Where can a 14 year old find a part time job?

Answer 1

Labor laws vary from place to place. In the US, the laws are by state and federal. Most states require some type of permit ('working papers') for 14 year olds that want a job.

If you are in a place where employment is legal at age 14 and have the necessary permit, the next step is to identify the places in your area that will hire a 14 year old. An important factor in identifying a likely employer is that you have a reliable means to get to and from that job. The reliability and punctuality of employees is very important to employers.

Once you have found suitable places for employment, you must find out if they are hiring, and if they will consider hiring you. When it comes to actually getting hired, it is up to the person in charge of hiring (this is the unknown factor). Don't be discouraged by turn downs. Each business and the person who hires are different.

Getting a job can be a job in itself at any age. A good selling point in your favor, if you have read this far, is that you have done the research, followed the procedure for getting your permit, and have exhibited diligence in your job search. Qualities that any prospective employer should appreciate. You might just mention it when applying for a job.

Answer 4

There are two phrases you should keep in mind:

"Paper or plastic?"

and

"Do you want fries with that?"

It's very likely that any place willing to hire a 14-year-old will have people asking one or the other of those questions. Not that you'll necessarily get a glamor job like that, of course; you'll probably start doing something even further down the food chain.

Unemployment is high enough right now that employers can be a bit more choosy and probably get someone older for the same cost as hiring a 14-year-old. Expect to start at minimum wage (or below; some kinds of jobs can legally pay below minimum wage), ifyou can even find a job. There are decided advantages to a business in hiring people over 18 (they're not limited to 3 hours work per day on school days, for example).
