Bohdana’s Answer

Hi!I think for such a decision you need to give yourself some time to analyze the information. You need to look through job search sites, analyze the requirements (do you have this knowledge or are you ready to spend resources on training), how much time they require from you to work (are you ready to pull off a full-time job or is it better to think about a part-time job).

Padmaja’s Answer

Absolutely, if you've reached the legal working age, don't hesitate to dive in! My own kids began their work journey while still in high school, around the age of 16, taking on roles in retail and teaching. While they've since moved on to different industries, the experiences they gained during that time were priceless. It provided them with a great opportunity to interact with a variety of people and handle diverse situations. So, remember, every job you take on is a stepping stone to learning and growth.

Monica’s Answer

Start with a part-time job. Typically in the United States, high schoolers will get a flexible, part-time job in retail or food service. Maybe if you have a skill, you help coach kids. You'll know the timing is right based on the legal age requirement, free-time you have in school, ability to drive/transport to work, and financial support from your family. Also, good to think about future expenses, i.e. college if you choose to go.

Patricia’s Answer

There is never a set time to start a job. Some people start part time jobs while in school and others wait until they graduated to begin working. If you want to work, earn money and gain experience then you should go for it! Paid summer internships are a great way to earn money over the summer holidays and they look good on the CV also.

If you're still in college, retail, customer services jobs are easy jobs to start earning some money. If you are not in school anymore, maybe seek an internship or a full time entry level position in a field that interests you.

Dan’s Answer

There isn't really any set time to get a job. look for a entry level job that suits your interests. There are a lot of companies that need help and are willing to train you at no charge and some will pay you while you are in training. Don't be afraid to try something new to you. You will know soon enough if it fits you. Building your skills is a always a good thing. I did finish construction for years before I got into auto body for 40+ years. Construction skills are always handy to have, but it was not where I wanted to be long term. The world is a blank page waiting for you to fill it in! Good Travels!

Kajetan’s Answer

I think that there is no ideal time to start working, but the most vital is to try. Search for companies that provide solutions you are interested in and then write to them or send your CV for an internship/assistant. Be patient and do not worry that nobody is answering, maybe one day someone will call you and invite for an interview. Be prepared and show them that you can bring value for the company and team members.
Remember, it is better to try and fail than do nothing.
Fingers crossed!

Lukas’s Answer

You will never know unless you try. Just get a job, and then you can see if you like working in general, or maybe you like something else in life. It's up to you. You just have to try! :)

Alyssa’s Answer

Avoid rushing into applying for a job when you're uncertain about your interest in it. Ensure that the job aligns with at least one-third of your ideal job criteria. It might seem straightforward, but numerous job seekers often apply for positions they aren't genuinely interested in. Pose this question to yourself: would you feel thrilled if you were invited for an interview?
