Job searching

[therunaway]

So, I turned 14 last Monday, & I got an application for a work permit today from school, & now I'm job searching. Do you guys know of any places that hire at age 14 w/ work permits?

Yikes, your options are probably going to be very limited at that age. Might try some local businesses. I doubt many chain stores/restaurants hire kids your age. I would keep an eye out on CL and your local paper for ads. Snow is coming, so chances are you can score some snow removal jobs in the near future.

I think some grocery store chains will hire that young. Otherwise, I agree with the suggestion to find smaller business that might not have corporate CYA policies.

Ooh, good call. Grocers often hire younger kids for bag boys and such.

Thanks for the quick input, I have a friend who worked at Baskin Robbins at 14, so I think I'll head down there tomorrow after school. Any more suggestions are welcome.

I know in my state some of the grocery stores definitely will hire at 14. I have a 13-year-old who's already plotting his financial independence

And good for you!

I live in Canada, so it might be different. Doesn't McDonald's hire at 14?

I got my first job when i was 14 and I pumped gas. It was the only place in town that did that. I know that a few grocery stores here will hire at that age and also had a job washing cars and doing detail work at a local used car lot on the days I had off from my first job. I would try seeing if a used car lot could use someone like that too.

Find a small local business and they may just be willing to pay you under the table since youre still underage. I know a few 15y/o friends who did that. Im pretty sure 14 is too young to work in CT tho unless its under the table. I know you have to be 16 to work at my facility. Its a nursing and rehab center though.

EDIT: lol im not really sure if that^ violates the TOS here... If getting paid under the table is considered "illegal activities" then disregard all my advice J.

Well. Mike. Er. IM NOT ILLEGAL! :p I think I'm either gonna go check at 31 flavors or go try at this book store I spend a lot of time at.
