Becky’s Answer

I think a good place to start is to look at yourself and do an assessment of the skills you currently have. Sometimes, knowing where you are is the best place to start. Make a list of things you are good at. Like: talking to people, computer programming, listening, using tools, cooking... It doesn't matter if it's work like or not. Just make a long list. Then make a second list of things you are interested in. Like, medical field or business or technology. Then find where those two lists may converge. For instance, if you like gaming and you are good at talking to people, maybe a career in in sales with a game supplier would be a good fit. Either way.. you will be pointed in the right direction.

Racheal’s Answer

Hi. Great question. Ask yourself, outside of money, what do I want this job for specifically. It's important to think about this because you may need to explain this in the cover letter. Moreso, think about what qualities you have to add to the company, like how do you see yourself adding value. Remember getting a job is a two-way street (relationship). Do not lie about your qualities. Be own to sharing a flaw because no one is perfect!

Now, let's talk about the interview. Be prepared for anything. When I say anything I mean it. If they ask uou to tell a dope joke...have one ready.

Be ready to ask questions because again, you need to show interest but also remind them it's a two way relationship and they need to be good enough for uou too.
Do not discuss money until offer time, and if you feel it's not enough, thank them for the offer they tell them what you are worth and wait for their response. Be confident and do not be afraid. If it doesn't turn out the way you want. remember that you it's practice for the next best thing

Suzanne’s Answer

Hi Ruchika,

It's hard to answer your question as it is so broad. I think some of the answers you have received are excellent though.

I would only recommend that you do some research on job opportunities in your area for people of your age. Do you have any specialities, training, education or expertise?

I hope these links provide some additional information. If you are indeed serious, create a professional resume now and have several good references. It is also a good idea to learn how to interview.

Charmaine’s Answer

Hi Ruchika,

Consider what you enjoy doing , depending on your age, volunteering at various companies may help you get a feel for what you like. The previous responses gave you a lot of great websites to research information. Also, you can always create a job for yourself based on skills that you may be great at. I know a few teens who opted to help small business owners with social media and they are working from home. It is about just exploring what is right for you.

Andrew’s Answer

I would suggest you go directly to companies you are interested in working for. Generally applying through third party sites iws ineffective. If you are specialized, consider hiring a headhunter who already has a job procurement network in place, and can cut through a lot of the blind research you may be doing.

You can try looking for internship, virtual internship, and etc. for the moment of time due to a lot of company are currently on hold with hiring physically but are willing to do virtual internship and virtual hiring for short-term employment. Did you try looking online website or the company website for these opportunity as well as upload you resume on career job website for recruiter to maybe take a look and consider. If not, sign up couple career job website, upload your resume and recruiter will come upon your page and reason out to you.

Riley’s Answer

This is going to depend on the education level that you have completed as well as what field you are looking to get into. Two options you could go with the minimum of a high school diploma (unless you are still in high school) are working in the food service industry or as a cashier. It may take longer to be hired as a server in a restaurant but if you can land this job, it will make you pretty good money. On the other hand, it is probably easier to be hired as a cashier because it requires less skill for you to learn. Some options of places that are probably hiring right now would be grocery stores. To get these jobs you should bring your resume and give it to someone in person, who will probably have you fill out an application.
