1st, you don't need to fear god.

ask people if they need help.

go to everyone you know and tell them.

write a resume, even if it looks stupid.

it never helped me find a job, but it got me interested in trying.

don't watch so much t.v.

sit down and ask yourself, "what is the ideal job, and location"

then you get up in the morning and remember what you imaginged.

every day, even if you already have a small job, think of your real wish.

visualize your day, your week, your month, your year, and write it down. repeat positive things about yourself all the time. take chances, if you think it will get you the job.

you only learn from your mistakes.

Well you apply for jobs at food areas, shopping malls, and other little odd jobs that'll take on a 16 year old applicant. If its your first job, just state why that job should be your first and be willing to learn. Also, following up on an application and interview would help you out as well to show that you've learned a lot and can go further with whoever you decide to work for. :-D

hi! i dont agree with iggy. if you're God fearing, it's a plus for you. it's hard to find people doing their job well while maintaining their integrity. if you can tell yourself and show others you can be trusted and you always have the attitude that you always wanna learn, you might go far. now, the answer to your question is another set of questions. what do you want to do now? what can you do? what do you want to do in the future? practically, buy and sell is a good way to earn money. that is if you wanna earn right away. if you think you cant be very good in selling, then maybe you can ask a friend to be partners with you. start selling with your own family, relatives and then your friends.you can ask them what they need or "observe" what you think he needs then tell him you can buy it for him then add a couple of bucks to the regular selling price. if you have enough capital, then you can expand what you do into a business(whatever you think might work). i have a friend of mine who started like that, now, he has his own business, house and car! he started when he was 15... ;)

Learn to design websites, you can make more money doing that at any age, than flipping burgers.

I know a 15 year old boy who does this. He's already paid for his college.

Fast food or get a job as a courtesy clerk (sacker) at the grocery store.

I recommend becoming a waiter/waitress. Good money and lots of fun.

Buy and sell. Buy cheap, sell high. Very simple.
