[quote=Anonymous]A lot of teens are too picky about where they work.  Not saying that's the case here, but my friends kids who complain have a list of jobs they won't do.  Also, PP is correct--many places won't respond to online applications for low level jobs because it ends up wasting the manager's time.  Go to the place, get an application, fill it out, then ask to meet with the hiring person when you bring it in.  Coffee shops, retail, restaurants, grocery stores, best approach for them al.

To all the PPs talking about lifeguards-you have to be certified, and it's not as easy as people think.  Although I did hear they lowered the standards somewhat due to the shortage.  It's also not an easy job, especially at public pools.

For the swim portion, you have to swim 300 yards either breastroke or freestyle, without switching strokes.  Tread water for 2 minutes without using your hands.  Swim 20 yards (ungoggled) to retrieve a brick from 10' of water, swim with the brick back to your starting location holding it throughout the swim. The brick cannot be submerged, and two hands must be holding the brick throughout the swim.  That one is usually hard for people.[/quote]
