You’re right – it will be difficult. Therefore you have to prove that you have qualities that others do not have. How can you prove you are reliable? Do you interact with others, including people of various ages? Can you take orders and use initiative?

You might already have some of the answers (and not realise it!). What do you do outside school hours? Examine your past lifestyle and see if there is anything that would prove to employers you are the one. Incorporate these facts in a short summary – for a summer job one A4 sheet is enough (since people are too busy to read any more).

Do you know anybody in business? In Ireland the best way of getting a job is by previous contacts. Ask politely if anybody is looking for summer help, and stress that you will do anything reasonable.

You can also copy your summary/CV and leave it with various shops, businesses, etc, but don’t forget to follow it up with a personal visit a week later. Don’t wear jeans, look clean and smile as you had it in (Address it to the “Manager”, and always provide an individual address for each business, rather than handing a generic envelope). If you think they’re interested, do a little research about their business beforehand, so you can anticipate some questions if you receive them.

Above all, keep trying and remember that you have a lot to offer!

Good luck.

Mikey answers:

Just think of something you like to do and find a way to apply it.

Me, I like good conversation and meeting new people generally….so I am going to start working at a coffee shop where the manager was a college professor in theology.

Something like that.

Mikey answers:

Go to the nearest McDonald’s, Burger King, and Taco Bell; they are always hiring especially in the summer.

Mikey answers:

I like eTeenJobs. They have a great website set up for teenagers looking for summer jobs. They help you start thinking about your career after school and have tons of information.

Mikey answers:

A few things:

- References can be anything, including teachers. Family isn’t suggested.
- The fact that you say that the jobs you’ve applied for weren’t the right job for you shows that you aren’t being realistic. At this point in summer, you should be happy with ANY job.
- A good place to start is to just get out and look around. What stores do you frequent, and do they have job openings? You’re going up against adults who are unemployed, so just know that you may not get one this year. Summer jobs should be secured BY the end of May.

Mikey answers:

You can probably get a job in retail. Most stores hire seasonal employees.

When I was 17 and had almost no work experience (I had had 1 under the table job), I was hired at PacSun even though I was gone for a week in July.

Go to the mall and ask everyone if they’re hiring. If they are, apply! Don’t say anything about going on vacation unless there’s a spot for it on the application.

Mikey answers:

Try working at an animal shelter. It may give you some of the service hours that you may need to graduate also.

Or try going to the mall and working at footlocker or something like that, you would get employee discounts and a paycheck.
