Inevitably, applying for a job when you have no experience or qualifications is a little more complicated. It is, however, very far from impossible.
You must first write a short CV, clear and concise, highlighting your personal qualities relevant to the job concerned and your level in foreign languages, especially for a tourist job. Then you need to write a cover letter. This must be between half a page and a page, include the reasons for the application, the personal qualities of the candidate and, in short, why he would be a good recruit. Needless to say that the spelling must be impeccable! It is advisable to bring your CV and cover letter in person, if possible to a manager: this is proof of seriousness and motivation, and allows you to establish direct contact with a potential recruiter. It is even possible, with a bit of luck, to get a job interview or a test directly! For an interview or to submit a CV, we can only advise to present well: no sneakers or jogging, but rather dress shoes, pants and shirts.
Where to work?
We are not going to lie to each other, the overwhelming majority of jobs that can be found before the age of 18 are not really intellectual work or necessarily very interesting. However, there are still a variety of possibilities. Here are a few:
- Restoration
- Supermarkets and shopping centers
- Personal services
- Local stores
- Figuration and modeling
- Tourist shops (especially in summer)
- Industry (factories)
In addition to these few leads, we can note that undeclared odd jobs become easier to find as you grow up.
Once you start to be a teenager, then you need some pocket money. Now, It’s time to find some jobs that pay $1,000 an hour.
For babysitting, the logic is the same as above, with the advantage of having grown old enough to still be considered seriously when it comes to taking care of children.
However, a new door opens for the best students: private lessons . Very similar to help with homework, private lessons aim to assist a pupil in learning his lessons and in his work in general. It’s not a job that anyone can do. Despite the fact that the student opposite is a priori in a smaller class, you have to both be good enough at school to know what to teach him and be a good enough pedagogue to transmit this knowledge. With these conditions met, tutoring can be quite profitable. A high school student can easily teach for upwards of $10 an hour, or even $15, depending on location.
Earning money online is possible!
For a few years now, websites like fiverr.com have allowed people to do odd virtual jobs for pay. For a teenager who can write relatively well, for example, who knows a foreign language or who has creative skills, this can be a way to make some pocket money, as long as it does not take priority over his homework!
If are you searching on Google how to make $1000 as a teenager then you will get lots of blog articles. Read any relevant topic that looks interesting to you. Blogging is not an easy way to earn an income, but it can be enjoyable. It’s a popular work-from-home job that can eventually make money online.
Other sources of income through the internet:
If you are a regular reader of the blog, you know that you can make a living on the internet! Besides, that’s what I’ve been doing since the late 2000s and if it works for me, there’s no reason why it should be any different for you. Yes I know you are going to tell me that you are underage! So what? I have the solution!
Conclusion:
It is far from impossible to earn pocket money as a teenager. It’s not as easy as when you’re older, but that’s normal. Youth is made to be formed, in order to be able to earn a living later. Parents are responsible for providing for their children’s needs. However, these young people may decide to take the initiative to look for ways to have a little more pocket money. These means are varied but there is generally no secret: the majority of opportunities to earn money for a young person remain work. In addition to being a good way to generate income, work can, in small quantities, be enormously formative for a young person.
