Where to look for jobs for minors between 16 and 18?

Is there a website that list local stores that are hiring? I have no idea where to start to look for a job. I'm guessing there's an easier way than walking into local stores and asking for a job? How do if a place is hiring? Whats the easiest way to look for a job?

Best way to find out is to ask. Usually only places that take part-time workers will take minors due to labor laws/school requirements.





Suggestions: fast food restaurants, retail (the Gap, Macy's, Borders, Staples, Best Buy, etc.), Starbucks, etc. I asked a store if they were hiring, and they said no, not at the time. However, when I heard that they were hiring, I went and was given a job. The HR manager had conducted an impromtu, informal interview and liked me. She remembered me when I came in to formally interview.





Ask your friends where they are working and if they're hiring.





You can try monster.com and other larger career sites, but they typically are aimed toward fulltimers. Try craigslist.org for some ideas. Some sites aimed towards teens include snagajob.com and summerjobs.com. Good luck!
Reply:You should ask around and see where your friends work..it all depends on where you live. You should try working at an amusement park or waterpark or something fun like that!
Reply:Go door to door in your town and ask..try looking for organizations that hire minors or can get minors jobs..there are a few youth programs that help you find jobs..or like I said get dressed in causal yet nice clothes and walk door to door and ask..If you don't ask they dont know you need a job and if nothing else someone in store might set you to the right direction even if they don't hire you ..
Reply:the best way to get a good paying job as a minor is to start as a dishwasher.yes it is demanding work. but a job that requires perfection. No one wants dirty dish's. especially a patron and it looks great at future jobs.
