<p>I want to get an after school/weekend job, since I need some money. I've never had a regular high school kid job before, and I'm not really sure how to go about looking for one. How do you guys go about looking for a job? Do you just go walk around and look for "Help Wanted" signs? Apply online? Classified? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>If I knew I would have a job now too. I have been looking for 2 years now and have been unable to find a job. All the white preppy girls and guys get the jobs in my small town area. Even the white regular guys complain about it let alone any minorities having a job. In my whole time living in my area there has been only about 5 minorities I have seen working in about the 10+ stores in my area. Good Luck.</p>
<p>omg... ^ .</p>
<p>Applying online has never worked for me.</p>
<p>craigslist :)</p>
<p>i'd go to places you regularly go to. For example, I'm like bffs with my teen librarian, so I asked her for a job-can you say $8/hr for sitting and reading books? heeeck yeah.</p>
<p>I live in the Bay Area, California so there are tons of places and not too much discrimination against minorities.</p>
<p>Is it ok if I ask for job applications where there are no "Help Wanted" signs? Would that be rude, or is it conventional?</p>
<p>Just walk around with copies of your resume. Doesn't matter if there's no "help wanted" sign. Just go in, ask for the manager, tell him/her that you're looking for a part time job and leave a resume. I know it sounds intimidating but once you get started it's not bad. Good luck!</p>
<p>use your hook-ups. i'm assuming you have some friends with jobs...ask around to see who's hiring and who's not. My friend just got me a job at quiznos, and earlier in the holiday season my other friend got me a job at a department store</p>
<p>just go there and ask if they have a job application.</p>
<p>i did that to like 234234 places hahaha. ok, maybe just 10.
but they were all friendly and got me one right away :D</p>
<p>just ask!</p>
<p>What should I include on my "resume"? Do they only care about your work experience? Do they look at grades, ECs, etc.?</p>
<p>check your inbox! :D</p>
<p>yeah, going into a bunch of places and filling out applications is what you really have to do. I went into about 12 places in 3 different towns a couple months ago. I only ended up with one offer, but a couple of the places ended up calling after a couple months.</p>
<p>I'm looking, too. It seems as if jobs are easy to get a grocery stores and places like dunkin donuts, etc. Those places can always use part time help!</p>
<p>Go in and ask for the manager. Tell the manager a little bit about yourself and ask if they are hiring. Whatever you do, do not just ask for an application from a regular employee. Make sure you've spoken to the manager before you've turned it in. Also, call back every couple weeks and see if anything opened up.</p>
<p>I went job hunting two summers ago and applied to a number of places, but didn't get hired until school started. Also, when you go in where something a little nicer than you normally would.</p>
