Teenagers searching for part time jobs is tough enough, but beating out the competition makes things even tougher.
Getting selected for the job among all of the other job applicants is easier than you think, if you put yourself in the shoes of the one doing the actual hiring.
Here are 7 secrets to follow when you are applying for part time jobs for teens:

1. Apply for the job multiple times.
   It's a numbers game.
   Period.
   
2. Once you fill out an online part time job application and don't hear back within a week or two, fill it out again online.
   Do it several times, regularly, and you will get their attention.
   
3. Try to speak to the person in charge of the actual hiring, so when you call to follow up, you won't be wasting time speaking to an employee who doesn't care and won't relay your message.
   
4. Do regular follow ups.
   Persistence is the key and one of the only things that the potential employer has to go by other than your job application and initial interview.
   
5. Follow up by calling or walking in and asking for the person in charge of hiring teens for their part time jobs.
   The goal is to get some "face time" with this person.
   
6. When you do follow up, you never know who is watching you so you should naturally have a positive attitude and a friendly demeanor.
   
7. A positive attitude and friendly demeanor are huge and should be practice at all times anyways, regardless if you get the job.
   

The reason why you want the "face time" with the hiring manager is because the person in charge of hiring has been through this process many times and just by looking at you, they can determine if you really want this job or are doing it because you may be forced by your parents (or your situation) to find the closest job to your house or what not.
Start by filling out as many online local part-time job applications, then (as we mentioned earlier) if you don't hear back within a week or two, fill them out again and again and keep following up until you have achieved success! These 7 secrets truly work when applying for part-time jobs for teens.
Follow these steps religiously because they are extremely powerful in helping you get the job that you have applied for.
You'd think that everyone is doing them, but the truth is- they're not.
And by following these 7 secrets, you'll be head and shoulders above all other candidates.
Be persistent.
The goal is to get as many interviews as you can.
