Question

Could someone help me get a Job i really need a good part time job to start saving up for a down payment on a car

Answer 1

Well, a huge percentage of the working population in this country had their first real job at McDonald's, or other fast food joints. In Lakewood, I'd take advantage of the upcoming Christmas rush and see if you can get hired as a stockboy in the mall and other big retailers there, or in a supermarket. A lot of big employers, like grocery stores or Target or Home Depot, have computer terminals set up right in the front of the store, often in a hidden corner, ready for you to type in your job application. You might not be able to start work until after Halloween, for the Christmas-rush type jobs, but it'll take a while to do the paperwork anyway. What's within walking or easy bicycling distance? (Remember, if you have to ride a bike, you'll be doing that in the rain and snow, after dark as the days get shorter.)

Whatever you do, don't mortgage your future by getting Cs, though, because you want more money now. Ten years from now, and twenty, and thirty, you'll wish you'd studied harder a lot more than you'll wish you had gotten that super new car rather than a beater when you turned 16. If you can't work smarter than the billions of Chinese and Indians and Mexicans competing for moderate-skilled jobs worldwide, you'll be left behind as an adult by your friends who studied in school and can command a good income.

Here's the relevant labor law in Colorado:
(Note that you can't work after 7 pm on a school night until June!)

FEDERAL: The minimum age for employment in most industries is 14 years of age. Youth 14 and 15 may work outside school hours in various non-manufacturing, non-mining and non-hazardous jobs.

FEDERAL: 14 and 15 year olds may be employed no more than 3 hours on a school day or 18 hours in a school week. They may be employed up to 8 hours on a non-school day or 40 hours in a non-school week. They may not work during school hours and may not begin work before 7 AM or end after 7 PM except from June 1 through Labor Day when evening hours are extended to 9 PM 18 year olds may work any job for unlimited hours.

STATE: On school days, during school hours, minors under the age of sixteen can’t work without a School Release Permit. After school hours, minors under the age of sixteen can’t work in excess of six hours or between the hours of 9:30 PM and 5 AM unless the next day is not a school day. No employer can work a minor (under 18) more than forty hours in a week or more than eight hours in any twenty-four hour period.

Answer 2

The shoveling snow idea is a great one! There's baby sitting/nanny, delivering newspapers, working at the town library, tutoring children, etc.

However why not do something that will last you for a much longer time?

If you have something that you love doing or writing about, you can consider building a website? These bring in money, IF you follow the right process.

Keep in mind, this won't earn you money QUICKLY, but once it builds up and people start to visit your site, you can pull in some very nice cash. You can set this up while doing other part-time jobs until your website starts to take off.

By college time you'll be doing GREAT!

best starter jobs.

Answer 5

Here's a short list of part time jobs which you can create to generate income:

1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.

2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities.

3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.

4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.

5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.

6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you.

7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there's a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer's cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant -- often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner's experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison.

8. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time.

Good luck!
