I'm a High School student and I'm looking for a job. Any ideas on where to apply?

Answer 1

It greatly depends one your availablitly to get to your job. Do you drive, if so then you are open to more options then if you are depending on someone to drive you.
I'd stick to somewhere close to your home, and school that way you can continue to work there when school starts back up, so when you get out of school you could be there quickly. Employers like that especially if they get busy late in the afternoon early evenging. They want someone who can get on the clock.
It would also depend on what you want to do, you need to work somewhere you will enjoy. No one wants to work somewhere where they hate the job.
Try somewhere like, and ice-cream shop, or answering phones at a business.
But now a days fast food employes make pretty good money.

Answer 2

Get one step ahead of your peers.
See if you can get a part time job working as a receptionist at a Real Estate office. That would be REAL life experience that you can take with you wherever you go. Another idea would to just apply at a temp agency. This way, you would get multiple experiences (filing, copying, running errands, answering the phone, balancing spreadsheets, etc.)
And, when you finally finish high school and/or college, then you can list these type jobs on your resume, and it would show maturity and being goal-minded. Very attractive character types.
Good luck! Should pay better than minimum wage, too.

Answer 3

well, wal mart. If u want to be a cartpusher, u can work there when u turn 16. That's the only job u can have there til ur eighteen. But, I seriously doubt they'll hire a girl for that. Good luck though.That's all I could think of considering my Dad owns a Wal Mart. It just popped in my head....

Answer 4

i would say ask for part time these are a set of regular hours if you get an interview talk to your interviewer about picking up extra hours when someones away if you go casual you may end up working 1 day one week 3 to 5 the next and then maybe nothing for weeks after that so part time with few hours a week an opportunity to pick up more if need be would be best but it depends on the job and your life and best of luck

Answer 5

Besides the Fast Food Restaurants, such as McDonald's, Wendy's and White Castle/Krystals, try the supermarkets, Wal-mart and also some of the hospitals and doctor offices.

Answer 6

I started as a pharmacy clerk in high school. Right after I became a pharmacy technician. After that I should've started college right away to become a pharmacist. I will be starting college soon though! It pays decent and I would highly suggest it!

Answer 7

Grocery stores. They are SO much better than working in fast food, and are a great place to learn customer relation skills in a relatively easy environment. That is my two cents. Good luck!

Answer 9

You can try nursing homes. CNA work is hard, and dirty, but will let you see the nursing profession (from the bottom). Talk to Dr. offices, too. If health care is what you want, then anywhere right now will be good, just to get your toes wet.
