    I think your main issue will be your age, most places will only take you on when you are 18 as workers under 18 have restrictive limits on the hours they can work.

    First port of should be the local shops, centra etc.

    Call in, meet the boss and ask for a weekend job, if they have none, hand them a card with your details on it and ask them to keep you in mind and thank them for their time.

    After that, try a bike shop.

    Repeat until you have a job!

    I am 15 years old and live in co. limerick. I did my junior cert in June and I have been working as a babysitter/house cleaner 5 days a week this summer. I have previously had other small jobs such as painting, cleaning, grass cutting etc. for relatives. I love working as I'm not one to sit around all day. Come September however I won't be able to continue with my job as I have school, hence I am looking for a weekend/evening job in a restaurant/cafe/shop/office etc.
    I am open to any job offers. I am aware that most places do not hire people under 16 but 15 year olds in Ireland are allowed to work 8 hours a week during school term. I am a very organised, quick thinking and polite person. I am very mature for my age and I am also a fast learner. If you are an employer seeking a part time employee please do not hesitate to contact me as I said I am open to any job offers.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sarah
