Reply #59: Is he applying to seasonal jobs? [View All]

In Wisconsin since there is a definite change in the weather, there are seasonal jobs at summer attractions, hotels, certain restaurants, landscaping, construction, and agriculture.
I don't know if there are many jobs like that in Texas.
When the economy is or has been bad, I think that businesses who do not have a significant change in seasonal business are less likely to hire seasonal help, especially minors who have restrictions on their employment.
If there are any businesses that due increase their business during the summer, he should apply to those jobs. He might also want to try a temp agency, although his age and the fact that he is not a high school graduate yet might also play against him.
