Kids of 14 years and above will need your help to prepare resume's for jobs. You will need to prepare them for approaching getting a job in a positive manor. If you are fortunate you may know of jobs available because of connections you have already.

You may want to help them with discussing appearance, how to find places of work to apply to, how to behave when approaching prospective employers, and how to follow up job applications. Most importantly you will want to prepare your kids for that inevitable "No".
