-- Posted by HiRyo at 4:09 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 I want a job and finally my parents are allowing me to get one! Though, I'm not sure where to start. (I have no experience except volunteering if that counts?) Can you guys give me some ideas of a good place to start your first job? Also any tips or anything I should watch out for? I rather not work as a waitress because I'm one of the biggest klutz ever and I'd surely get fired from that job if I ever get it.   :) I'm 16. -- Posted by Aliboo at 4:10 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 fast food, grocery, gas stations, local places -- Posted by Fauna at 4:10 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 how old are you? -- Posted by MixedDelight at 4:12 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 Start somewhere with a lot of employee's thats the places that are most likely to hire teens. Like retail stores or grocery stores. Those types of places. I got hired at a retail store with no previous job experience; you've got to start somewhere. -- Posted by beautifulgirl at 4:15 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 grocery -- Posted by DodgeRam at 4:27 pm on Oct. 16, 2008 you cant be a waitress unless youre over 18 because of the alcohol serving policies. my first job was at papa johns and then i got discovered to be a model by dwight agnor. and then i hated modeling so i worked as a lifeguard at a water park. and now im an associate at american eagle. -- Posted by atomictastic at 2:31 pm on Oct. 29, 2008 My first job was working in chemistry Lab.
