Answer 1

There's nothing wrong with busing tables or dishwashing...many of us started off on that...but be aware that you don't need a high school education to wait tables either. (In other words, don't limit yourself unnecessarily....they may not NEED busboys, but may need wait staff. Keep yourself open for anything.)

They will pretty much hire you if they need someone at the time and think you will show up responsibly. Let them know they can depend on you and you have a better chance at a job. Also, remember that the rule of thumb for a service job is to apply at 10 for each job offer. So put out lots of applications.

Good luck and work on your GED. Starting at the bottom and working your way up is time honored, but you will need the skills that a high school education provides you eventually -- even if it is simply in balancing your checkbook.

Answer 2

Fred you are 16, why waste your time getting a job that will eventually lead you nowhere. Finish school at least if you don't do well or go into college your people skills and dealing with real life would be better. Also make it easier for someone to hire you, at 16 I doubt you will get a full time job unless they really feel sorry for you. I wouldn't, my first question in an interview will be why did you drop out? based on what you tell me I would be able to tell weather you will be reliable or not. From just even been a drop out I would make an assumption that you will not be reliable, I could be wrong but in real life things such as dropping out matters to an employer. I can give you an example that would be the wrong one but a friend of my only finished partially college, not all but enough to have some important courses under his belt, because of this many employers did not give him the lite of day. One did and he took the opportunity to show that he was smart, now he has his own business and out of spite from some of the companies that did not want to give him a chance, he has put 2 out of business, simply by offering a better product. As a matter of fact he has acquire those businesses from the previous owners(the ones that interviewed him and wasted his time), in order not to affect the people that work there. So if this encourages you to continue studying so be it, but at 16 is too young to know much, when you are in your mid 20 that's a different story. Take care and I hope you became like my friend.

Answer 3

If you want to work in a kitchen, try someplace that might have a career benefit package behind it, like at a hospital or something. Seek out an appointment with the hiring manager, and just "lay it on the line" and tell 'em what's up, that you're SERIOUS and you want to be the best employee they've got. They'll either tell you to get lost, or they'll take a shine to you and give you a shot.

...but, yeah, go for someplace with longevity and vacation time and hopefully a UNION ... if the pay's good, you could spend 40 years there and retire NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE.

Answer 4

My advice- go back to school so you can focus on a career and not just a job. Enroll in a GED course, go to night school or go to Job Corps or see if your school district has any career centers where you can get high school credits and a decent trade at the same time.

They are going to look at you like a quitter that dont want to follow rules. Just tell them that you really need the job while you are going through a transition phase in your life.

Good luck!

Answer 5

young ones in many situations don't have somewhat some obtained activity adventure, yet this does not give up you from looking. you could have quite a few thoughts ... Dishwashing/bussing tables in a eating place (servers could be of minimum age to serve alcohol to shoppers) working at a automobile wash Landscaping information at a golfing course Mowing the neighbour's lawns Housesitting for the travelling neighbours dogs-walking those are purely some innovations ... i could recommend which you get utilising quicker extremely than later. student summer season jobs are well-known and hiring is executed earlier.

Answer 6

From the looks of your spelling,you should have stayed in school. Without a HS diploma,you won't get much further than a busboy or a dishwasher.
As for the interview,just be yourself. Dress appropriately. Be honest if they ask why you dropped out of school.

Answer 7

They're going to wonder why on earth you dropped out of school, and question your commitment to finish anything because high school is pretty basic stuff and everyone knows you need at least that. Shoot for higher than a bus boy or dishwasher; you can't live on that forever.

Answer 8

I don't think they care if you finished school or not. Just be sure to be clean, and dress in your best clothes. Then go, and fill out the applications. You might be able to take them home -- check the spelling!! Don't tell them you are 16 and a drop-out -- they can figure that out from your application form. Tell them you are eager to work, and you want a job.

Try the real world, is my advice. If you don't like it, you can always go back to school later, get your GED, and get a better job. But if you have a good attitude, you can go pretty far. Good luck.

Answer 9

You deserve everything your NOT going to get. I really doubt that you have quit school. Do you visit your parents in prision now that you had them placed there for not forceing you to go to school.

Hum what you should you tell your future employer.
Try this:
Hi My name is Futrue Bank Robber, I am worthless to you and the rest of the world, and you'll support me for the rest of My life so I figured I'd give you a head start on handing Me money for no reason.

are you getting the point!!!!!!! GO

Answer 10

Just be honest...thats the best you can do. They will know one way or the other, so you may as well just tell them. But let them know you plan to be a hard worker and wont let that get in the way.

GO GET YOUR GED!!! You wont regret it, I promise. If anything you will regret not gettin it later in life. I dont know your situation, so I wont say anything about you dropping out, but I think you made a mistake.
