Summer Job Advice-

Note that you are looking to work a temp job. Go into it telling the truth on that part so there is no confusion on the employers part later when you quit.

I started work at 15 at Outback Steakhouse, as a busser. Stayed there until I started college. They worked around my school and soccer schedules, with opportunity to work nights or mornings. I worked my way from busser to line cook to prep cook. Pretty fun job as well, that and they fed me.

I would say seek an entry level job in the restaurant, grocery, landscaping, or construction fields. They usually are okay with temporary work, and don't mind younger kids that can work hard and take little pay.

Another good idea, check to see if UPS is hiring. There shifts, may be slightly different in your area, are usually early morning, before school, or late night, after 3-4pm. I had lots of high school kids start there when I was a manager. Some even got credit for the work experience at the high school they attended. Pay is decent and weekly, and it is one hell of a good workout at your age.
