    Hi there

    I don't think anyone will PM you a job offer.

    What have you done so far to find a job?

    Hi im not looking for someone to PM me a job, Im simply looking for suggestions.
    I have emailed a number of companies both local and national for work, only two people have replied. Ive been doing my junior cert so hadnt really got the time to go searching everywere, thats why I came here for suggestions to narrow my search.
    *Well the Pm thing was on an off chance,
    Cant blame me for trying*

    Children
    Under the Act, employers cannot employ children aged under 16 in regular full-time jobs. Children aged 14 and 15 may be employed as follows:
    • Doing light work during the school holidays – they must have at least 21 days off work during this time
    • As part of an approved work experience or educational programme where the work is not harmful to their health, safety or development
    • In film, cultural, advertising work or sport under licences issued by the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
    Children aged 15 may do 8 hours a week light work in school term time. The maximum working week for children outside school term time is 35 hours or up to 40 hours if they are on approved work experience.

    the difficulty for you is that you are under 16, and therefore classed as a child for work purposes. As a child there are strict limitations on how you can be employed. Most large companies won't bother with the inconvenience to be honest. Your best bet is to ask around locally to small businesses, shops, restaurants etc as this is really the main sort of work teenagers will get.
