分析雜文 (Analytical Essay)

You know, as an active teenager, it’s really hard to support myself financially in the things that I do. But what’s even harder than that is trying to get a job. I do have a writing job, for the newspaper, but it doesn’t really bring in enough to support me, although it does bring some nice “pocket change” in. I blame my "joblessness" on employers. Why?

There are a few things that bug me about employers. The first is they don’t have courtesy, in any way. When I turn in an application, I’m expected to call the employer every day and literally force them to look at my application. They could look at it out of courtesy, but do they? Nope. They could also have the courtesy to call someone back when they’ve filled the spot you are applying for.

Another thing that bugs me is that it’s really hard to find someone to hire a 16 year old. It’s almost as if that “label” prohibits you from most jobs. It's similar to "The Scarlet Letter" excpet not as serious. The truth is, not all 16 year olds are created equal. When I put "Eagle Scout, Lead Saxophone in several bands, winner of the Hope of America Award, etc." on my application, it should show that I'm not an ordinary 16 year old.

So yeah, sooner or later I’ll need to get another job, so I might as well starting forcing people to read my application.
