I am currently looking for a position in any car audio shop in my area. Ive already been to 1 and he said that I should come back after the summer when the business gets better. Only problem is Im looking for a full time summer job. Any suggestions as to how i might be able to get a job at the next shop i stop at.....When i first talked to the manager he asked my experience ,which is little due to the fact that im only 15, and I told him alot of the complicated stuff I know, He seemed surprised and asked if I was in college and I laughed and said 9th grade. I just would like to know any things that may be able to get the job easier.
Btw i was polite,respectful, fairly well dressed and spoke well. peace
I don't know alot about the field of being an installers but I know a little. A lot of the shops around here I know don't do much hiring. I was thinking about becoming an installer myself. I am guessing that the majority of the places won't need help or just won't hire you because you are 15. You might want show them a really good install you did or do one so you can show. Impressing them might be a good road. Another thing is that you might want to get certified, MECP, to show proof of your knowledge. That might be a problem too, because of your age.
I still want to wish you GOOD LUCK though. HOLLA!!!!!!

i cant think of any shop in their right mind that would hire someone thats 15...I've never heard of a shop hiring someone under 18! Its for insurance reasons, because insurance policys wont cover damages done by people under 18 - When i was hired, 3 days before i turned 18, i couldnt touch a car until i turned. I built boxes though (cut my hand off?)
