Bitani Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I am a senior in high school and recently quit my job at Best Buy. The hours, management, everything wasn't working out. SO I'm on the lookout for any opportunities for a teenager to get a job. Figured it would be worth it to see if anybody knew of any decent local jobs that were available. I'd MUCH rather work for a local business than a big ol' one.I've worked ever since I was able to (16) at a Rave movie theater for a year and a half as well as (obviously) Best Buy for about 4 months.Anybody have any suggestions, offerings, anything of the like?Thank ya!

gen3flygirl Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 As much as food service industry sucks I suggest working for a restaurant for as long as you can. It teaches you good people skills and then when you get into job interviews and they ask you to discribe a situation where you didn't get along with a coworker or patron you will have more than enough stories.

So I can see that. "IT FIVE FITTY FOR DA NACHO!?!?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitani Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think she meant restaurant not fast food.Ah, I was thinking fast food -restaurant- simply because I've seen so many people complain there in comparison to an actual sit-down one.

NinjaNick Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Minimum wage? You can get a job anywhere you want. Just get offline and go apply. Dayton is easy job hunting, especially for minimum wage. We were just labeled #3 in the NATION as the city with most jobs, with Los Angeles being #1. That was pretty damn cool to see Dayton #3 in nation. Boulder, CO was the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always gotten them on first interview thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSparky Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 If you want money, serve tables. Like, olive garden or fridays. Glad to see somebody else from mburg. The shell on 725 by chipotle is hiring. But their shifts probably won't work well for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitani Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Still no luck.But I think today I'm going to apply to as many pizza places as I can to be a driver. Does anybody have any contacts in the Dayton area to a pizza place manager or anything that could help to give me a reference?The more I think about it, the more I think I'd actually LIKE pizza delivery. Late nights, lots of driving music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its on stroop right past southern. Once u get to southern take the next right onto dogwood(assuming ur coming from 741). Hell, apply today and u might get hired on the spot. Hours suck right now cuz its the slow season, but hey its a job. we go back to full time in march.Feel free to text me at 937-732-1155Btw it's a cake ass job, real laid back. night shift only right now though till march I think.
