Stop, it's taken off!

Working in cinema, namely filming in commercials, youth TV series, and extras, is also very common among active and enterprising teenagers. In addition, such work has a special advantage: gaining experience and the opportunity to “get exposed.” We all know that many of today's show business stars began their careers on the set of the popular TV series "Jumble."

We greet guests with a smile, and see them off... also with a smile!

Previously, such a profession was not even known, but over the last decade, the work of a hostess has become in demand. What kind of work is this? Hostess translated from English means the hostess of the hall. Typically, girls and boys are recruited for this work in restaurants, hotels, and salons of various specializations. The job of young people is to meet and greet guests, help them with seating, bring menus, resolve issues related to the maintenance of the hall, and escort guests.

We give people fun

The profession of an animator is suitable for cheerful, athletic, active children.

However, such work is highly paid and you can save a decent amount over the summer.

This can bring good income in the future. For a long time now, there have been various content exchanges on the Internet where you can start your career in this path; you just need to register.

Entering captcha

Perhaps the easiest way to make money on the Internet. The task is to unravel the symbols shown in the picture. They pay little for it, so in order to earn a normal amount, you need to spend a huge amount of time.

Young blogger

Advanced young people should consider this way of making money on the Internet, such as maintaining their own blog.
A blog is the same site, only filled out by one person. Usually these are stories from life, videos, audio materials, photographs and just everyday thoughts. Income will depend on the level of attendance. If you have something to tell others, then it’s worth a try. How to get sick leave at a clinic - all the answers to this question are in our material!

If you need a permanent job, then pay attention to the offers on the premises. We also recommend reading our article on how to join the team at a new job.

Know that you have rights and that you deserve to be treated with courtesy. You probably haven’t come across tyrant bosses yet. If you feel that you are being offended or humiliated at your new job, first consult with your parents. Never tolerate rudeness, learn to respect yourself.

You can also get a job as an operator in a call center. This vacancy is universal; it does not require any serious skills. Suitable for both summer part-time work and permanent work. Often the task is to promote products over the phone. Or consulting clients.

Not only teenagers, but also adults work as operators. The main thing is to get a little training. It's not that difficult.

Where to look for vacancies?

We decided where we can work at 14 or 15 years old. But how to find suitable vacancies? There are such options.

But here is a somewhat non-standard and original work. It is perfect for teenagers of any age. We are talking about providing dog walking services. A good way to earn money, especially if the teenager has his own pet.

This vacancy occurs mainly in large cities, where residents do not always have time for four-legged friends. Walking dogs for money is mostly a summer part-time job. But at other times of the year you can work this way.

Payment, as you might guess, is for walking. This job is suitable for people who love dogs. Teenagers can easily be trusted to walk their four-legged friends. This vacancy does not require any skills or abilities, the only important thing is the availability of free time.

In general, this list of part-time jobs for a 15-year-old teenager does not end there. There are many employment options. It all depends on the skills and desires of the minor.

Can they be deceived and how to avoid it?

It's possible. Therefore, before applying for a job, you must become familiar with the company or company in more detail and read the information. Ask parents to contact the employer and be proactive. You must also come to the meeting with an adult.

Here are some valuable tips that will protect you from being scammed:

If the work is without official employment, agree ONLY to payment immediately after completing the task. For example, you spent three hours distributing leaflets, after which you must be paid for this work. If your employer offers to pay you once a week or less, you most likely won’t get your money.
You will probably come across vacancies where, before you start working, you need to: pay them for materials, for photographs for a portfolio, for shipping, pay a fee or knowledge test, make a monetary contribution. Doesn't matter!
WARNING! Never pay anything! You pay the money, and the employer will disappear in an unknown direction.
If you find a vacancy for typing or assembling/sorting products at home, rest assured that this is a scam. Such vacancies currently no longer exist.

How to find a job on the Internet

To start searching for orders, you need to register on one or more sites. Copywriting exchanges may require you to pass a short literacy test, while freelancing sites may require something like a subscription fee to prove you're serious.

