I'm scared about my first part-time job. Any tips?
-
To start off im 16 and in grade 11. Whats been bothering me lately is both my friends and my boyfriend have gotten jobs and don't have time to hang out as much. I'm really jealous of how they talk about it because they always say how they enjoy it so much and the fact that now they can buy things they couldn't afford before. My parents are the type of people who want me to get a job as soon as possible since both of them worked when they were 16 and so did my sister who is 25 now. I really want to get a job but it seems almost impossible now to get one unless you know someone who is currently working there or has before. Im terribly shy and I feel like I'll choke in the interview because I have no experience and Im clumsy under pressure. I do have a reference letter from my piano teacher who has taught me for 10 years now but I cant seem to make a good resume. I want to get a job before high school, preferably a summer job but I don't know where would be a good place to start. My friend works at the movie theater (its her first job) and said that they hire about 10 people for the summer but also said when she applied when they were hiring that many there were almost 70 people applying! I know that once I get job I'll be able to handle it but im just scared of being rejected because im not good enough and its my first time. Advice?

Send in an application and apply to as many places as you can. once you've submitted it follow up by walking in and saying somethhing like hey i was wondering if i could get an interview. NEVER call. YOu can't hire someone over the phone always go in and dont give up. nag them
