[quote=Anonymous]DD is 16 this summer and this is her first real job. I started applying with her for jobs in early February. We applied to a few private schools as a counselor, but didn't hear back. Guess they want to hire within??? So we applied to some local golf courses (consessions) and our local county as counselors, and also never heard back. HoCo and MoCo have summer employment help for teens. The deadlines are March-ish. We applied to the HoCo one. They said they had over 1,500 applications for an unknown # of slots. We had an interview with the point person back in early April and still haven't heard anything. It's tough out there. So we applied to our local YMCA camp as a counselor and got the job. YAY! But it definitely took lots of "hey, what's my status?" emails. I think we were open to everything. I looked at Starbucks, Target, etc., as well. I think my child's friends are cart collectors at the local grocery store. [/quote]
