How to get a job as a teenager

  • Volunteer for things. (Churches, clubs, school activities, etc.)
  • Apply as soon as you hear about the job offering
  • You can apply for more than one job at a time.
  • You can’t be too picky on what you want to do, but something you’re interested in. But remember, it’s just a teen job
  • Go over and practice on what you are going to say.
  • Make sure your references are accurate and approved.

During an interview:

  • After you apply, try to talk to the manager, but don’t be a burden.
  • When you go to your interview, make sure you dress dressy, but not too dressy.
  • Be confident and determined in your interview. Also, make sure you show those things.
  • Be prepared for the questions that you might be asked.
  • Speak up, sit up straight, and be “full on” with your questions and answers.
  • Have a resume!
  • Be aware of your body language.
  • Arrive between 5-10 minutes early.
  • Let your personality show when you’re interviewing. Be nice and friendly. The interviewer wants to see who you are and what you have to offer.
  • When you are greeting your interviewer, greet them with a handshake and a smile.
  • Make good eye contact.
  • Avoid rambling.
  • Thank the interviewer for their time.
