work!

[Ryan218]

why is is so hard to get a damn job at 16! :(

2 months of looking and putting in aplications countless interviews about 75 bucks in gas going from place to place.


if i had to guess, ive put in atleast 30+ applications into variours place.




:bangwall:

[DeckerEnt]

What are you looking for?? At 16, employers aren't going to give you much credit cause you don't have any in their eyes. Face facts, you aren't going to get a 40,000 a year job while you are still in high school.

Located in Hilliard?

Scott here from Jax Wax. Give me a shout - Might be able to help if you like going to car shows and events.

Thanks.

[92StangMan]

Go to Kroger -- they'll hire anyone with a pulse.

[PaulFiveOh]

variours places

:eek:

Something I had to learn when I was 16.....Swallow it up, there is no glamerous job for a 16 year old. But you know what.....

I know many Landscapers that will happily pay you 11 or 12 bucks under the table if your not afraid to sweat.

If you know your way around concrete, or at least can be a wheel man (250lb wheel barrels of concrete), then someone will always hire you!

Also, dont be afraid to go sign up at a temp service.

[Johnson1134]

yeah im 30 and have been layed off from 2 construction jobs and eagle coach this year!still looking for another good job!

[MsBlkramair]

Shoot.........try job hunting for a funeral home service position when you aren't fully licence yet! Pain in the ass. Very small community of s job, and a lot is family owned (hard to get in). But I still forge ahead..........can't wait to graduate this year and be done as a student!

[MrsAPE]

I don't see anywhere in his post that he's not happy with money being offered. Just that he's not getting hired. Maybe my eyes are going. Good Luck Ryan!! The right one will come along.

Ryan, Don't know what you are looking for, but I would think that restaurants hire all the time. I worked restaurants all through high school and college. But with the job market the way it is, I wouldn't be surprised at anything. Good Luck!!!

Ryan is the wrong "Ethnicity" to be hired by a fast food restaurant these days. this isnt a slam or a joke, it is a fact.

[ibstrokin]

Ryan, There are many tricks to a good interview. Clothing (properly worn), hygiene, eye contact, speech, body language, attitude, respect. You can do all of this right, and still not get the job, but it always helps to try and instill confidence.

[facemelter71]

What kinda job you lookin for?I know alot of people and so does my dad,and im sure that between the two of us we can dig up a job for you.Let me know.

Pizza delivery driver. I got my driving experience doing that at 16. It was fun, left every night with a full tank of gas and some cash in my pocket, and got a paycheck on friday. I did put alot of miles on my car though. Back then I was driving a 73 Charger.

Ryan, if you've ever had pizza by the fountains at Kings Island, then you've eaten LaRosa's.

good luck with the job hunt.

[Mista Bone]

Due to you still being a student, and under 18, doubt you can get on here........

FedEx Freight has openings for part-time dock employees. Pay starts around $12-13/hr with morning and evening shifts. You will be driving a forklift 70% of the time and have opportunities for advancement. This position is pretty flexible on hours.

They are also in need of a part-time office associate. You will be responsible for taking calls, answering emails, and billing. I am unsure of what the pay starts.

Anyone considered for a position will be subject to a drug test prior to your first day of work. They do not do randoms.

Note: You MUST apply at the center, there is no other way of applying. If you do apply, dress nice. If you would like a referral (no incentive for me), let me know. Highschool Diploma/GED is required.

Center info:

FedEx Freight
4445 Weaver Court North
Hilliard, Ohio 43026

or a porter at a car lot, washing and detailing, being 16 likely someone else would bring you the cars.

[HRSEPWR]

have you tried valet parking??? some of your nicer establishments will have valet. I did this for a second job on weekends in college, it was a kick ass job, get paid to drive someone elses car. Granted you don't take it very far but still was fun. :bigthumb
