In my opinion, it is quite difficult to find a job for me and other young people of my age. Unfortunately the legislation states that we are not yet of age to get a paid job. However, if you are a hard-working energetic type, and you can dedicate your time to go out there and ask people for work, you might be lucky. Many of my friends were successful, but you need to have a certain personality to achieve results. As we are all yet unskilled workers we can do only the basic jobs, such as promotion and maybe client coordination. Before getting any part-time job you need to have a clear understanding of your abilities; you have to be careful and responsible with your job as people are going to see you as an honest and reliable person, which means you can't say you'll do it and then disappepear due to the change of plans. If you're trying to get a position that involves speaking to clients, you need to be friendly, patient and polite; the communcative approach is very important there. In fact, you need to show a certain level of intelligence as well, as usually you will be dealing with adult clientelle. There are plenty of websites and newspapers where you can look for job openings, but I think that the best way is to pick a company you would like to work for and ask them directly. That's what I did last summer and even though I had to wait for the answer I finally got the job assisting in the admin department. Such job won't get you a lot of money, but earning a small sum of your own is always a delight
