Students under the age of 16 must get a worker's permit.Students may get a worker's permit in the School Counseling Office from Mrs. Dorsey.

  • When seeking a job, be sure your application is neatly filled out, with no blanks, and that you dress nicely, and communicate clearly with the interviewer.Employers are looking for people who are reliable and responsible, friendly, honest and have good communication skills.Also, let them know you are a Monticello High School student!

Age Requirement  A work permit is required for anyone under age 16.  Unfortunately, many of the businesses do not post the age requirement in the papers.  Most that are listed below require 16 or older.  However, there are some businesses that will say 18 when you call them.   For those younger than 16, it is more difficult.  Many businesses are reluctant to hire under 16 due to the laws concerning hours of work. For those younger than 16, most of the time students must think about some fast food places, swimming pools (concession stands), and perhaps some small privately-owned stores or businesses.  Younger students should go into the place of business with a mature attitude, let the employer know of their strengths (reliable, good transportation, quick learner, good communication skills, etc.)  Sometimes employers will take a chance.  You may pick up a Work Permit in the MHS Attendance Office.

It's a Tough Job Market Out There!!

Advice:

  • Students are competing with adults for jobs!    
  • Don't quit your job if you have one.
  • Many businesses are not advertising in the paper. The best way to find a job is through networking; tell everyone that you are looking and what you can do. 
  • Be aware of the skills you have to offer the employer and list them on your resume.
  • More than ever, you need to have a resume (see Mrs. Burton for help
  • Dress nicely and communicate clearly!!
  • This may be the time to get work experience through volunteering or interning-these experiences will help you stand out in the job market!!
  • Also, get certified!!-CPR, First Aid, Lifeguarding!!
  • Businesses may not be hiring at the moment, but it is a good idea to check in regularly to see the status of your application.  They will replace workers eventually; make sure you are the applicant that stands out 

    Attention parents and students:  Understand that the school is not able to screen individuals or entities who offer these jobs to high school students.  It is your responsibility to make sure that any community job offer is appropriate for your child.
