What are your recommendations for a first job as a 14yo freshman?
I would really like to have a job as soon as possible so I can make money and save for college and my future, but a lot of jobs here in Fayetteville, Arkansas require you to be 16 years old for a freaking cashier or even a janitor/cleaner! The other reason why I want to start sooner is because my parents almost can’t afford to pay me for house chores and babysitting my sister. I was thinking a starter job like at a grocery store or fast food. Does anyone know any good jobs in Fayetteville, AR that are right for my age?

where and when do i start? multi-media artist with no direct plan
I'm Jada, hello. Maybe this will make a lot of sense or it will sound terribly cliche. I know where I want to go as an artist, but the reality is that I don't know where to start. My strongest inspiration is my favorite singer-songwriter, Lady Gaga. With certainty, if Gaga weren't one of the best models of how I'd like to act and work via art in a variety of disciplines, I wouldn't pursue my aspirations. But, as an 11th grader in high school, my alternatives are currently rather constrained. I want to be a strong competent worker, however, it seems I can't discover the ability to learn anything new. Even in class, I'm having trouble. I just need some instruction along the road. Although self-teaching has not been effective, I do strive to keep trying for everything. Even though I haven't learned how to make a Resume, it appears that I can here, which is encouraging. Any advice on how to study or learn better depending on my style of learning would be greatly appreciated. Moreover, it would be really helpful if anyone knew of any free resources I could use to either become a professional or develop the necessary skills. Thank you
What is a good first job for somebody who struggles with social anxiety and has trouble interacting with strangers??
I'm the person described and I don't know what my first job should be or where to find it. A lot of the typical first time jobs my peers have taken revolve around customer service and involve working with a lot of people; a skill that I'm still developing. I don't know what kind of job I could apply for without feeling like I'm diving head first into an area that causes me immense distress, but at the same time I need this experience to grow. Ideally I'm looking for something that isn't too stressful or demanding. Light interaction with strangers is fine, like an occasional question from them, but nothing where I need to work with a lot of people at a time like a cashier, waiter, etc.

What do I need to do in order to qualify for an MLT certification?
I am nearing the end of my M.S. program in Biology and I do not have an MLT certification that a lot of CLIA laboratory jobs require. Only a few colleges provide an MLT program and I can't afford a $5k program right now. The other option is to spend three years in a clinical lab but no lab has responded because they all require an MLT to begin with, so I have no idea how to actually qualify for the MLT certification exam despite having a B.S. in Biology and soon an M.S. in the same field. What do I need to do that is affordable and practical for me to get an MLT certification? I desperately need professional advice, as my professors do not even know how MLT certification works.
How can I land my first job as a data analyst?
How can I land my first job as a data analyst? I have been studying data analytics for a while now. And I have extensive experience in the banking and finance industry. but it just seems impossible for me to land my first job as a data analyst. I must have applied for more than 200 jobs by now, and I had my CV looked at by professionals whom I paid more than 100 dollars for and I update my cover letters according to different jobs. But I have only gotten one interview. I don't understand what's happening. Is it that hard to land your first job as a data analyst?? PS: Thank you everyone for your answers. I think what I lack is networking. I have the technical skills required for at least a junior data analyst, I've got SQL excel, tableau even Power Bi. I have many qualifications and certificates from reputable universities. For example, my certificate for Power Bi is with the University of Sydney. And I'm currently studying Master of Business Analytics at the University of Technology Sydney. I have participated in Virtual Internship with KPMG and I have Google Data Analytics certificate as well. But, I am not a big fan of networking to be honest, and I use to hate those events, it really felt like a slaughter market for me lol! I think I should change my mindset and be brave. Thanks guys!
