How do you get a job if you are 13?

Answer 1

If you make one for yourself. Let your neighbors know that you are willing to work, and will do odd jobs, such as raking lawns, mowing, weeding, taking out trash, helping clean out basements and garages, washing cars, or whatever they need done. Take a regular piece of typing paper and fold it in half, and then fold it in half again. In each rectangle that is outlined by folds, clearly print your name, phone number, address, and the kinds of work that you want. Take that piece of paper somewhere and get copies made of it. Save the master copy, because you will use it again! Cut the copies up into individual rectangles and put them in mail boxes, under windshield wipers, hand them to people when you ring their doorbell, and keep a few with you to hand out to people whenever you get the chance. Don't be disappointed if you don't get results the first day or few. But keep handing out the flyers, and ringing doopbells. Be careful that you don't take on more work than you can handle! Be sure that you do a good job, and don't worry about how much you will get paid. Soon, you will be turning work away.

Answer 2

Realistically, you probably don't. The jobs a 13-year-old can legally do are extremely limited. Your best bet is probably to become "self-employed" doing things like babysitting, mowing yards, shoveling snow, delivering newspapers, or the like, because essentially no employer (that you're not related to) is going to hire you.
