I am 17 years old, and I want to have part time job on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday each week. What I am wondering is will anyone hire me with such as narrow schedule of three days per week? I do not want to work on majority of the weekday (Mon,Tues,Wens, and Thur) because I am still in high school.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Restaurants (that don't serve alcohol). Fast food. Hospitals- transporting patients or aide.
Good on you for wanting to work. I am amazed to meet people who never had after-school or summer jobs.
Oh, if you live somewhere more rural, maybe part-time stable work. Animals need care seven days a week, and few people want to work seven days a week! If a more suburban area, maybe a horse-riding stable for the same thing.
I agree with restaurants. See if you can get a gig bussing tables on the busy nights. It's quick work, you're on your feet, and some restaurants will tip you out so you do good for only working a few hours.
Guarantee it won't work again this year. For the types of jobs you're looking at, you will need to dress nicely and pound the pavement (door to door to get applications, fill them out and turn them in same day).
The idea above is a good one (pounding the pavement), show up at some places you know are open over the weekends and ask about a job. I would visit such places during business hours on weekdays, so the chances of the hiring manager being there is better for you. Make sure you take with yourself some business cards with your name, email, and phone number and what type of job you are seeking. It does not have to be anything fancy, simple. The cards should be mostly white in the background and on the flip side, so they can write on them.
The thing is many people do not like to work weekends at all, so you might have edge in getting some jobs over some applicants. Good luck.
You actually probably have an advantage since many applicants do *not* want to work weekends. So an employer who operates all weekend will probably be really glad to have someone who wants to work when others don't.

You have no idea whether it will work or not. In fact, MANY retail employers need exactly this schedule. So, please make sure you tell OP it is your opinion. Oh, and if I may add, I got my part time weekend job by applying online...in November. So, it worked 3 months ago. And before you say it was a holiday application, it was not at all. I applied AFTER the holiday hiring rush and was not able to work Thanksgiving or Christmas Weekends.
