Are you thinking about getting a summer job this year? Or maybe you need to get regular, year-round employment to help pay for car insurance or new clothes? Have you filled out applications before and not gotten the job?
On Saturday, March 6, we will be having a special program specifically for teens who want to get the basics on applying for a job. You'll hear tips about how to fill out your application, things not to do, and other common-sense hints you might not know yet. I can't guarantee you'll get a job, but this will help you to make your application look as good as it possibly can!
