• Answer:

  This may be a tricky situation. You may need your parents to check in the phone book and make some calls. Get your parents to explain to the organization the hours your available. Any organization is going to have to talk to your parents. You may not get the job you want right now, but you will make good contacts. Through the school year keep in touch. When these organizations know your dependable and dedicated they might find a place for you. Think of it as securing future opportunities. It won't be time wasted. Good luck.
