It is a good idea to make sure that your teenager finds a summer job in order to help keep him or her busy and so that they can gain valuable life skills that will be carried with him or her for many years. The thing is though, many people feel that finding teenager jobs for the summer can be difficult as employers just want full time employees and also because there are a lot of teenagers looking for work. These issues can be enough to halt people in their tracks.

While it is true that some employers want full time, year round help, there are many teenager jobs available that are part time and just for the summer. You simply have to know where to look for these jobs. As far as there being a lot of teenagers looking for summer work, this can be true depending on where you live, but all you have to do is to make sure that your teenager stands out from the crowd and then he or she should have no problem getting a summer job.

The first place you will want to check would be the school. Talking with the counselors and teachers about finding summer work for your teen may lead to some incredible job leads. The next thing you will want to do is to hit up all of the common businesses. This would include department stores, grocery stores, fast food chains and the mall. Because these places have a high turn over rate anyways, they are more than willing to take on a teen who will at least be there for the summer.



If you are having trouble finding teenager jobs available, you might want to do a little advertising of your own. Place a flier or an ad at the church, library, grocery store or town bulletin board advertising that you are looking for teenager jobs for your teen. You will be surprised at the people who contact you. Your local church could be looking for someone to cut grass or the neighbor might need a babysitter during the days.

Even though you are looking for local work, you might want to check with Internet job posting sites. There could be summer camps that are looking for teenagers to help watch the children or to help with the sports or crafts. They might even be looking for someone to simply help clean up in the kitchens. Some of these positions may require overnight stays so you will want to make sure that you are comfortable with that.

The idea is to make sure that you are keeping your eyes and mind open. The summer teenager jobs available are no longer just the local paper routes, although those are still options in most areas. With a little bit of looking, persistence and a solid resume, your teenager should be able to find the perfect teenager jobs for his or her summer needs. Before you know it, your teen might just be able to afford to take you out to dinner for once.
