[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My teen is dying to work and had a lot of trouble getting a job. He submitted dozens of online applications and heard back from almost no one. Maybe this os because he had nothing to put but volunteer gigs in the “previous experience”? Anyway, I keep hearing abt all the jobs going infilled but my teen got almost no response. (And these were definitely  teen appropriate jobs-he wasn’t shooting high or anything.) [/quote]

I am completely clueless as to what “teen appropriate” jobs are! I babysat as a teen and my oldest wants to work next summer. Would you be willing to list the places your teen applied? I’m just curious where I should/shouldn’t steer the job hunt next year. [/quote]

As mentioned earlier, camp counselor, lifeguard, or golf caddie are ideas. Also, just working at a pool at the snack bar or as a pool attendant. Sometimes local restaurants, ice cream shops or country clubs are a good bet. Check your county or city website for "seasonal jobs". Usually these are posted in January/February, and that's when your child needs to start looking in general to have the best chance of finding something or finding something they would prefer to do.[/quote]
