Answer 1

There are lots of things you can do.

Often the best place to start is a local supermarket or deparment store. That is, ring Tescos and ask for an application form.

Local jobs are usually in local papers or job boards. Also try your local employment office. Ask your parents if they can help or even teachers.

Even your own business (some millionaires have started out with a business water plant in offices, delivering food to offices or mowing lawns).

Answer 2

You can work in a shop as long as they don't sell alcohol or cigarettes (unless it is sold by someone else). I did work at your age in a shop at the weekends and worked in a market stall during the summer holidays.
It's so nice and refreshing to hear people of your age that want the responsibility of work. Good luck and well done!

Answer 3

Hi,
when i was your age i done washing up in the Wimpy,
you can do a paper round,
my friend used to work on the saturday market, on a stall.
Good luck in finding a job, and it is nice to hear that someone of your age would like to work.

Answer 4

I'm in Canada, and if you have a SIN number you can work. I got a paper route at 15. You don't need a SIN number for a paper route I don't think...

Also, your local mall might be hiring.
