Answer:

Do what I did when I was your age? Nothing has changed, reallyYou are one of hundreds of applicants and you've got to be different so the recruiter or hiring manager will hire youTarget where you want to work and then look like a million bucksI dressed up in a suit at 16 and went into 3 places in Tampa, FloridaI had 3 job offers in one dayIs this corny? Yes but most high schoolers do not dress up or look as sharp as they couldI chose to work as a bag boy as it suited my needsI got the job because no other bag boy applicants cared to wear a suit and tie for a jobI used that story many times when people come to interview with me, dressed inappropriatelyI knew at 16 years of age how to dress for any and all job interviews, except when I drove a crane truckBe different and don't follow the same drum beat and you'll find that job and many others in the subsequent yearsRegards from the Smoky Mountains.
