Erin’s Answer

Waiter/Waitress! I was a waitress for 5 years while I went to high school and college, and it was the best thing I could have done for myself. Weekends are the busiest time for restaurants, so they are usually always open to help on those days. It is very entry-level friendly, as it is usually not too difficult and is often very repetitive, allowing for quick learning. It can often be pretty flexible, which is a good quality to have if you're also currently in school or sports/clubs. In addition, it can help build important life skills, such as interpersonal communication, customer service skills, conflict management, time management, and your ability to multitask/prioritize. It is also typically a pretty active job, so you'll be getting your steps in for the day as well! I would definitely recommend checking it out!
Thank you comment icon Thank you for your comment! This is definitely one of the options that I believe suit me the most especially since I need to start building some of the skills you listed above. I have begun applying hopefully I hear back from them soon. Estefani

Jasmine’s Answer

Hello Estefani,

Start by identifying your passions and then aim to find a job that aligns with them. If you're a bookworm, consider working in a bookstore. If you're a sports fanatic, why not work in a sporting goods store or even coach a kids' team? If you love films or coffee, consider working in a movie theatre or a coffee shop!

If your job aligns with your interests, you're much more likely to enjoy it. Plus, you'll gain deeper knowledge about the field you're passionate about. No matter where you end up, your first job is going to help you grow and develop so many important skills like time management, customer service, conflict management etc.

Good luck!

Hello Estefani,

I would say you can apply for supermarkets,
or pattiserie (if you would like to take your own business),
cafe
or
restaurant (if you would like to work one of these) if you would like to work in this field.

I hope this helps.

Kim’s Answer

Perhaps a call center? I know you said no fast food, but Pizza Hut has a call center in San Antonio that provides jobs to many young people. My first jobs were in retail sales. Perhaps a pet hotel/doggy daycare? tourist-related jobs - https://www.visityuma.com/

Lots of places are willing to train you if you are dependable and have a good attitude!

EDIT: Also perhaps a movie theater or sports complex
