A job for a 16-year-old?

Job looking for a 15-16 year old.?

  • Hey everyone, I am 15 years old and my birthday is January 9th. I was wondering if I had to wait until age 16 to start applying for jobs. I was thinking I could start calling up local stores and shops telling them I will be turning 16 in exactly two months. Would this be out of the question? Would they say no right off the bat? Would they tell me to come back when I turn 16? Would this lower my chances of getting the job even when I turn 16? Also I want to know if they would even be able to hire a 15 year old even though my birthday is close? Sorry for all these questions. I am just extremely excited to start job hunting and possibly even get a job. I live in Connecticut if it matters.

  • Answer:

    fast food place . or pet store or journeys ( shoe store ) (16 and up) or game store (16 and up )

I'm 15 and have just got a job in a local hotel, i found mine by going on google maps and typing in like "hotels in...." and then contacting all of the ones it came up with in my area it took a while but i figured one of them would need help and it paid off. I'm from the uk btw might be different laws in america but here you can't work on tills because you cant serve alcohol until your 18 and you cant work with animals or dangerous equipment : )

I would wait unyil you were 16 and then you will probablys get a better job then;)

I don't think by law they would be able to hire underage but for now a paper round or something will probably show an employer when you do turn 16 that you really do want to work it's so hard getting a job let alone being your age from my experience I would seriously stay in education i'm 18 and i'm stuck at the moment I can't find a job and/or an apprenticeship because I'v just done my level 1 in motor mechanics it's hard trust me
