Teen Job Interview Question: Why are you looking for a job?

Suggested Answers

I would like to work so that I can earn some spending money. I appreciate my parent's help, but I'd like to have a little more money to spend on my own.

Ever since I could remember, I have looked forward to the day I was old enough to get a job. I cannot wait to start earning my own money so that I can save up for something special, like a car.

Since I will be a senior in high school in September, I am starting to save for the books, supplies, and extra spending money I will need for college.

I am looking for a job because I am trying to save money to pay for a trip that my best friend that I would like to take over winter break or when my work schedule permits.
