Where to work? 17/M?

Question

I'm going out of my mind being at home all summer and it's only been 2 weeks. I've applied at so many places: Red Robin, TGI Friday's, Target, PetSmart, Heinen's, FYE, Acme, And who knows how many i can't remember. PetCo and Radio shack require you to be 18. I'm out of ideas and seriously about to rip my hair out. I've looked around to the little shops around town but nothing interesting.

Heinen's manager is going out of town so I'm not counting on a call back, and I just applied at FYE 2 days ago so I'm gonna wait 5 more to call. But I don't have my heart set on it, I doubt they want a 17 year old selling stuff.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance =]

Answer 1

hey man.

try winn-dixie, publix, albersons and stores like those.

Answer 2

Go back to the stores you applied to or call them. Tell them that your name, that you applied a week or so ago, and ask if they're still interested. You'll be far more likely to find a job if you take the initiative than if you just wait for them to call you.
