Im 13 and looking for a job..I live in the UK..Can anyone suggest any jobs for me to do?

Answer 1

babysitting, maybe yardwork, walking dogs?

I think at 13 you're stuck with paper round, baby-sitting, or sweeping up hair at the local salon on a Saturday.

Answer 3

Babysitting is fun.

Answer 4

Answer 7

Answer 8

Job in s*x Shop.....:-)....

Answer 9

Unfortunately, officially, you can't babysit until you're 14 - but obviously if you're mature enough and the parents trust you & know you well then they may 'hire' you.

Newspaper rounds are  good but only if you like hard work - a friend of my sons does one - and he has loads of papers to deliver on his bike.

Again, officially, you can't apply for jobs in shops, cafe's, restaurants etc...

so...

you could try approaching places like horse riding stables - see if they need extra helpers.

or

hairdressers - you could do the sweeping up, make tea, answer the phone.....

or

put an ad in the local shop - asking if anyone needs some help at home - cleaning etc... (BUT, you'd have to get your mum to check the people out first)

or

Dog Walking - that's a good one. Again, put an ad in a shop window.

Good luck,

Bev

Answer 13

Answer 14

Paper boy, or washing cars

Answer 15

I worked in a hairdresser when I was 13, I only lasted a day though cos I didn't like it. You need to get your school to sign something first.

Answer 16

I did paper rounds when I was 13, the problem with that is you have to be committed, so if any of your friends suggest going off somewhere, you would have to miss out.

The "Girl Friday" (odd-jobs) is more flexible.

You could "mail drop" around your neighbourhood or put cards in the local supermarket.

How about thinking of all the useful things you can do and with which other people would be glad of some paid help.  Make a price list for dog walking, cutting grass, baby sitting, ironing, shopping, cat feeding, car washing, etc) - typed and printed off so that it looks professional.

The adult minimum wage is £5.25 per hour, so you need to undercut that!

Answer 17

Paper round, or washing peoples cars

Answer 18

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!
