<p>sometimes even going back and talking to the manager doesn't help. I did that with two places and still never got called. I applied at another place and was called back two days later, and they were even willing to hire me knowing I was leaving in 6 weeks. It all depends on where you apply. I'm starting to think that corporations suck, though.</p>

<p>IF you are old enough to get a job waiting tables, it can be really profitable. The place I'm waiting tables not so much, 'cause it's just like a grill/diner place that doesn't even use real plates. The place I hope to be waiting tables at night soon people can make 150 a night just in tips. If you're 18, by all means, go wait tables at a place who serves alcohol and you'll make a lot of money.</p>

<p>how? to find such an opp.</p>

<p>There are tons of places where I live (PA) that hire teens not only over the summer, but whenever. </p>

<p>You can work at an area tutoring center; I work at Kumon Math & Reading and the other day the manager was telling me to recommend to her some of my friends cuz they were that desperate for more teen tutors. Granted, you have to pass the diagnostic test which indicates that you know what you're gonna be tutoring though. It's opened 2 times a week from 4-8, so it's a very convenient time-frame, albeit the pay's minumum wage $7.25 an hour. But whatever, it's still money.</p>

<p>Jobs means connections. If you apply to a job just based on things like your resume, experience, and education, you'll have an extremely tough time. If you make the right connections on your own starting early you can get big time jobs even when you're still young. Me, for example, am getting a good $10 p.hr. paying semi-white-collar job for whatever hours I want by a local company. I'm still deciding what hours I want but it's extremely luxurious compared to searching through craiglist and other mediums. Connections are key. They blow out almost every other factor.</p>
