[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 166591, member: 1233"] It may be that the employers see his lack of motivation and this makes them not want to even interview him. I would start at teh Dept of labor, or Health and Human Resources, or whatever your county calls it. The school may be able to help (talk to the principals and guidance counsellor), or church may be of help. could he/would he mow lawns? It probably would take initiative, and he may not be willing. Persistence and following up are the keys to getting jobs. No matter what age. I got my first job because I was a frequent customer, helped out if someone was looking for a book and I saw it (it was a used bookstore) and kept asking about hiring. my fave college job was obtained by sheer persistence. I am sorry he is not more motivated to find a job. There really is only a little a parent can do. [/QUOTE]