What does the law say?

There are 2 options for finding a job for a teenager aged 14-15:

Official employment (with the conclusion of a contract and entry in the work book);
Unofficial employment (without a contract).

If everything is clear with the second option, you come and get a job at your own peril and risk. The first option requires clarification.

IMPORTANT! The Labor Code of the Russian Federation allows working officially from the age of 14, but only with the written consent of the parents. In addition, the work must comply with the rules.

What kind of work are they not allowed to hire a child under 18 years of age?

Let's look at the legislation and see what kind of work is absolutely not suitable. After all, it is imperative to find such employment that corresponds to physical and emotional development and is within one’s strength.

A child in adolescence cannot be hired for a vacancy where:

physically and mentally difficult (for example, working as a loader);
working conditions are too dangerous (complex equipment, height, etc.);
you need to work on holidays, weekends, at night (pay attention to the last point - you absolutely cannot agree to night work, even for very good pay);
you have to deal with alcoholic beverages, narcotic substances, and toxic drugs;
work in casinos (any establishment where there is gambling business), clubs, bars, cabarets and similar places (by law you cannot even be a cleaner or dishwasher there);
part-time work related to business trips, on a rotational basis (for example, every other day).

We are often asked: is it possible to work as a waiter at 14 years old?

We answer: yes, according to Russian laws you can officially get a job as a waiter. The problem is that employers generally do not want to contact teenagers under 16 years of age. At best, you'll get a job as a janitor or dishwasher.

Is it possible to get a job as a counselor at 14 years old?

We answer: No, you can’t. But they can hire a counselor as an assistant.

Documents with the device

You will have to consult with your parents and inform them of your desire to find a job (or a small part-time job during school hours). They will be required to provide written permission and an agreement to the employer. What else is needed to get hired?

Your passport (birth certificate).
SNILS (insurance number of a citizen’s personal account in the pension fund system).
Results of a medical examination of the established standard (the employer must pay for them).
Even if you are only 14-15 years old, you already have rights: the employer must draw up a work book, conclude an employment contract with you and issue an order to hire you.

Ask your parents to help you collect all the necessary papers and undergo a medical examination. To avoid losing documents, it is better to create a special folder.

IMPORTANT : the employer does not have the right to assign a probationary period, not pay it or pay it partially. This is considered a violation of your rights.

Work as a promoter

You can become a promoter at the age of 14. There are many options for work: some conduct tastings in supermarkets, others advertise some kind of equipment, others offer to try cosmetics.

Promoters work 4-5 hours a day, mostly in the evenings or on weekends. After all, most people go to the store at this time.

Employers require promoters to be active. Often you need to advertise products in a loud voice. Therefore, this job is not for the shy. But here you can earn pocket money and conduct some kind of communication training for yourself.

Methods of deception and fraud

At 16-17 years old, teenagers have little work experience. Therefore, it is much easier to deceive them than adults. We want to warn you by telling you about the most popular deception schemes.

The employer does not have the right to have a probationary period, because until the age of 18 you cannot be a qualified worker, therefore, you cannot be tested.
For a number of vacancies, you will be offered to first invest money and only then get a good job. In 99% of cases this is a scam, here are some examples:
Typist vacancy - for you to start working, they must send disks with materials. You pay for shipping the discs, but you don’t receive anything. Just wasted money.
Vacancy for a tutor, author of scientific papers - before starting work, you must pass a test of knowledge of the subject, testing the test is paid. You pay to check the test... and that's where it ends. No work, no money.
We especially note offers of an intimate nature and participation in erotic photography. Keep in mind that you can be blackmailed after such filming, demanding money. And if you refuse to pay, they may threaten to send obscene photos to your friends on social media. networks and teachers at school/college.

Job Search Tips

The main thing in finding income is desire, determination and self-confidence. Think about what type of activity suits you best, how much time you are willing to spend on work every day and week. Then start searching for vacancies or assignments on the Internet.

