mylesshivers Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Howdy y'all. I just turned 16 years old yesterday and got a f-150. I have to pay for my own gas and half my insurance. I would also like to do a sick install. So I am in need of a job quickly. I live in a country town full of Georgia stores...Kaufman tires, every food chain, Walmart, etc. (I can't think of much more) BUT the point of this post is to ask for job searching techniques, and job "ideas". I have applied to 4-5 places this past week, (Patience is key) but I want to get my name out there. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIDE SHOW Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 get off the net and go drop off your resumes...... (keep in mind bigger companys usually pay more ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 At your age, I'd apply at every grocery store, retail store(walmart), gas station, and restaurant in town. A job as a busser or host at a good food place could earn you tips, if you get in good with the servers.

mylesshivers Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I have a resume, are there any key tips to making it stand out from the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Look for key words in the job description and make sure those words are on your resume under skills or job experience. What do you have on your resume as a 16yo? SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yurvalentine Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I signed on with the school district in my area for custodial work, that was a great job. Paid pretty decent and worked around my high school schedule perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
