I don't know if you can get a job at Hollister at 14. But hey, curiosity doesn't always kill the cat! Ask them. If they say no, ask other stores/restaurants/etc. If that doesn't work, you can always baby-sit, tutor, type papers for kids in summer school, or maybe even something like mowing lawns. I must say, I am surprised that you actually want a job at an early age. If I didn't have to pay for my own gasoline, I wouldn't work at a cafe!
Good luck! =D

I recommend something in the food industry, but not fast food. I started working at 14 at a coffee shop, and loved it so much I was there for almost 2 years. Now at 18 I have years of different job experiences and have a job that the people I went to high school with couldn't get as easily. I recommend starting at a young age, and getting a first job at a small and locally owned place.

Hollister does not hire under 18. Yes 14 year olds are legally allowed to work, but you need a work permit. Also you are only allowed to work minimal hours. I think the only places that could hire you are places that would pay mininum wage and usually retail. !4 is kind of a stretch most places hire at 16 and 15 if your lucky. But good luck!

you have to be older to work at stores or any type of job with taxes on the money. but jobs that are under the table cash like caddying at a golf course for example.. i know it sounds kind of manly but if your a girl you end up getting paid soo much. trust me. its worth it