If something doesn’t work out, don’t get upset, don’t quit halfway, keep working and deepening your knowledge, then everything will work out. Everyone sometimes faces difficulties, we must learn to overcome them.

To avoid working for free and losing money to scammers:

Don't be fooled by promises of big and quick income for simple tasks. This is a lie, no employer gets up in the morning with the dream of giving you more money just like that. Most likely, these are scammers who want to scam you out of your credentials or something else for their own purposes;
Try not to work without advance payment with complete strangers, especially on the Internet. Chat with other guys, try to find a job through friends and acquaintances. This makes it easier to avoid being scammed.
On the Internet, start working on exchanges and proven sites for freelancers.

Be careful, do not rush to make any decisions, think everything through. Often scammers try to convince us that we need to act quickly, depriving us of time to think.

Labor Code provisions for minors

Before starting to review the most popular methods of obtaining legal profit, you should refer to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. It contains provisions on the work of employees who are already 14 years old. According to current legislation, Russians under 16 years of age must work no more than 24 hours during the week. If a 14-year-old teenager is officially employed by an enterprise, he is entitled to annual leave, the duration of which is at least 31 days (Article 267 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). By law, a minor citizen has the right to register it at a time convenient for himself.

Important: despite the loyalty of Russian labor legislation in relation to teenagers who want to work from the age of 14, they must remember that from the moment the employment relationship is formalized, responsibility to the employer begins. If a minor citizen causes damage, he will be obliged to compensate for it, and he will have to pay material costs even after termination of the employment contract (Article 232 of the Code). Also, according to Art. 192 of the Labor Code, disciplinary sanctions are provided for all employees (including persons over 14 years of age) for failure to fulfill official duties.

If a teenager decides to officially get a job and work part-time in his free time, he must take into account several important points when applying for a job. Employers who comply with the law always:

pay wages in a pre-agreed amount (officially);
conclude an employment contract with a teenager with the consent of one of the parents (guardians);
eliminate the occurrence of overtime;
do not allow the teenager to perform heavy physical labor.

Unfortunately, many employers do not sign employment agreements with minors. In this case, the child is deprived of legal protection and may not receive the money due to him for the work performed. When employed, a teenager must be asked to sign a civil contract. The legislator justifies this by the fact that, starting from the age of 14, citizens have the right to independently manage the money they earn and make small transactions. These include an agreement for the provision of various services or contracts (this fact is confirmed in Article 26 of the Civil Code of Russia).

Important: if, without concluding a written agreement (with the knowledge of the parents/guardians), the employer does not pay the child money for the work performed, then even in court it will be very problematic to obtain it, since such transactions will be declared invalid, since one of the parties to the contract (teenager) does not have full legal capacity. This must be taken into account before signing documents.

Rights and obligations under the Labor Code

These days there are a large number of vacancies for minors. At the same time, there remain many offers of illegal work for young people.

IMPORTANT! When working unofficially, the employer does not enter into an employment contract, does not take responsibility, pays wages from the “black” cash register, and may deceive you and not pay extra.

In addition, the law regarding the length of the working day and other things is often violated. Worker experience in this case also does not apply.

If you only find this option, then you can just try it, don’t forget to inform the adults first.

How to get a job officially?

If you are lucky enough to find a legal job, then how to correctly and competently go through all the employment procedures? Let's look at what needs to be done.

According to the Labor Code, you must enter into an employment contract. It is indicated that you have no right to work more than 36 hours a week.
Once a year you can go on vacation for 31 days. Sick leave is also paid.

You need to come to the first interview with your parents, even if you consider yourself to be completely independent. The employer must see the parents.

List of documents

It must be collected completely and brought to the employer.

Passport or other identification document.
Employment history.
Insurance policy.
Certificate of registration from the military registration and enlistment office (for young men).
Medical book.
TIN.
Savings book.

If there is no labor or insurance policy, then the employer takes one on his own. A young person aged 16-17 years old is required to undergo a medical examination when applying for any job; fluorography will be required at every workplace. A military certificate is required if you are registered with the military registration and enlistment office.
