There are tons of ways to find out about part-time jobs that are available in your area. Here are just a few:
Search the Internet
Many companies post job openings on job search sites, such as Monster.com, so that's a perfect place to start. And did you know that the scholarship search site FastWeb has a jobs and internships section? To locate part-time jobs in your area, just type in a keyword for the kind of job you are looking for, such as, "cashier," "waiter," or "sales associate," and listings for available jobs based on the criteria you select will be displayed.
Word-of-mouth
Make connections with other high school students who have part-time jobs. Talk to them about their jobs and find out what types of businesses are hiring students. You can also make connections with adults who could possibly let you know about job opportunities in their companies. If you're lucky, they can put in a good word for you and get your foot in the door!
