I'm 17 and I'm looking to get my first job next summer and I want to work at a boutique/clothing store?

Question

Usually in all the stores I go to on my street mall (it's pretty fancy) the people who work there are in their mid 20's. Do you think I have a good chance at getting a job at one of these stores if I'm a really nice person that loves clothes even if im a lot younger than everyone else?

Answer 1

I would go talk with some of the managers, and ask them what it would take for them to hire you at the age of 18.  Let them know that you are interested and why you would want to work for them.  Dress and act professionally during your talk with them.  Ask them for suggestions as to how to get become an employee of their company.  Good luck

Answer 2

if you apply to hollister and youu look the part, it is easy to get a job there. and you get paid like an 18 yr old. min. wage.

Answer 3

theres no reason why you couldnt but you need to be realistic...you have to understand that you will need to apply more at stores like american eagle, abercrombie rather than bloomingdales or the apple store...good luck!
