Summer Job...do I need a phone number to put on the application.?

Question

Alright, my parents are being totally irresponsible with money and whatnot, so for one reason or another, I don't have a phone..[[which is hard.]] not a home or cell. Will this ruin my chances of getting a job, becuase the companies can't get in touch with me easily. I have e-mail, but I don't know how likely it is that jobs that teens get will use that to get in touch with you. I just turned 17 and really need my own money and income so that I'm not reliant on my parents. Any tips or suggestions will help so much. I really need to know if I need a phone number or if they can contact me through e-mail..?

Update:

We don't have a phone...and that's the problem that I have..

A phone number seems to be a vital standard however you may want to use an email address to be connected as far as a contact.  Just let the employer know.

if you get an interview they will most likely notify you by phone
which means that you need to write down a phone number

how about you write your friend's phone number or
your parent's. they will call that number and they can
leave a message for you there.
good luck
