Ok_Set_1630's journey

I’m currently trying to land my first job at 14 years old. I’ve been applying for cashier positions on sites like Indeed, but I keep getting denied without even getting an interview. It’s been really frustrating. I’ve heard that the job market is tough, especially for someone my age, and that I should apply to multiple places every day without getting my hopes too high. I also learned that many businesses prefer hiring 16 and older to avoid legal issues related to younger workers. I’m considering asking around at school to see if anyone knows of businesses that might be more open to hiring someone my age. In the meantime, I’m thinking about picking up some babysitting gigs, lawn maintenance, or even washing cars in my neighborhood to gain some experience and earn a little money.
