Answer 1

I think "*** y" has the right idea. The advice he offered seems really good. I would like to ad the following:
1. besides looking in the mall you may want to consider an office job answering phones, and doing light clerical work if you know those things or if the position says no experience required they willteach you. Yo may consider Day care centers (after school) and insurance companies, real estate offices sometimes need late afternoon and evening people as well.
2. I am not sure if you have any work experience but, MCd's may offer you that even if for a short while.
3. If you lack work experience remember to add to your resume any babysitting, or youth group work you may be involved with.
4.Do plan in advance for a job hunt day (in person) where you will dress professionally (in a suit) even if it is an entry level position. Be positive...that is magical to a prospective employer

Answer 2

as a business owner i have 3 let me mind you and I'm only 20,first mistake about looking for a job is people don't dress for the job they want first dress up nice even when just getting applications.two always talk to the manager that means look for a job before 5 o clock and always when returning your application hand it to the manager.number three turn off your cell phone.number four personality beats out skills any day of the week the number one thing i look for is a smile and good personality.number five put in applications to any place you can find that means more than two make a day of it. and my last bit of advice have references be it a teacher counselor or out of state family member some one who knows your character and knows you are hard working..i hope this was helpful.

Answer 3

There are a lot of other stores besides McDonalds. Go walk around the local shopping area or mall, and go into the stores that look good, and start filling out some applicatons. Grocery stores are also good at hiring teenagers, so you could try that also.

Answer 6

Here's a short list of 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!
