Which jobs can I apply for as a teenager?

Hi Vera,

Here is some suggestions:

• Babysitting

Babysitting is a tried and true way for any teenager who enjoys kids to make money. Neighbors, family friends, and relatives with small children often need help and want someone they know and trust. In order to offer more valuable services, teens can take classes on handling emergency situations and become certified in CPR and first aid. When a teenager proves her responsibility, reliability, and availability on a regular basis, her part-time business will be booming.

• Coffee Shop

If your teen enjoys coffee, music, laptops, and people, then working as a barista at a coffee shop can be a great part-time job opportunity. Coffee shops often offer a peaceful atmosphere perfect for people watching. Plus, he can earn tips! If your teen wants to serve the hip crowd, working at a coffee shop part-time after school or on the weekends could be the job for him.

• Retail Clerk

Working in retail is a popular choice for teens who want to earn extra cash after school or on the weekends. Your teen's expertise on fashion, make-up, electronics, books, or athletics can be turned from a hobby into an after-school money maker. If she chooses a store she frequents often, she'll not only enjoy her time there, she'll also benefit from the employee discounts offered!

• Dog-Walking/Pet-Grooming

Many elderly neighbors, friends on vacation, and people who work long hours need help washing and walking their pets. If your teen enjoys working with animals and has a responsible work ethic, then this is the job for him. His part-time business will begin to pick up once he sets his reputation as a reliable and available animal lover.

• Landscaping/Leaf and Snow Removal

Landscaping, leaf removal, and snow shoveling are booming businesses. Many people don't have the time or aren't physically capable of shoveling snow or caring for their lawn and garden. Lawn and yard work is a challenging job that entails manual labor and long hours. If your teen doesn't mind getting dirty and loves the outdoors, nature, and physical work, this job is right for her. She'll hone her creativity and benefit from the physical activity, while learning about responsibility, hard work, and time-management. Plus, her hard work will be on view in the community - a free advertisement for her services.

• Food Services

If your teen is a social butterfly and loves interacting with people, restaurant employment might be right for her. She can choose from such positions as cashier, host/hostess, server, bus girl, food runner, dish washer, and prep cook. Many towns have popular and unique diners and drive-ins, which make for a fun and social working environment. Food industry positions can help your teen develop people skills, self-esteem, and responsibility, while enjoying a bit of socializing. Most of these positions are offered as part-time jobs for teens, so school work and extracurricular activities won't be affected.

• Tutoring

If your teen enjoys working with adults or kids and excels at school subjects such as math, science, English, computer software, or foreign languages, he can establish a money-making business. Tutoring younger children in school subjects or teaching adults computer knowledge, software applications, and technology are great ways to help others while earning some part-time cash. School work and other activities will stay at top priority since your teen can schedule their own hours of work. This opportunity will also strengthen your teen's teaching and people skills, while solidifying his knowledge in her field of expertise.

• Sports Instructor

Many teens are involved in extracurricular activities and sports during the school year. Your teen could take his soccer, tennis, swimming, lacrosse, running, jump rope, or other athletic skill to the next level as a part-time job to earn some cash. If she is personable and likes to interact with adults or kids, working as a sports instructor will be a fun experience. This is a great opportunity that will boost your teen's confidence, provide healthy physical activity, and improve her people skills.

• Movie Theater

Free movies, free popcorn, and socializing are just a few of the benefits you get when working at a movie theater. If your teen is a movie buff, this is the perfect environment for him to spend his after-school or weekend hours earning extra cash. Concessions, tickets sales, ticket stubs, and usher are a few of the positions your teen can choose from. He can choose to avoid the crowds and maybe catch a free flick after school or on the weekends.

• Internship

Some teenagers have it all figured out and know which field they want to pursue. If your teen wants to gain experience for her professional future, an internship is the best part-time employment plan for her. Your teen can log hours at an internship after school or on the weekends to earn credit and experience. Many internships are unpaid, but the job experience can lead to future employment. If the experience is more important than the money, an internship will propel your teen in the right direction as she gains confidence, professional knowledge, and real-world experience.

Best of luck!

Hello there,
Congratulations! I am a big fan of young people like you who are already wanting to be in the workforce. You can't imagine how important it is starting at a young age working your way up!
There are just enormous opportunities for teenagers like you if you are not picky depending on your interest, abilities, passion, and personality.

