Can High School Students Work at AT&T Retail?

I'm really interested in working a retail job at AT&T while I'm still in high school. Is it possible for high school students to work there, and if so, what qualifications or age requirements are there?

Sure, high school students could potentially be eligible for retail positions at AT&T, but there are some criteria to bear in mind.

You must be at least 18 years old to work in most positions at AT&T, including in their retail stores, complying with labor laws that restrict the types of jobs and hours for people under 18. This age restriction is a common practice in many retail businesses, especially those selling technology or communication services.

In addition to the age requirement, other qualifications include having a high school diploma, or being in the process of acquiring one, strong interpersonal skills, the ability to demonstrate knowledge of AT&T's products and services, and a willingness to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Overall, even though high school students could technically work at AT&T, it's often challenging to balance the demands of a retail job with the time necessary for schoolwork and extracurricular activities. However, if your class schedule, homework, and extracurricular workload allow it, and you're passionate about starting work, it might be a great opportunity for you to gain valuable work experience and learn more about the communications industry.

Remember to check with your guidance counselor or another trusted adult before taking on a job during high school to ensure it won't hinder your academic progress or other obligations. They can also help you understand any local or state work permit requirements if you're under 18.
