Post a CommentGood advice. I had a hard time finding jobs when I was a teenager.
Very well done Marcia!
Great article! I think that one of the greatest gifts a parent can give their children is the confidence and knowledge to be good employees. When our daughter was a teenager, her main "job" was to do well in school. But we also required that she hold down either a part-time job or volunteer in the community. She did both, and learned how to communicate well, be a valuable worker and better understand the community around her. It really boosted her confidence and better prepared her for future jobs.
