you cant get a job till your 16. Maybe 15, but it's usually 16. But you could get a job when your 14 like these... \nbaby-sitting\ndog-sitting or walking\nlawn-moing, gardening and things like that.\nmaybe if you are old enough you can work at a grocery store and bag items or something like that; that's where a lot of teenagers start off besides working at the mall.

Try posting your resume on one of the online services. Try networking with friends and relatives to help you with leads. I hope that's a good start for you!

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!

Have you tried going to a job placement agency?  Most of them are free and they will help you find a job..Like Kelly Services or Action Staffing (if u have these in MO)  Good Luck.. Im 20 and I have had the hardest time finding a job...Fast food joints and retail stores like walmart are always hiring....

try newspaper ads or a local temp agency.  most temp agencies (staffing agencies) place people as temp to hire.  they know the opportunities in your area and have lots of business connections.\na word of advice, though, don't let them forget about you!!! check back with them often to see if they have any interviews for you!\nAlso, check out your local state job agency.  they usually ahve a databse that you put your info on and employers can see you adn you can also see jobs posted by employers.  Plus, the state job agency is a great networking place. they usually have workshops and can give you some direction in your search!

Have you checked the classified ads in your local newspaper? Don't just look for jobs there. Check to see if there are any employment agencies. Look in the yellow pages of your phone book as well. Call these places when you find them and see if they offer help like working up a resume for you. Go to these places and see if they have a Job Board posted with any available jobs. Make sure you are as clean and neatly dressed as possible when you approach anyone about a job. The better you look the more apt they will be to help you. Talk to the people at these places and ask if they have a program that hires young people with no work experience through government subsidies. Perhaps you know someone who would hire you if they could afford to. If there is a program they qualify for with money to pay part of your wages they could hire you! It's a long shot I know. If you are still in school, talk to a counsellor and see if there are any student jobs you might qualify for through a program that the school is running in their business classes or something. If you attend church, talk to your minister. Talk to a trusted adult friend. Put an ad in the paper yourself asking for work! Go, go, go! You can do this! If you can bring yourself to walk into a business and ask to talk to the manager, tell him/her you are looking for work and ask if they have anything available. They can only say no (not kill you), and they might say yes! Keep on going and keep trying until you land something. Good luck to you!

I don't live in your area, but I would suggest that you go through an employment agency to find work that pays better.  I would imagine that a lot of it depends on education and experience -- just like everywhere else.

Check the newspaper classifieds, or job search websites that you can search for a particular area. You might have to broaden your horizon and prepare yourself to travel.

my first job I applied through the newspaper, 2nd and 3rd jobs were through people I knew. A school counsler or local job market might help as well. Ask around.

Wow Richard, Sounds as if you've got alot going for you.  I live in California, and we have a program called One Stop Employment.  It is for 17-24 year olds.  Check your city and see if they have a similar program.  Another place you could start is the Councelor at your High School.  They shold be able to provide you with some good referals.  You might even ask if you can help in the school office.  I know we are always looking for help.  Or, what about Parks & Recreation, or City Hall.  All are great places to begin your search.

I live in your area and yes it is very difficult to find employment.  Have you tried Manpower?  They can put you on assignments until you find something more permanent.  Good luck to you!!

Be yourself, dress nicely, look up the company on the internet and find out something about it like how long it's been in business and how many stores they have.\n\nThink of some questions to ask the interviewer that has nothing to do with your pay or benefits.  Try to let them know that you're responsible and will show up for work when you say you will.  This is often a problem for 16 year olds.

At 17, 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.