Apart from food industry, sales associates, customer service, call centers, flyer distributor, look out and network with your neighbors, friends, friends' friends, relatives' suggestions and recommendations.
If you are in school, you should check the Career Services department for different hot job leads they have available for outside opportunities as well as inside the campus. This department usually assists students in their search for jobs.

They can also facilitate you to different job resources online as well as other tools and workforce one centers that they can endorse you to.
Well, I used to to do this in my previous job as a career advisor.
Good luck!

ps read my previous answers to the question that I provided yesterday. You may learn more from there.

Hi there,
Here are some of the part time job that you can consider.

1. 
   

   Retail Job
   Retail jobs offer all sorts of perks, including merchandise discounts, relatively light schedules, working alongside other students, and a fun, fast-paced work environment. The downsides include earning minimum wage, working on weekends, and dealing with unhappy customers. In general, the retail or mall job is a good first job for students in high school. Students will learn responsibility, money management, and how to effectively deal with customers.

   Babysitting
   Babysitting a sibling or a younger neighbor is a rite of passage for many teens. Babysitters usually work Friday and Saturday evenings, leaving the week open for completing homework and participating in school-related activities.

   
   


3. 
   

   Tutor
   Parents pay good money to have their kids tutored, so take advantage of your know-how to help their kids succeed. Whether it’s tutoring an elementary school student with his or her reading, or helping a fellow classmate get those calculus questions right, tutoring is big business right now. There are a number of corporate tutoring entities, like Sylvan Learning Center, but you can offer your services as a tutor for less money, and with a more personal experience.
   Private tutors can expect to earn at least as much as babysitters, and can set their own schedule with their clients. You have to really enjoy helping others learn, in order to be a tutor, however. Any job where you earn good money, and set your own hours, is a win-win for a high school student.

   
   

4.Document and Photograph Archival Services
Many people need documents and photos scanned, stored, and archived, but few people have the time to take on this considerable chore. My family has thousands of photos from the pre-digital camera era. They would love to have all of the photos scanned and safely stored online or saved to a computer file, but no one has the time to tackle this time-consuming task.
Start this part-time business by networking with your parents’ friends to offer scanning, storage, and archival services for their documents and photos. Documents can be archived to Google Docs and photos can be scanned and stored on DVDs, websites, and computers.
Agree on the number of photos or documents that need to be scanned or archived, and then set a price per item based on the length of time it will take to complete the tasks. Pricing for scanning and archival services will vary, but a range might include $0.25 per photo and $0.35 per document page. The work can be tedious, and you’ll have to handle documents and photos carefully, to ensure they aren’t damaged or lost.

5.Grocery Store Employee
Grocery stores hire students throughout the year. There are many different jobs at a grocery store; workers can bag groceries, stock shelves, mop floors, or even operate a cash register. Part-time employees can expect to make minimum wage working at a grocery store. Many grocery stores have unionized cash register operators, so these jobs can pay a bit more than the other options listed here.

Final Word
Teenagers have different motivations for finding a part-time job while in high school. Some of these jobs may not bring in much money, but the work experiences are valuable in other ways, too. In just a few hours a day, teenagers learn about responsibility, money management, people skills, working as a team, and professionalism, while also building self-esteem, and learning how to succeed in the real world after high school graduation. If working students can make time for homework, extracurricular school activities, and for socializing with friends, having a part-time job can be a solid learning experience.

You will need to focus on stress and time management. In order to manage stress you have to manage your time wisely. <span style="background-color: transparent;">You have to set a routine for yourself and stick to it for the most part. Once you get into the groove of a routine it will be much easier for you to manage your time and have enough time for everything you need to do (including relaxing). Make yourself to-do lists on a weekly basis, use Google calendar or a planner to keep track of events, deadlines, and due dates. In addition to setting a routine and sticking to it, plan out relaxing activities into your day. Or set aside a time, after everything is done for the day, that you can have "me" time. I have also personally found it essential to not only find time for myself but also make use of that time in a way that is best for me and my holistic wellness. I have found the HeadSpace app to be an essential tool in helping me relax and generally feel more relaxed throughout the day, Guided meditation, even if you have a busy schedule, will make you feel more at ease and relaxed throughout the day as a whole (not just when you have the time to relax and focus on that "me" time).</span>
