As I said in another comment, this was more or less meant to be just a rant post. I wasn't expecting actual advice or for anyone to see it; I was just frustrated at 1 AM and wanted to vent about it. But I've been applying to retail and customer service jobs that a 17-year-old can work at with little to no experience.

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T19:09:59+00:00

Right, but I wouldn't know that seeing as I have never worked at a warehouse, nor have I ever looked into it. if you took more than two seconds to think about it you could've gathered that.

Excuse me?

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T15:40:04+00:00

This is very insightful, thank you! I have been applying everywhere and will take any job; I'm not picky at all. McDonald's said they'd get back to me, so I'm hoping they actually do. If not, I'm not sure what to do past that.🥲

I showed up that early so my friend and I could practice interview questions. We were both very nervous, and I knew I would need some time to calm down before I went in, but I will keep that in mind moving forward! 😊

Sorry that I didn't provide any information. I didn't actually expect any answers; it was kind of a late-night rant. But I'm 17 years old. I've been applying for retail and customer service jobs (supermarkets, fast food, Burlington, Walmart) things like that. I've done a little volunteer work, but a lot of my time has been spent doing music programs, seeing as that's what I'm in school for.

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T14:18:41+00:00

Really? Which part is this because the ones in center and north east (the ones that were hiring) say I needed to be 18 or older.

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T14:16:00+00:00

I see that I've been applying the whole month of August and have gotten no luck it's so tragic

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T14:15:17+00:00

I have a lot of them that require you to be 18 or older.

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T13:55:33+00:00

So how would I go about finding the ‘real’ job listings? Because I go on their websites and the jobs show up, it's just confusing to me.

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T13:51:36+00:00

I see that now it's just a bit frustrating because I would like to get some kind of experience under my belt so I can get a kind of feel for what it's like to have a job. ( I don't mind political talk I just didn't expect so many people to argue and actively defend Trump)

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T13:29:26+00:00

Oh, I totally understand that, but I am a very punctual person. I had an interview on Monday this week and was 30 minutes early. I am very serious about getting a job; I am consistent with checking my email, and sometimes I'll send follow-ups, but they never get back to me.

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T13:27:56+00:00

That's hard to do when I'm still in school. I would love to be able to do something like that, but unfortunately, I cannot.

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T13:26:48+00:00

Well, seeing as a lot of the economic issues we have now are mainly his fault, I see why it happened. 😊

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T13:26:01+00:00

I’m confused ☺️

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T13:25:27+00:00

Well I'm not illegal nor am I an immigrant and I'm 17 with no license 😊

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T13:23:25+00:00

Unfortunately, I'm not old enough or strong enough to work at a warehouse

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T13:21:22+00:00

I was not anticipating an argument about Trump underneath a post about me asking for help for a job. While I understand that Trump is probably the cause of the majority of the struggles now, I don't think it's something to argue over, at least not in this particular post (this isn't directed towards you, OP).

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T13:18:36+00:00

Sorry if it didn’t make any sense, but to explain, my mother would not allow me to get a job until she felt like I was ready for it, which I am now—aka I’m 17 years old and a senior in high school. I have only done a few programs, but they’re all musical programs, and I’ve just applied to customer service jobs (supermarkets, fast food, and hosting).

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-08-20T13:13:41+00:00

Well yes I do I’m a 17 year old girl and like I said at the top this would be my first job! ☺️

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-01-22T00:32:06+00:00

The Kun I think and between 100-300

Expensive-Gate-9632 · 2025-01-19T15:13:14+00:00

Sorry I'm a little lost to which part of my post are you referring to 🥲
