How to start getting knowledge & experience in positioning and web-design?
Hello, I'm a bit puzzled about starting in digital marketing/e-commerce. I don't know how to start, there are too many things to learn, lots of expectations in job offers and I feel overwhelmed. I would like to work in technical aspects of marketing such as web design and positioning. Any recommendations how to plan learning about these things, what courses (!free!) I could start with?

First Ever Job Interview?
I just thought to share this because I'm extremely worried. So I'm 16 years old, I applied for many fast food restaurants and even retail stores but the only company that got back to me was Jack's. After I applied to them I literally received a message 30 minutes after completing the application to schedule and set up an interview up with them. So the interview I set up took place yesterday, it was my first job interview ever. Didn't know really what to expect and it went like this. So I first got there, was relatively 15 minutes early so I waited then met with the woman who was hiring me I guess. Honestly she looked like a younger employee not a HR manager. So we sat down and she didn't introduce herself at all, she immediately ask for my name, email, and was this my first job, which I thought was normal. Although, the message said to bring my ID and SSN card she didn't even bother to ask for it she immediately begin the interview with the question why do i want to work there. Mind you this interview was scheduled to be 30 minutes it literally only lasted 5-6 minutes she only asked me 2 QUESTIONS which I thought was very weird and a red flag. After that question she asked what days would I be available when school starts, so I gave her the info on that. Then after, she spoke about how they were letting people go because the employees they had would not be working and would often be on there phone and she gave me expectations on what she expects of me I guess. So after that, she said that was all and said the interview was over and that it was all she needed to here. She didn't ask what questions I had or anything she just ended it right then and there and got up. What really confused me is the fact she said she would send paperwork after the interview was over and im not sure what she means by that. I even asked her again will I be expecting a call back for the job offer or paperwork and she stated that I will be receiving paperwork again. Honestly, a no experience kid like me in the workforce, I just said ok and walked out of the store and thought nothing of it. Until it hit me on the way home, how would she send paperwork? Through the mail? What would the paperwork be about? When could I be expecting this paperwork? If i was paperwork why couldn't I do it there? It overall was just very confusing and I thought it was super unprofessional because she even cussed at one moment before we even began the interview. Mind you after all this I still don't even know the woman who was hiring me name. Does this mean I didn't get the job? is this a sign? Can any of you guys please share your opinion on this?

What are some jobs for 16 years old?
I’m 16 right now, in NYC high school. And I know for most jobs, their minimum age to work in their place was 16. So I decided that I wanted to get my first job, but I couldn’t find any job. They either never reply back to me or that their schedule aren’t fit for me or that they don’t hire 16 years old. I try bakery stores and some movie theaters, nothing works. If possible, can you tell me some company or store name that would hire 16 years old and are flexible with the schedule in NYC? Thank you.

How do you get a job at 14, with no prior experience?
I am a 14 year old 8th grader in Montana, so its legal for me to apply for a job. I've done some volunteer work around my town, but I really don't know where I'd even start with getting a job.(Where I should apply, how to get hired etc.) I'm fine with working anywhere, and to be honest I am just trying to do this for the money.
