I don't know how to ask for a job!?

Question

I love horseback riding and I've been doing it all summer. My mom said we probally won't be able to afford them in the school year. It's almost time for school to start and, remember, I'm only 10. I could work there to pay off for lessons, but I'm too afraid to ask. What should I do! HELP!!

Answer 1

just say i would like to work to pay off my lessons but you might not be able to work becasue you are only 10

Answer 2

Wow, your writing abilities are superb for a 10 year old!

Before asking the stable if they have a position for you, you should make sure that your parents would allow you to work there. If so, you should speak to the owner and let him/her know how much you enjoy riding, but your parents cannot afford to continue paying for your lessons. Ask if they would consider letting you help out around the stables on the weekends in exchange for some lessons. I think there is a very strong possibility that they would agree to this.

Good Luck and continue pursuing your passions!  

Answer 3

why are you afraid? most adults will be very, very impressed by a 10 year old who wants to work and speaks up about it! good luck!

Answer 4

i dont think they are going to let you work there if your 10 because i dont think its leagal in some countries !

unless they are really good friends of yours ?  

Answer 5

just ask.... An important lesson in life is that the worst that can happen in this situation is they can say no!

Answer 6

Be very honest with the people there, and tell them how much you love riding, but you won't be able to afford it any more; however you would like to work for them part time, since you love horses any way, this would be a good fit for you, and your earnings will allow you to pay for the horseback riding.

they will probably give you the job, because the money is going back into their pocket.

Good luck!
