I know I just made a new thread before but this is different so don't hate. Anyway how can I find a job as a 15 year old and make some money? Help from English people would be preferred as I don't know how it works in other places like the US etc. Does anyone else at my age have a job? How did you get it? Thanks.

EDIT: I would only be able to do it on Saturdays as I have guitar lessons on Sunday.

Go to different Fast Food restaurants in your town or supermarkets and ask if they are hiring.

See if any retail stores are hiring. Places like that.

That's about all the jobs anyone would hire for someone your age.

When I was 15 I worked at an amusement park for good pay. You can also try that.

Your best bet is either restaurants, mainly fast-food ones or baby-sitting. You could also try mowing lawns, cleaning stuff out of pools and other very basic landscaping. When I was 15, I worked at a near-by library by volunteering to get something on the resume plus for requirements then did paid work for neighbourhood lawn mowing. Just print out some signs and pass them around your neighbourhood and say what you want the money for (i.e. for funding for university).

Since I live in a small town my grandma is well known and she talked to the manager at the Villa Restaurant and Bar. I got a job prepping meals and washing dishes for $8.50 an hour and I can work 40 hours a week

Try assisted living places, they tend to hire young and its a great expierence.
