Tips for getting a job when your 17?

Help! Tips for getting a job?

• I'm 18, I quit my job a few weeks ago (and yes I realize how stupid it was to quit my job without having another) and have been looking for another one. I sent out lots of resumes but haven't gotten any calls yet :(. I has hoping someone could please give some tips on job hunting. My last job was my first and I got it through co op so I didn't have to have an interview or anything so this is all new to me. Any tips you have would be helpful. Thanks!

• Answer:

  You should look up business online that need employees in your area. Something should come up if you just type in help wanted ads in "your town" or Job openings and hand your resume to these specific places. Often jobs will come up that you didn't think of putting a resume into. Make sure you ask to give your resume to the manager and leave a good impression. Always exhibit high energy and friendliness when talking to managers or associates. During interviews act the same way and make sure you ask questions, it shows initiative. Make it seem like you really want the job and are eager to work even if it is just Walmart or McDonalds. Good luck!
