I'm a junior looking for part-time work opportunities in Wichita Falls. Do any local students know of places that are hiring high schoolers right now? I'm looking for something that doesn't clash with my school schedule.
Appreciating your initiative to find a job while still in high school! Generally, many places hire high schoolers for part-time work with flexible hours that can accommodate school schedules. You might want to consider:
1. Retail Stores: These often have positions like cashiers or store associates and are frequently hiring. Check out establishments such as Target, Walmart, or local grocery stores.
2. Food Service: Local restaurants, fast-food chains (like McDonald's or In-N-Out), and coffee shops (Starbucks, for instance) usually hire high schoolers. You could be a server, host/hostess, line cook, or barista.
3. Tutoring: If you feel confident in any particular subject, you could offer tutoring services to younger students. Try reaching out to local elementary schools/middle schools or your school's guidance office for connections.
4. Local Movie Theater: They are typically accommodating to high school schedules and offer evening or weekend hours.
5. Recreation Centers: If your city or school has a recreation center, they might hire teens for various roles, including facility attendant or assistant sports coach.
Remember, it's not just about earning money. Working part-time can also help build skills and might be used as an extracurricular involvement to enhance your college applications. Good luck with your job search!
