what kind of job can a 19 year old who has never worked before be able to get?be nice people =)?

Answer 1

As all have already suggested, entry level positions and don't be afraid to say, "I don't know how to.... " It is obvious, never working before that you may not know how to.. So, don't sweat that part.
I would however, take advantage of who you may know or your parents may know to help get you an "edge",. but if you do that, you must understand that if you screw up, not mistakes, necessarily, but are late, poor work ethic, that kind of stuff, it will reflect back on your friend/family member. So, do the right thing if that turns out to get you your job. Not only will it help you going forward, but it will be helpful to them as well.

Answer 2

I know someone who's 19 yr old got a first job at Wal-Mart. It was definitely a learning experience and he did well. The pay was above minimum wage, but they didn't treat him with much respect and definitely didn't accomodate his college schedule.

Retail jobs will give you a good experience working with people and help you understand the "big" picture for companies. But the pay is lousy, scheduling is impersonal and the perks are few.

Working in an office environment will give you more computer/software skills. You can also find day jobs which don't intrude on your social life or that can be arranged around your school work.

Visit a staffing agency in your area and file out an application. Also your state probably has a workforce commission/agency that is designed to get people jobs.

Good luck...

Answer 3

This is as nice as it gets:
1. Supermarket - cashier, stock boy/girl, bag boy/girl
2. Gas Station - cashier, stocker, etc.
3. Waiter/Waitress

Listen, you want a job - get a job, any job. Once you have a job, work there set up a reputation - a good one. Get to work on time, put your heart and soul into the job. If possible get promotions. While you are working, take some classes from local colleges - learn to type, take some computer classes, etc. Then when you have some of these, go to temp agencies. Set your reputation with them. Work your butt off. Once you are known as a worker - someone who will do the job at hand - never say - that isn't my job, it used to irk me and I know several people who were fired over that statement. Some small businesses cannot have someone who refuses to do a job just because they consider it beneath them. But you have to be go getter to get a job. Good Luck.

Answer 4

You can work in convenience stores, 7-eleven, restaurants, UPS, FedEx, bookstores, retail shops, and many others.... or just go back to school and study for a useful degree to prepare you for a good career because frankly speaking, it's hard for you to get anywhere with just a High school diploma. It's better if you can just stay in school or go back to school to study for a degree that can prepare you for a good career after graduation. You can't make much with just a high school diploma unless you become the manager or something. But if you have a professional degree such as computer science, engineering, pharmacy, etc, then you can make a lot more money after graduation than working in the stores. But, it's also good to have some working experience and know what it's like to be working but you can also get that experience through working part-time and going to school...

Answer 5

I got my first job when I was 19 and it was working at a craft store. I started out as a cashier and then worked up to supervisor. I would check out retial stores or maybe restaurants. Try applying at some place that matches your interests, like your favorite clothing store, so that you will be able to say you have some knowledge about the job

Answer 6

Depending on what type of job (indoor or outdoor) you'd like to have, you could begin with most any type of entry-level job, such as most retail jobs (in malls or other stores), in restaurants, or landscaping services. Read through the classified section of your local paper to see what employers minimum requirements are and pick a job that might hold some interest for you.

Answer 7

The easiest job to get into is sales, especially retail. If I were you, I'd go to one of the big retail stores and try get a job selling some cool gadgets, for example cell phones. I worked for Future Shop in Canada doing this for over a year and it was quite interesting.

Answer 8

How about a receptionist? You probably have good computer and phone skills, and you could get valuable office/business experience if they see potential in you.

How about a hostess or waitress position? Getting experience in those areas now will make it easier to get wait jobs at nicer restaurants (with bigger tips!) later, like when you are in college or grad school.

Try a temp agency- you might stumble onto a temporary position in a company that sparks a career path you might not have considered!

Answer 9

Aim for entry-level retail, clerical, manual labor or service-type positions.
First assess your skills, interests, and abilities. When I was 19 I had never held a job before. My first job was busing tables in a cafeteria.

Answer 10

Try to get any job you'd like to do. Don't let lack of anything stop you. I've known millionaires who sold their business's , got bored and went looking for work. One was telling me they put in over 100 applications before they got hired. Just persist guy and eveything will work out fine.
