Hey Tom B Stone love your new avitar sorry I had to do the play on your name tooo hehehehe Oh Skittles it is tough for teens to get a job here to, specially when you have no experience, my oldest can attest to that. I think it is the lack of experience that gets the worst of teens.

Re: I cant do it i just cant!
Why can't you get a job, Skittles? Bosses won't hire you, transportation, you can't find a job you like, what exactly is holding you back?

Re: I cant do it i just cant!
I went through this with my son and I’ve struggled with it as an employer. Probably the biggest problem those under 18 years old face is labor law. The law is written to protect and what it really does is reject. The jobs that can be done by younger, willing workers are filled quickly because there are so many more workers than jobs. It is hurting us as a nation. Our young people are missing out on the opportunity to learn how to work and we will all miss out because of it later.
Skittles, don't give up. Dress for success and expect it when you look for work. You may even have to volunteer for a little while. That will allow you to prove your worth to a potential employer. |

Re: I cant do it i just cant!
Well Skittles .. it depends on what you were applying for and what kind of wages you were asking.. You are to be commended though for trying.... way too often today I am seeing kids just hanging out.. no idea what a job is much less work ethic..
And I do agree Clint.. the laws are pretty restrictive as far as the hours that someone can work, the kind of work they can do etc... especially if they are under 18. Most of them are to protect them from employer abuse.. but some of them are pretty ridiculous.. I mean I worked in kitchens at 15.. using all the equipment.. slicers etc.. nowadays that is a major taboo.. and if the company is caught breaking any of the child labor laws.. big bucks.. very large dinero.... anyway.. Keep trying Skittles. keep us informed.. I am sure that there is a ton of interviewing experience here that you can draw on....
