Question

Dunkin' Donuts. I have a lot near me, i want to work as the cashier or something like that. I am 16 years old, turning 17 in january. Going into the 11th grade. Am i old enough??

Answer 1

you are old enough to work the key is your maturity, dedication, ability to follow instructions, work as part of a team, punctuality and ability to communicate your assets to a potential employer.

since you are young and inexperienced the first impression you make is critical. be sure when you go to apply that you are dressed appropriately that you go when the business is slow and ask for a manager, introduce yourself and politely ask for an application and the appropriate time to bring it back. you must have great references so talk to coaches, teachers, clergy, friends parents, anyone you have done casual labor for or places you have volunteered. make sure you ask them if you may use them for a reference and get current contact information for them.
