You must first decide what type summer job you want. What hours do you want to work? How much do you want to make? Where do you want the job to be located? During this tough time, it may be very difficult to find a summer job that will satisfy all of your criteria. Just try to find one that satisfies most of your criteria. 

Secondly, you must look in the mirror and ask yourself what do you have to offer an employer? What are your skills? What experience do you have to offer? 

Third, you will need a resume. Find someone who can assist you in preparing a professional looking resume. If you are located in Montgomery, Alabama, you should contact one of the local colleges and ask if there is someone available to assist you free of charge. 

Let everyone know that you are looking for a job. Ask if they have contacts that may help you to land a summer job. You must use your network. If you listen to me, you will land a wonderful summer job. There are several multi-millionaires in Montgomery, Alabama. These multi-millionaires are nice people and would probably help you if you call them and ask.  

If you are a motivated teen, if you are willing to get to work on time and can get along well with others, you should have no problem with your job search. Good Luck!
