    So Idk, give me some advise... or ideas of where else I can apply.. ugh I really want to get a job... =] so help me

    What else should i do? Should I go randomly and ask for applications and stuff? Idk.. ughh
    I never thought that getting a job would be so hard! >< ><

    Any advise will be welcome! =]:icon_wink :icon_wink :icon_wink :icon_wink

    I put my application in about a month ago and waiting for a call is sooo hard. I'm lucky because I have a job though, but I wanna get out!

    I would say just wait it out for 3 months, if you get no call back put in another application! They probably don't need people right now. Other jobs are fast food stores, supermarkets and delis... Wouldn't recommend any of them though. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Start your own bissnus?
    Do you play an instrument who said you had to work to make money?
    Getting one around chistmass should be easyer because the amount of people wanting to shop and the shops hiering more causal workers..... that is SHOULD...

    At 16, really the only chances you have are the grocery stores and fast-food restaurants. Anywhere else, you're probably going to run into the "18+" thing. Good luck in your hunt, though.
