Searching for Great Teen Jobs
Author: motivationnews
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
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 week. 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
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.
