Post by: darkmario on December 05, 2008, 02:05:58 PM
 Well I turned 14 last month,and I wanted to know if you know what stores hire at 14?
If not do you know if there any job websites that I can look through?

job sites are usually for professionals.

Try any fast food restaurants. Since you're 14 you can work limited hours, nothing much. I'd wait until youre about 15 before you start looking for a job.

I'm happy being unemployed and I'm 15. Anyway I think Shoprite or a fast food place would work.

Jobs at 14? Good luck. Most stores and restaurants won't hire until 16 these days; I know Penney's and all of their major competitors (Sears, Macy's, etc.) are 16 minimum. GameStop prefers 17+ to avoid people getting all :| about M-rated games.

Also, when you're looking for an entry-level grunt job, you go onto the company's website or go into one of their stores and apply. Like Nayr said, Monster.com and the like are for skilled workers or those with college degrees.

Good luck. When I was 14 nobody would hire me, just the local vet, but just because I knew someone there.

Most sites like those require you to have some sort of degree before anyone will look at you.


Honestly, if you're as young as you say, you have to go around and ask various places about their hiring policy and if you fit the age requirement, ask for an application.  You're more than likely going to end up either in retail, busing tables or doing manual labor somewhere.  There isn't much available for teenagers in terms of jobs, at least not until you've gotten a diploma or GED.
