Job Search For Teens
Searching for Perfect Teen Jobs
Just because you are a teen doesn't mean you can't find a good
job to either help you through schooling or to get a few extra
bucks for your various hobbies and needs. Here are a few tips on
bagging a great teen job
Labor Laws You, of course, have to follow the law. And there are
various laws that govern teen employment across different
states. Teens that are hired to do non-farm work will at least
have to be fourteen years of age to be allowed to work. Here are
a few other restrictions. You will have to do a little research
in the state you are at to come up to date with the latest laws
and regulations.
Teens that are aged 14 to 15 are only allowed to work three
hours per day, and eighteen hours a wee. When there are no
classes and during summer breaks, this amount may be increased
to eight hours per day, 40 hours per week. Also work for
teenagers of this age is limited to up to 7 o'clock p.m. within
school days and 9 o'clock p.m. during summer breaks.
Employment Documents In several states, when one has not reached
the age of eighteen yet, it is required get working documents
which are officially known as Certificate of Employment or Age
to be allowed to work legally. Schools are good venues for one
to acquire these important papers. The Department of Labor
offers such service, too. Browse on the certification list for
Age or Employment to know which rules apply to you. Your
school's Guidance Office can be of great help. One's state
office will assist greatly if one
is directed to the Department
of Labor. Particular states such as New York, for instance, have
special web site sections on Youth Jobs, which will produce the
information and documents you are required to have.
Fantasy Jobs Make sure you take a job you can maintain interest
in. You might want to consider after-school programs and working
with kids. Or you may want to work part time on the beach,
recreational facilities, zoos and other areas. The important
thing is that you choose a job that you enjoy and can perform in
with the best of your capabilities. It is very important that
you do your best in your job and pick one you truly enjoy, as
your experience with this job could very well dictate your
future career.
Job Search Your high school guidance counselor may be able to
assist you with finding a part-time job that is just right for
you. Aside from having contacts among local businesses, they may
also help you evaluate which jobs you will enjoy and excel at.
It is also a good idea to tell everyone you know that you are
looking for work. Don't underestimate your network of
acquaintances. They may very well have other networks of
acquaintances that may help you find good jobs.
