I am unsure where to start, should I look in my local town or look in the city? I would be grateful if you could give me information that could help me out - I would like to start financing myself a bit more now. If you have a weekend job or any general information, could you please e-mail me? It would be much appreciated. PS. I hope that was satisfactory enough for all those people who are straying off topic by complaining about the way we are all writing in this text. Don't hesitate to complain about me, if you feel I have written in a bad way...    Report

You obviously deserve to have a job as you already have a paper round.  You must have applied to the shop to get this job therefore you really know what to do to get a job.  My niece age 15 years just got a job in a shop so there are obviously jobs around if you go to  places of employment and ask if they need someone like you who is willing to work.  You will obviously get the sort of job you would like if you keep on trying.  Good Luck. To those people who have little to offer an employer and groan rudely about everone else and complain I say, start acting politely towards others and at least you will have this to offer to an employer otherwise I cannot see some of you ever getting a job.  Surely it is obvious to you that unless you offer what an employer wants they will not employ you.

Jason was fourteen and a half when he posted his comments on 29-3-2005 and therefore must now be seventeen and a half years old and hopefully in full time employment. You say that you are 14 years old and need money and a job and you also say that you think spelling doesn't matter at age 14. If you need money and a job and there is a vacant job sweeping up or cleaning cattle pens etcetera it probable won't matter if you can't spell but if you really do need money and a job and there are no vacancies sweeping or cleaning then you will stand a greater chance of some other job if you can spell or take messages that other people can read. This applies to any person of 14 years old or 50 years old or more. When I was 13 years old I worked in a shop and sometimes had to serve customers, sweep up, or to take orders on the telephone and the orders had to be read and made up and delivered by someone else. I wouldn't have got this job if my writing and spelling had not been readable by the person getting up the orders. Unfortunately with food getting scarcer and jobs getting more difficult to get, all of us, even those complaing parents you talk about, may have to do jobs that we don't like if we want to eat. Sorry if what I have written is unpalatable but good luck and keep trying.       Report

Perhaps if you were to post so that normal people could read and understand what you are saying you might stand a better chance. This might be the way you communicate with your friends on SMS but if you want to work you have to conform to some sort of conventions as has been said on this thread any number of times.

I'm 14 and I understand that the way many teenagers spell things is sometimes hard to understand but not all teenagers are like that! I recently found a job making beds at my local holiday park, the pay is quite good and it includes free transport in bank holidays and weekends. I'm also searching for part time sales and/or catering jobs by walking round town and inquiring in shops etc. I want to start saving my money as I am hoping to further my education by going to university later and I prefer to save up for something I want rather than asking my parents for things!    Report

Its us 'Whingers' (spelt correctly!) are precisely the people who you need to be trying to impress if you want to get a job. Poor spelling isn't something to be proud of, and if you want to do well in this world, good spelling is something you should be trying to master. Employers will not even give a second glance at a poorly spelt, badly composed CV as I'm sure you have been told at school. When a job advertisement generates possibly several HUNDRED applications the well presented ones are the ones that get considered, and the rest won't even get an acknowledgement. Believe me, I know, as I've been in the position of having to sort out piles of job applications, and as the old saying goes 'First Impressions count'. There just isn't time to look at the ones that are badly presented. You may not think that its right or fair, but that's the way it is and its up to you to show yourself in the best possible light.

Poor Spelling isn't something to be proud of. Even if you don't care about your Spelling, grammar or punctuation now, you will care in the futre for job applications and other stuff. So, just keep this one thing in your head, Enjoy your last years of teenage life, because it isn't easy being a adult.    Report

I think it is quite sad that quite a few adults feel the need to critisise a teenager about his spelling on an INTERNET forum as this is how most people (including adults) talk on the internet. I feel it is great for a fourteen year old to want a job, I'm fourteen and have recently lost my paper round due to lack of interest  and I'm currently browsing the internet for job opportunities and hope to find one! good luck Jason   peace out    Report
