Work for a 17 year old?

1 Answer

Answer :

you can bus and wait tables. have you tried using SnagAJob to see what restaurants are hiring in your area? I always suggest that at that age you try to work in a chain restaurant. For example, my friend worked at Bob Evans all through senior year of high school. That way, when she left town for college, she was able to find another Bob Evans nearby and work there (chain restaurants are more than happy to hire you if you have worked there before because they save all that time on training you) and when she came back to town for holidays, she was able to work at her old Bob Evans again. At your age, you would also be perfect for a part time receptionist job, which would involve answering phones and doing simple data entry in computers, so if you want a more “professional” experience, you might opt for that too. Good luck in your job search!
