Finding a summer job can be a challenge for many teens, especially those under 18. Teens under 18 fall in that weird gray area between being old enough to work and not quite qualifying for many local jobs. The surplus of job search websites available through the Internet can add to the confusion, often failing to provide information about qualifications (i.e. age requirements). So, where should one begin?
I have compiled a list of places currently hiring in Saline County, and I have personally called to confirm the minimum age required to work at each place of business.
Based on personal experience, in many cases the applicant may apply to more than one available position and will be contacted to discuss which position they are specifically eligible for based on age, work history, etc.
Please note, the minimum age listed below represents the minimum age to be employed by the business and does not necessarily reflect the age requirements for specific positions.
And a personal word of advice: once you submit an application, be sure to answer your phone when called from an unknown number. I missed a call from a prospective employer because I thought it was a spam call. Don’t make the same mistake I did! Happy job hunting!
