XeCookie_ wrote Have you tried going to local temp agencies? You did specify a summer job in the title so imo that would be your best bet. I also live in the east coast of the US and temp agencies will even give you a job the next day at least from why I have seen. Otherwise I would recommend going to retail stores or just driving around in general man you're bound to see a "We're Hiring" sign some where. As one user mentioned above try checking the local mall.

What do you mean by temp stores?

Good luck trying to get hired in at 16, try golf courses,

I worked at grocery store, fast food and a warehouse. Wouldnt recommend fast food the others were great.

Landscaping builds character and keeps you busy, plus it starts early and usually then ends early. And its a great workout and being outdoors all day.

if you live near hotels apply there for summer work its always steady and their always looking for extra employees for the busy summer.

if you wanna get your toes in the door for IT, i would do that now i did that before joining the army and doing IT was the best choice of my life!
