[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't buy this. My motivated to work teen has never had trouble finding work and has had 4 W-2 jobs from ages 15-18. No connections, just walking into stores or applying for jobs online completely on her own. [b]For her first job, she walked around the mall with her resume until someone hired her on the spot.[/b] And yes, that first crappy retail job had bad hours and sucked. But she worked hard, earned a lot and now has a really good job three summers later. I think some kids don't want to take that first yuck job or put up with less than ideal conditions. [/quote]

My kid (now in his early 20s) tried this several years ago--literally just walked into every store that had "now hiring" signs up and asked to speak with the hiring manager.   Every single one told him they only accepted applications online, so he went home and applied online, and only got a response from one![/quote]

+1  My son did exactly this. He got one response and schedule an interview. When he arrived for the interview, the manager wasn't there. He followed up with several texts and never heard back. That's what came of an entire day walking around with a resume and then submitting online applications. [/quote]
