I’m 17 and I really want a job, anywhere! What do I put on the application to get their attention??

Well as a job counselor for people seeking employment in many vast areas, I can tell you it is not so much one thing to place on an online job application to get them to like it or stick out. But it should be several different aspects to an application that would make “YOU” stand out to the employer. Here for starters add 2 or 3 letters of recommendations. These for someone your age, will most certainly tell the employer that you are serious about the job.Where can you get these? Church, any place that you have volunteered for, or how about this…Your school. Teachers are in the best position to give letters of reference. They know your work habits, your drive and what type of person you are for character references. This will make your online job application stick out more than anything else.
