get an after school job

I want a job but not a horrible one hat stresses me out totally. Been there done that. I’m not that desperate for a job.

People have told me that you should get a job at McDonalds or something. (I would rather stick my head in a toilet and lick the bowl than work there!) The pays rubbish and it’s not a good “job experience” applicant to put on your CV.

I think i’ll see if I can get a job at the supermarket.

Anyone got an idea of how to make some money as a teenager?

I would like to get a part time job in either a clothes or, beauty or jewellary shop after school and weekends as well as getting work experiances in farms ect. When I’m old enough!

mcdonalds FINALLY called me (48 hours they said it would take, yeah right!) annnd i gotta go do an interview, but thats not until the 4th of june by which time this challenge thing will have run out of time!! if only i’d given my self a few more days! but i’m like 99% assured of getting a job now so 3 days left to complete this goal, i’ve basically completed it anyways so i’m just gonna hit the “i’ve done this” button haha

5 days left to complete this challenge/goal thingy and mcdonalds never called me back!! omg what is wrong with them??? or me…

applied for a job at mcdonalds yesterday! they better call me coz i really need a job and i have 11 days left to complete this challenge!!

and i’m gunna apply at McDonalds mainly because my friend works there and told me it’s a pretty good place to work and they pay more than the supermarket and they’re very used to hiring teenagers and theyre pretty fair employers. so yup i think i’ll apply there… ASAP lol

which means i’m one step closer to getting a job then i was yesterday. i’m on my way

kfc never called me back!

i need a job because i need money and i dont wanna keep getting money out of my savings account, i wanna have a little bit of money to spend but mostly i want to build up my savings because i have rather ambitious plans for my future which unforunately cannot be accomplished without a lot of money

anyway i’ve never had a job before but i applied for one at kfc lol

but its gunna be really hard for me dealing with people all the time, im just not good with people but thats life i guess i cant really get a job without having to interact with people… i wish i could though, it’d be way easier for me and way less stressful.

It can be tough sometimes to balance school and a job, but it can also be pretty rewarding.

Apart from the extra cash (which is a pretty awesome thing in and of itself ^^), you find yourself becomming more reliable and just feeling more…grown up.

I found that having to deal with people at work really helped me to become more self-confident and better at dealing with new people and new situations. Plus, my small talk is better now!

I would suggest working in a small place if you can, such as a small corner shop or your local GPs surgery (which is what I’m doing). It’s less daunting than working for a big, faceless company, people are more willing to look after you and the atmosphere is just generally more friendly. The last thing you want is to finish school and have to face a mind-numbing job with no-one to talk to.

Mind you, don’t expect too much. Most after-school jobs are going to involve some pretty dull tasks – the goal is to enjoy the place you’re in and the people you’re with even if the actual work is a little on the tedious side. After all, this is your after school job, not the rest of your career. :)
