Re: Jobs for a 15 year old - Jan Rathbone (25th May 2010 - 13:58:25) Go for it Coral! Don't let being 15 hold you back. I know it's boring but first I suggest you get yourself some character references, try asking a teacher and a neighbour or someone who will vouch for you saying you are honest, reliable etc., then get them copied so you always have one to shove in someone's hand. Next, take a look at the cards in local shop windows of newsagents and post offices offering work, and the local free paper The Messenger (they do advertise for deliveries but may have a minimum age? ask them). The paper has local jobs advertised that might suit. Have you called on local business's asking if they want their yard cleaning out, restaurants/pubs/fish & chip shops/local hotels - do they want a pot washer/glass collector? Saturday tea maker and floor brusher at hairdressers? Open your mind, there is lots you could do... local vets, Saturday is bound to be busy, do they want help? Anyone want their horses mucking out, local kennels need animals cleaning out/walking? And while you're looking, get yourself a bucket, sponge and some car shampoo and knock on local doors to car wash, do a good job and ask if you can call every week? keep a little book, be reliable - that is key! Go for it! Don't let the 'No thanks' get you down, if you want to earn - you CAN do it.

People are happy to see him!! Dog walking or ironing ? Put a card up in the shops to offer your services. Good luck for trying. All the best.

Re: Jobs for a 15 year old - coral (27th May 2010 - 19:45:34) thank you Jan and Dawn nice to see people are happy to help! i will get teachers and my neighbours to do me a character reference. and sticking leaflets throw doors sounds like a plan too!! thanks lets see how much business i can drum up!! coral
