Question

my 19 year old brother has been living with me sine he was 15 and dropped out of high school when he was 17....he does not have a job....and i wanna help him look for one.....who will hire a high school drop out?

Answer 1

One thing a high school diploma shows is you were able to stick it out. Your brother is going to have to prove himself to an employer. Well groomed and in neat clean clothes that aren't flashy he should try and speak with everone in hiring position he can, and see if he can find anyone that offers trial work period. He is going to need two and if possible 3 references. People involved with religious service you attend might agree to be reference. Possobly someone that worked at grade school attended. Your doctor might agree. There is good book on getting jobs call What Color is Your Parachute. Don't know if this is BS to get over supply or truth, but seen news reports of expected shortage of truck drivers, so training in that area might be explored. A strong health body that will show up for work is something many are looking to hire, and there are easy ways to get get GED now or shortly down the line.

Answer 2

Good jobs are out there for high school drop outs...Your brother could most likely be able to get a job in a factory in your city. Something that may require picking up heavy equipment,but a job is a job,right....

Answer 3

Depending on what skills he does have or trade school courses..........Start at a temp agency! He can do anything in a temp agency as long as he can prove he has the ability to do it or learn how to. If he works at as a temp for the same agency for long enough he can get any job he wants almost as long as he has the experience, (the temp agency will give him the experience) Temp agencies aren't always all that great in that not all of them provide health insurance......But If he stays with one agency long enough and gains experience w/ higher end companies as a temp.......Almost anybody will hire him.....Make sure you kkep on top of him though when it comes to Speech, Professionalism and drive....Give him an example of a resume and cover letter to work w/ so that he can create his own and just start sending away!

Answer 4

Not many people will. Very few actually. Most jobs now even Mc Donald's or the fast food ones that you used to not have to have a diploma are requiring that. You should encourage your brother to get his GED he'd be able to at least start doing something.

Answer 5

Besides crappy ones? Not many...these days, it's hard to get a decent job even with a high school diploma. He could try anyplace they hire high school kids--a store, restaurant, delivery service. A GED would be helpful, too.

Answer 6

All fast food restaurants, labor jobs (moving companies, construction and etc.) The best thing for your brother is to get his G.E.D. Does he want to work? Because, if not, then he will not keep a job longer than 6 months or a year. GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 7

Postal worker need to graduate

Jobs
They all pay minimum wage, the hours suck big time, easily laid off, if you cause trouble.

Flipping burgers
Walmart cart pusher ( sorry need to graduate to run the cash)
Truck driver
garbage collector
crossing guard
brick layer
construction worker
factory worker (sweat shops, night shift)

Go back to school, it's easier, and you'll have a better future.

Answer 8

fast food restaurants, pizza shops, dollar store, 7-11, gas stations, landscaping businesses, possibly grocery stores
