Where can I work if I'm only 15?

Category: Other

I've applied to Chipotle, Jamba Juice, Taco Bell, and Carl's Jr. I'm calling them to follow up today, but I think they might not accept me just because I'm 15. Where CAN I work?

Most businesses prefer not to hire under the age of 18 due to liability issues. If they make exceptions, they'll hire at 16. To hire anyone under 16 is not beneficial to them because the hours which they can work according to labor laws is so restricted. I would try applying at a family owned business. Pretty much anything that isn't a chain will give you more of a chance. Try small diners and restaurants or ice cream shops. Some smaller locally owned and operated convenience stores and grocery stores will hire under the age of 16 but that's all up to the business owner to decide.

Good luck!

You're legally allowed to work at the age of fifteen. I got my first job at a pizza place at the age of 14.

Many fast food places are more likely to hire you for your age, opposed to someone older.

The younger the person, (to an extent) the easier they are to train, and they don't cost as much to have on shift.

A lot of places aren't always hiring, and that may be why you haven't received any feedback.

Hold out and just keep applying. :)

Usually the age limit is on the application.

But I'm 15, I work at the clothing store "Dots". The age limit was 15 and 9 months, and up.

Moreover, you can have a baby sitting job, work at Six Flags, 711, McDonalds.
