1. You need to obtain a work permit as you are a 15 yr old minor in Oklahoma.
2. Learn the child labor laws in your state. How many hours you can work during the school week, weekends, summer, holidays, etc.
3. Start asking for applications at restaurants, stores, the mall, and other places that seem to have young staff. Fill it out, turn it in (wear something nice when you do as they might interview you on the spot).
4. Getting involved in extra curricular activities in school will spruce up an application.
Honestly I would find people you know and ask them for work. Farmers, small business etc. can get around the rules easier. OR you could get a paper route, or even better, start your own business. My first business was a shoe shine stand when I was 7.
Networking is the number one way to get a job. SO instead of asking strangers here, ask people you know around home.

In leui of a reddie, I thought I'd actually reply. "Getting around the rules" isn't really the best advice to be giving a 15-year-old. They need to learn responsibility, honesty, work ethic and dependabilty. Those rules are set for a reason. Would you let your 15 year old kid work 40 hours on a school week, or get unreasonably low pay for hard work or get someone in trouble for not reporting an employee on taxes? I'm sorry but this is not good advice.

Very sound advice there, Momma! Very sound advice...
Sound advice if the advice is not getting a job. She asked how to get a job. Not how to get a job while maintaining a moral decorum dictated by others. If she wants moral advice I'll give it to her. But I'll take the comments as good indicators of factors to consider when helping others in the future.
