Step 1
Read local newspapers. Often times, the classified jobs section will contain several part time job postings for teenagers.
-
Step 2
Visit the part time job section on Craigslist.com. Be sure to search within the appropriate city and call ahead to ensure that the employer is legitimate before scheduling an interview.
-
Step 3
Search internet job sites. Many large cities have their own employment websites where part time job postings can be found. Avoid professional job websites like Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com, as they are geared toward older applicants.
-
Step 4
Check bulletin boards in local gyms and community centers, where part-time job postings can sometimes be found.
-
Step 5
Talk with the area's high school counselor. He or she may be in contact with local employers that seek part time teenage help.
-
Step 6
Take the initiative to call businesses in your area that hire teenagers. Swimming pools, community centers, and golf courses all traditionally employ 16 year olds. If a 16 year old can have a driver's license in your state, you can also try businesses that hire drivers.
-
Step 7
Ask relatives if they need help around the house. Offer to do it for free--they will probably insist on paying you anyway. While you won't technically be working for a company, you can still earn a good amount of money performing odd jobs like cutting grass or cleaning pools.
