http://www.education.com/reference/topic/TeenYears_LifeSkills_TeensAndWork/
A few ideas for your part time job search
1. Check out web sites to learn information about companies that hire
teens.
2. Ask your friends and fellow students where they have worked or are
working.
3. Ask parents, teachers, counselors, ministers or other neighborhood
adults about area companies and ideas for available jobs. It is called
networking.
4. Look for signs on store windows or marquees.
5. Listen to announcements at school and read want ads in the newspaper.
6. Go to Summer Job Fairs sponsored through the school.
7. Apply for the job early in the day if possible. It makes a good impression.
8. In a few days after applying, follow up with the interviewer to thank
him/her and inquire of the status of your application. It shows interest.
9. Keep a list of all the companies you contact or search on line. Record
whether you contacted them, turned in an application, made follow up call,
and status of interview.
10. Follow up on any “leads” as soon as possible. You are
in competition for the job.
