Answer 1

the best thing for you to do is get a work permit if the state requires it then go to the mall and fill out applications. At your age a resume isnt really needed since you dont have any experience

Answer 2

My cousin is just like you. Ever since she was a baby, she was just "horse mad". At 14, you are an insurance liability, and unemployable. What you could do is volunteer at a stable doing chores and other tasks for lessons. My cousin did. She took care of the horses and cleaned up the stable starting at about 11 years old in exchange for discounted lessons. She spent every day at that stable. 7 days a week!!! Eventually, she got her lessons free, and when she turned 16, they hired her and started paying her. She used that experience to get a job with a vet, and it looked fantastic on her applications to colleges.

Answer 3

Do you have any information to put on a resume.....

Here is a basic format:

Heading
Your name

Your address (can be a post office box)

Your contact phone number (s) (it is a good idea to include your cell phone number -do not include your work number if you don't wish to be contacted there)

Your email address (it is best to use an email name and address that sound professional)

Summary
A brief concise statement describing you, your strongest skills, experience and your strengths.


Professional Experience
Start with your present / latest employer.

List all employment (up to 15 years, concentrating on the experience that is relevant to the positions that you are currently seeking & your latest relevant experience)
List the name of the Company,
Location,
A brief description of the company (eg, third largest air conditioning company in the world),
Size of company
Your title (if more than one position held with the same company list each one separately)
Dates of employment
highlight your accomplishments and achievements
Use strong resume action verbs & phrases such as managed, developed, initiated, coordinated…
Include cost savings ( for example saved the company $30,000 or reduced the cost of a product by 5 %)
Include responsibilities
Repeat the above for each position

Education
If you are a recent graduate or if the education is more relevant than the experience to the job you are applying for, place this section above the professional experience section. If not, leave it in this order.

Name of University/ TAFE/ College

Location

Degree / Diploma/ Certificate

Graduation date/ still attending (expected date of graduation)

For about to graduate students and for recent graduates, it is recommended that you also list your major courses


Honors and awards
List any awards or distinctions you received, such as dean's list or Phi Beta Kappa. This is impressive on resumes for entry level positions.

This section can be included as a sub-section within the "Education" section of the resume format or listed separately.


Skills and Training
Under this section of your resume, include:

Any relevant skills not listed under professional experience (above)

All relevant courses/workshops/ seminars All relevant computer skills (eg, Microsoft office…)

Foreign Languages (Only list if you are applying for positions where your foreign language would be required or would be an asset, for example if you are applying to a company with a branch where the foreign language is spoken.... etc.)


Personal Details
We do not suggest listing your personal details such as age, marital status or hobbies. As a rule there is no need to list on your resume anything that does not apply or relate directly to the job that you are applying for. For example listing that you are single may be helpful for a job that requires travelling 90% of the time.... etc.


Citizenship
(Optional- depending on the requirements of the job that you are applying to)


Memberships


List Professional Licences/ Memberships/ Associations


References
We suggest you contact your referees and prepare a list to have ready to give to the employer as soon as they ask for them

On the resume include "References available upon request". Some resume formats list the references, but we don't recommend doing so, unless you are asked to do so.

Answer 4

Honestly at 14 it is going to be really hard to find a job, because of the strict child labor laws. The best places to look would be like a grocery store becasue the cart "boy" positions are usually held by teenagers from 14-16 because of the lack of things they are allowed to do.

Answer 5

at your age it is going to be awfully hard to get a job unless you have family or close friends that can get you a job easily. good luck.
