuz some places already know whether or not they'll hire you by the way you dress. so that ol' saying "dress for success" wasn't kidding. ok well i hope this helped. if you need anymore sites or anything you can email/IM me. ttyl!

Most fast-food places hire 15 year olds. But it depends where you live. For example, I live in california and you can get a job at an amusement park and a Chuck E Cheese type place. Most clothing shops in malls will have you wait until you're a senior in high school to work there.

You have to find out what the rules are in your state. If you can work at 15 a good place to find employment is at a golf course. There are many jobs to do there that are fun and interesting. If you can not get a job in the workplace. Babysitting, newspaper carriers (if they stillexisist in your state) or cutting lawns are all goodways of earning extra cash. They keep you outside and you don't have to say, "Would you like fries with that?"

Ahh, the good old days...just kidding! Actually, I can't legally get a job yet either. Babysitting is an EXCELLENT way to earn money, as long as you're responsable. Taking a babysitting course (I did) can improve your chances of finding a family that will accept you. Also, doing odd jobs for older neighbors perhaps...shoveling, raking, planting flowers, and other things they can't do. Good luck! (and don't loose hope, you'll be 16 before you know it!)

There are a lot of ways.  You could go get a traditional job depending on the age (I think its 15 or 16 depending on the state).   You could start a business.  I know that sounds silly, but a lot of teens do that, sometimes without even realizing it.   Mowing lawns, doing odd jobs are popular ways.   So is painting and other physical manual labor jobs.   If a teenager is good on a computer, there may be online and website opportunties as well.  \n\nOne idea might be to help neighbors clean out their attics and garages and offer to take their junk away.  Then clean it up and sell it on Ebay or have a garage sale with all the stuff.   There are lots of things really that can be done.  Just be creative.

That's bull that you need a job. You THINK you need a job. You are 13, relax, don't work until you absolutely need to, which is usually at least 16 if not 18 or even older.

you need to obtain an application from the place you want to work.. usually, you'll need parental approval - you're under 16 yrs of age.

Try looking at your parents' workplace. My dad's a physician, so when I was 14 I worked as a "Student Nutrition Aide" at the hospital. Not fun, but a real job nonetheless. I know how hard it is to find a job when you feel that you're responsible enough but everyone says you're too young... good luck\n\nDon't become discouraged, the whole world opens up when you turn 16.
