Q: I'm 13, from a small town in Texas, and Books-A-Million is probably one of my favorite places to hang out. Is there anyway I can like, "intern" (shelving books ect.) I know the place inside and out, and I think it would be good to have some experience for further jobs. Is there any way they would let me work there, and if so how should I go about it? Thanks for the suggestion about the work permit. I'll look into it. It stinks that I'm thirteen, because the only gigs I can get are babysitting and the likes of that.
A: I think they would want over 16s, I couldn't get a job anywhere until I was 16. You could try getting a work permit to allow you to work, but the company probably wouldn't hire you because their insurance doesn't cover minors. Have a nice day and good luck, I hope you get the job. It's sad because you sound like a perfect person for the job but your age puts you at a disadvantage. Hugs.
