Can anyone help me with my problem? I'm 16 years old, and I can't find a job. I applied to 3 different Targets, they all said no. Then I found out I need work papers. I don't know what to do. Can anyone help me?

i think you need to get papers from your school or township in order to work. theres a ton of restaurants in Philly. try to get a job bus-boying or cleaning dishes. it'll probably be off the books.

If your under 18 most states will require a work permit. Also have large restrictions during schooltime. For that reason it can sometimes be tough finding a job before turning 18.
Grocery stores are a good start though. Also, if you know anyone at a potential worksite, get them to talk to the manager and promote you a bit. Sometimes a well placed word goes a longer way than anything. -

Try starting out as a Busboy at a local restaurant and work your way up to serving. You'll be grateful later on when you have experience being a waiter. Helps you learn to deal with people and its quick cash.

Busboy has been stated a couple of times, I will re-iterate it. Good job, you can make tips, and if you are competent and trustworthy you can become a server when you hit 18.
