Age/Transportation - I'm turning sixteen in August and will [hope to god] get my drivers liscense the first try so I can drive to a job. I reside in Wisconsin.
People Skills - I have EXCELLENT people skills. Helping people just enough without passing into annoyance is my speciality. I am very good at interviews and one-on-one situations. Being a leader and taking charge are some of my strong points.
Academic Skills - I'm a high honours student who has been recommended for academic and leadership events. GPA around 3.9.
Others - I have probably one of the biggest work ethic cores of any teenager. I never, ever give up at a challenge or request.
With all this in mind, where would be good places to work?
A few I've thought of were [and why]:
American Eagle - love clothes
Gamestop - love video games
Rue 21 - love clothes
I'd like to work in retail, since I love selling to ppl.
I'd personally not want to work at like a fast food place beacuse I hate food.

I would try a retail store. I have worked in retail for 4 years. They are always looking for dependable workers. Just remeber to work at a place that you think will be fun or have some interest in. Otherwise it is going to suck if you hate your job. If you like to sell things to people and like working one-on-one with customers in a high paced type of atmosphere try selling shoes..I have worked in the shoe department of a large retail store and I love it.. Plus you can make really nice commision checks (if they work on commision and a base rate also).
Good Luck!! I hope you find something you like--- If you have a Yonkers, Herbergers, Boston Store, or Bon Ton. They are a great place to work for, and are always looking for good employees! I work at Herbergers.
GOOD LUCK on the job and on passing your test!

Your first job will be a learning experience regardless of where it is. The best thing for you to do is stay positive and learn as much as you can about whatever job you get. You may discover that you don't enjoy retail as much as you expected either. Trust me, when you're no longer on the consumer side of the world, things may not be what you expected. As long as you can keep a positive attitude, you will have an advantage and stand out among others.
Good luck!!
