[quote=Anonymous][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]

He should just walking into places that have now hiring signs and offer to start right away,[b] like that minute.[/b]  [/quote]

I already responded to your post but also wanted to address this point.

You aren't going to be able to start "that minute."   There is a hiring process.   Background checks.  Drug screening.  TB testing if working with food. Training.
Some jobs will require specific attire like non-slip shoes (my kid who worked in fast food was required to have) or steel toed shoes if working in other places.
The onboarding process can take weeks.[/quote]

Yes, and each of these steps is a place where managers can and often do drop the ball in the hiring process (through no fault of the applicant). [/quote]
