I'm a high school junior in Fayetteville, AR and looking for a part-time job. Can anyone recommend places that regularly hire high school students? Trying to save up some money before college applications start!
There are plenty of part-time job opportunities for high school students in Fayetteville.
Fast food chains (e.g. McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, Sonic Drive-In) and local restaurants are usually willing to hire high school students for positions such as cashier, cook, or server. These jobs can help you develop customer service skills and can provide a consistent paycheck.
Retail stores such as Walmart, Target, or local clothing boutiques, also hire part-time employees for roles like stocking merchandise or working the cash register.
Additionally, consider looking into jobs related to events like concerts or sports matches at the University of Arkansas. These positions might involve selling tickets, handling food and beverages, setting up for events, or cleaning after.
Lastly, there are typically opportunities for high school students at local libraries, after school programs, or tutoring services. These jobs can offer more flexible hours and may be more aligned with an academic schedule.
Be sure to check the minimum age requirements for each job, as some might require you to be at least 16 or 18 years old. Good luck with your job search and saving for college!
