AT&T job opportunities for high school students?

I'm in high school and exploring job opportunities while balancing school. I've heard that AT&T sometimes hires teens. Can anyone share what kinds of jobs might be available and any tips to land one of these positions?

Absolutely, AT&T does have opportunities for high school students, specifically through their internships and part-time entry level roles, which could be an interesting opportunity for you to consider.

One of the key entry-level roles for high school students at AT&T could be a Retail Sales Consultant. This job entails helping customers with product and services inquiries, guiding them to the most appropriate product or service, and smoothly wrapping up sales. This sort of role could be a great fit if you have strong people skills, an interest in tech, or aspirations in sales or customer service.

For Internships, these are usually limited to college students. However, some high school internship opportunities might occasionally show up so keep an eye on their internship listings. These programs could offer a deeper dive into the telecom industry, more complex work, and networking opportunities that could help later in your career.

As for landing a job at AT&T, here are a few tips:

1. Tailor your resume: Highlight any relevant skills or experiences. Even for entry-level jobs, it's important to tailor your resume to emphasize skills relevant to the job, like customer service, tech proficiency, or sales skills.

2. Research about AT&T: By really understanding the company and the role you're applying for, you can make a more convincing case for why you're the right fit. This will also help you prepare for any interviews.

3. Network: Try to connect with current or former employees—either through school, family, or online platforms. Networking can sometimes give you valuable insights into the company culture and the hiring process, and might even help get your foot in the door.

Also worth noting that most positions will require you to be at least 16 years of age and to have reliable transportation. Be sure to balance your work hours with your school schedule, as keeping up with your academics will also be important. Best of luck with your job search!
