at 15 you can not be picky.........................................
McDonald's is one of the employers that make an effort to work with minors and all of their special needs and request. most employers won't hire at 15 because of the limited availability but many restaurants go out of their way to work with those limits. when you go to apply check your attitude at the door and don't worry about what you won't do and focus on proving what you can do......................................

places you can work at 14 or older include:
office,
grocery store,
retail store,
restaurant(not just fast-food),
lodging facilities,
movie theater,
baseball park,
municipal parks,
amusement park, or
gasoline service station just to name a few……………….


different companies have different policies about hiring minors so just apply the worse thing that can happen is they say no. when you go dress neat, clean, and appropriately for the business, be polite and ask for an application and the appropriate time to bring it back. you will need references so talk to teachers, clergy, coaches, anyone you have done casual labor for, friends parents etcetera be sure to ask if you can use them as a reference and let them know to expect calls from employers

info about work permits, hours a minor can work, total number of hours each week etcetera got to:
http://www.youthrules.dol.gov
there are links for teens, parents, employers and educators for each state.


EDIT:
---simply,me---- great answer until you got to the age bit.
the age can be asked you just can't discriminate based on age for those over 40.
minors have to provide proof of age before they can work and must tell their age before being hired due to the legal limits of the hours of the day they may be scheduled. because of those limits minors can be denied employment due to AGE.

This was posted 7 years ago so your about 21-22 now. The laws have obviously changed since then and I'm turning 15 in a few months and a few of my friends have jobs but I don't know how I go about getting a job today. I would really appreciate if someone could give an up to date list of jobs and how to get a job create a CV etc. Thanks in advance to anyone whose kind enough to help :)
