Where Can I Find a Summer Job?
I am a student hoping to find work for the summer.
Most of my friends got jobs through connections, but I simply don’t have any.
Whenever I look online I seem to find scams or jobs not suitable for my time framee.
I want to be an author in the future but know that I will have a hard time finding part time work related to this area.
Thank you for any help.

Can anyone help me find a summer job for teens 14-15 years old?
Every summer job I’ve been looking at is for 16+ and since the economy is so bad right now my mom can’t give me allowance anymore. That means no money for me this summer. But I do need money this summer! I need a paying summer job that isn’t anywhere out of the area of kent/renton area (washington). Please help
Mikey answers:
My sister is a case manager in Ohio for a program (through the state) called Workforce Development Resource Center, WDRC and they specialize in helping develop young people for better jobs. Try programs called Workforce Investment Act (WIA) or maybe a local Department of Jobs and Family Services (DJFS). Best of luck to you!
Sandy asks…
Where can I find a summer job that will hire a 16 year old girl? Do you know anyone who is hiring?
Summer jobs, part time, full time, willing to work anytime.
Mikey answers:
Most fast food places have a high turn over, if they are not hiring now they will be, and they do not wait for someone to walk in they go to their application files. It is hard work but gives great work ethics and inspires the intelligent to git a education so they can git a good job.

How to find a summer job when you’re 16?
Hi,I’m a High School sophomore just finishing up classes and I’m looking for my first summer job, but I don’t know where to start, what should I do?
Mikey answers:
When You are 16 the job possibilities are almost limitless as long as the job is not considered hazardous.
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.
If you want to work there are many jobs available, it is a matter of how mature you are and how badly you want your own money.
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.

Betty asks…
How do I find a summer Job?
I tried to find a summer job last may but no one would hire me. So now I have debt and in studying a stupid program that is worthless.
Other kids are in good programs and I tried to switch but they told me that I’m stupid and had to stay where I am.
Kids are already graduating and happy while I an sad and jealous.
What can I do to change my life around?
My mother told me to study in this program.
Mikey answers:
Try looking for a summer job in the local hamburger joints. You will not earn as much as you wish you would, but you will still be receiving a salary that can help you as far as paying off your debt that you currently have.
In regards to the program that you are in, just try to keep an open mind as far as it is concerned and study hard so that you will be able to pass into the next program that is available.
