Wheres the best place for a teen to go look for a job in this economy nowadays?
Doing odd jobs for friend, neighbors and family, or start your own business. Be aware of the importance of good grooming and articulate, respectful and punctual behavior. Sit down for some preplanning before the job search begins. Assess your skills and how to make the best use of them. The key to getting a job as a teen is to sell yourself. Put together a simple resume. List your qualifications and things you want an employer to remember about you. Look in your local newspapers, use Internet sites to search for part-time teen jobs or walk around your city looking for help wanted signs. Many restaurants and department stores hire teenage employees. Look for a job doing something you are interested in and enjoy doing. Only apply for jobs you are qualified to do. Be honest at all times. Prepare yourself for rejection. Show self-confidence when on an interview. Explain your skills and qualifications and explain that you are willing to learn.
