Teenage 16 years old jobs.?

Most fast food and retail chains train people to do several different things. even when you are trained for the cash register you might be be assigned to cook one day and take out the trash another day.

You need to start applying for work and hope to be offered a job. Fill out the application correctly and think about your appearance. For example avoid wearing t-shirts or hats with any type of "message". It's important to look right when asking for an application - not just for a job interview. That's because you might go into a place to get an application and actually have a chance to get interviewed right away.

Search for some online resources that can help you prepare to apply for work. Study now and you will be ready to start applying for jobs when you turn 16. Have a happy birthday.

That's a fair question, but the difference is the maturity level, and the culture. you say in South Africa they can't live off the government, that being said it sends a message to the young teens that if something were to happen and they get pregnant they have the responsibility to take care of the baby on their own. but in other places they are sent a different message, have a baby and don't worry , we will help you , now I'm NOT saying mom's should not get help, let me make that very clear, there are teens that have a baby and really weren't "trying" but its the ones who get pregnant on purpose because they know that they will be taken care of by the government and think they know how to raise a child just by being a good baby sitter , they don't think things through. its those immature teens that give it a bad wrap, yes some teen moms are wonderful, just as some older moms are horrid. but once again its the maturity level , those older moms still need to grow up and realize hey I have a responsibility and need to be a parent ,life isent about me any more. we as a socity expect a 20-30 year old to be mature ,have a job and be able to care for a child properly . where as a 16 year old hasen't even graduated high school or really held a job yet, so in places like the US the rate among teens is higher than anywhere else because we allow them to receive money so easily instead of being like other Countries like South Africa where its more of a , you did it ,you are responsible for it. this ,by the way , is geared more for the teens that get pregant on pourpose. not for the ones that actually do take the responsibility and step up . Oh and as for our grandparents actually it the great grandparents time you are refering to , yes they did get married earlier , but they also had to work earlier, most dident graduate, the mothers stayed at home and rasied thier kids , they were more responsible and most all did not have sex till they were married , they were more respectible, the divorice rate was lower, and they also did not live as long .oh there was no government help either, so thats why it wasen't frowned upon.

If you are in England then you cant work in mcdonalds or any restaurant because of health and safety. I am also 16 and have a job however i started looking from the age of 15. You wouldnt want to work in mcdonalds anyway. From what i have seen, its very stressful and your under a lot of pressure. Maybe try voluntery work as this looks great on a CV. print off CV's and give them to as many retail stores as possible.

Good Luck
