What is a job you can get when your two months away from turning sixteen? except fast food.?

Answer 2

Babysitting, newspaper delivery, mowing lawns, walking dogs, possibly retail depending on hiring laws where you live?

Answer 3

IF you want a job at 15 YOU can NOT be picky............

fast-food and grocery stores are the largest employers of 14 and 15 year old employees in the US. fast-food is the largest employer of teens, tweens and retirees in the US.

fast-food may not be a career for you but there is no better way to learn about work-ethic, job-skills, teamwork, interpersonal skills, punctuality and dependability. these are skills you must develop before most employers will even consider you for employment.

at 15 there are limits on when and how much you can work. most companies have their own policies concerning the hiring of minors so the only way to know about individual businesses is to apply.

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.

for info about hours you can work, work permit, job suggestions, interview information etcetera go to: http://www.youthrules.dol.gov

there are links for each state with info for employers, educators, parents and TEENS

at 14 or older you can work in an:

office,

grocery store,

retail store,

restaurant,

lodging facilities,

movie theater,

baseball park,

municipal parks(city or county),

amusement park, or

gasoline service station just to name a few……………….

you also have all the options available to those under 14:

You can deliver, or sell at a street stand, newspapers and periodicals (selling subscriptions is not allowed)

You can work as an actor or performer in motion pictures, television, theater or radio.

You can work in a business solely owned or operated by your parents.

You can work on a farm owned or operated by your parents.

When school is out of session you can work on a private farm picking and selling fruits and vegetables.

(most agriculture employment falls under a different set of laws not part of FLSA and in some states allows agricultural employment as young as 10)

you always have the options of casual labor(working for an individual):

You can mow lawns and other yard work(as casual labor only)

You can clean houses(as casual labor only)

You can wash cars(as casual labor only)

You can Tutor(as casual labor only)

You can work as a pet-sitter/dog-walker(as casual labor only)

You can assist the elderly.(as casual labor only)

You can work as a baby-sitter.(as casual labor only and some states do restrict the age for baby-sitting)

just to name a few ideas............................

Answer 5

I know that in the state I live in you have to be 16 to get a job, and if you are under 16 you have to get a worker license. When you are 16 though you would more than likely be able to get on at a variety of places. Retail is a good choice, there are a lot of shops that hire teens.

retail. kmart, walmart, target.  cashiers, sales associate, baby sitting, tutoring little kids, walking dogs, helping elderly with their chores. i don't know, i am working at kmart right now because there are no jobs anywhere and i see a lot of teenagers like you, you should apply on line.  www.mykmart.com/jobs.good luck to you.
