Summer Jobs For My Friend And Me .

How can I make friends during summer?

I understand completely about the whole im not a shy person but i usually don't approach people and start talking randomly. I am the exact same way but i seriously recommend you to do this because what is the worst that is going to happen? They give you a strange look and walk away? Normally no people will answer you back and if they are out going they will start to talk to you as well. A summer job like others said is the way to go you meet a lot of new people around your age if you get the right kind of job. Also maybe try taking up a some sort of hobby class in your neighbour hood for example if you are in to music maybe take group music lessons i know some places do that. Im not really sure what hobbies you are in to or what your city offers but there will definitely be something ! I hope this helps and motivates you

I can't find a summer job?!?!?!!?

this year is the worse in 30+ years for teens to find employment. the businesses that usually are willing to work with part-time, short-term, flexible schedule employes such as restaurants and retail are not hiring nearly as many people as in the past. you are having to compete for jobs with adults who are trying to support their families.
(unemployment continues to go up and the only jobs created in the past 6-7 years are service sector jobs that use to be the realm of teens and senior citizens)

you must continue to apply and be sure to follow-up with a call in about a week to check on the status of your application. broaden your prospects by being open to different shifts and do not limit the days you will work. any job is what YOU make of it, do not worry about what anyone else thinks. your jobs, as a teen, are for gaining experience, saving money for your education, buying that first car, spending cash for your days off, new clothes for school..... etcetera.


different companies have different policies about hiring minors so just apply the worse thing that can happen is they say no.

plan your job hunting for times of the day you will have an opportunity to speak with a manger. be prepared, bring pen and clipboard so if they prefer you fill it out at the location you can do so neatly. bring extra copies of your list of references, since you don't have much work experience great personal references are very important.
when you go dress neat, clean, and appropriately for the business, be polite and ask for an application and the appropriate time to bring it back. for references talk to teachers, clergy, coaches, anyone you have done casual labor for, friends parents etcetera be sure to ask if you can use them as a reference and let them know to expect calls from prospective employers.

for more info about working go to "youthrules" there are links for teens, employers, parents and educators for each state.

A summer job where I can goof off with my friend?

Well for every job you're gonna have to do SOME work and have some responsibilities. I'd recommend a drive-in movie theater. Me and my friend are applying to work at one this summer together, and they're usually always looking for people. Alls you have to do usually is work a cash register and take orders and give them to the cooks and stuff. But other than that you can eat all the free food you want and joke around and talk. Maybe they're not all the same though but it's not really hard work I don't think. That's really all I can think of. Usually privately owned business will be easier and more laid back. Good luck summer job hunting!

Should i get this one "job" this summer...?

BE AT THE ZOO. YOULL MEET MORE PEOPLE AND SEE OUR ANCESTERS FROM THE BEGINNING OF CREATION - -THE BABOONS ! ! ! YOU CAN BAT THE BALL BACK AND FORTH LATER. YOU CAN LEARN MORE AT THE ZOO. JUST THINK YOU MIGHT WANT TO BE A VETERINARIAN SOMEDAY OR WORK FOR RINGLING BROTHERS CIRCUS WITH THE ANIMALS. GO WHERE EDUCATION ABOUNDS. DO IT ! ! !

A friend and I are moving to Las Vegas sometime this summer. Are many jobs available?

Well, in the past year, I've lived in Portland, Phoenix, Dayton, and Las Vegas/Henderson. Out of all of them, I got a job in Vegas the fastest. I personally think this place is bustling with jobs, so long as you're willing to after them. There are still jobs to be found in off strip casinos, and many local places are doing moderate hiring.
Craig's list is your friend. So are any and all casino websites. That's where I've always gotten work. However, if you do work in a casino, you'll need to be sure and get your TAM and health cards all straightened out.
If you do move down here, be sure to stay in a decent part of town. Look into Henderson area. Stay out of central vegas and the Nellis area. Stuff by the Galleria isn't the best, but it's moderatly nice, and won't run you an arm and a leg.
Best way to ensure your security here is to look nice, and have your ducks in a row. Looks will take you far (esp. on the strip), and a nice looking resume wouldn't hurt.
That's the best I've got lol. Yuo can email me if you have any other questions.

Should i help my friend get a job at my work place?

Last summer i worked at a local water park and really enjoyed it. Yet alot of people don't want to work there because of the conditions (heat, customers, really long hours,). My friend quit her job at Dunkin Donuts last May to take an extended summer vacation to Columbia to visit her mom's family. When she got back she was hired back at Dunkin Dounts even though it was under new managment. She had the perfect job! and after my seasonal water park job i applied there and got a job. It was a nice enviornment (the manger was a little annoying but hey nothings perfect right?). A few weeks later she quit saying how she hated the manager and she didn't get enough hours and how she always had to make donuts (etc). So a few weeks later i left too because of school and everything. Now its January and I'm starting to recieve my re-hire info for my water park job. She's been unemployed for almost 4 months and is starting to act like a ***** because she has no money.So she told me the other day to help hook her up with a job at the water park. I love my friend dearly but, she is a constant complainer and i know she would hate every minute of it. She claims she wouldn't but, I've known her for years and I know that after a few weeks she would be ready to tear the place up. And i don't want her there making my "dream job" a living hell. Yet i know how bad she needs the money. Is it selfish of me or does it make me not a good friend to not help her get a job?

I'm 17... all my friends have a job except for me? =( Help? 10 Points?

I had the same problem. I'm 16 and all of my friends have cars and jobs and I had neither. So I applied just about everywhere. Just know it does take time for them to call you. I applied to Best Buy and they called back that day for an interview and it had been the last place I applied to over two months and the only one that had called back to that point. I got the job and about a week later, three other places I applied to like a month ago called me back! Sometimes it'll just take time. I suggest applying to places you see a lot of younger people working at.
Best Buy, Target, Burger King, I've read those are all teen-friendly.
Two other places that called me back are Outback Steakhouse and Sonic Drive-In, which means they'll hire teens. Don't give up. If you're applying online, those personallity tests have to be passed or they're not even able to look at your application.. LITERALLY! Just know that you're not being hired because of our age, not your race. Honestly I see many companies that look to have diverse employees and if you feel otherwise, apply more online and don't list your race, then impress them when you go to an interview. Best of luck!
