How can I look older so I'll get hired?

Hey,

I’m 16 and a sophomore in high school and I really want to get a summer part time job. The thing is, I look like I’m still 13 and I don’t think many people would want to hire someone that looks so young. I’m not going for a big job, just this cute little bubble tea place.

Any advice, ie. dress & hair, to look slightly older so people would consider hiring me?

Thanks So Much

Answer #1

My son has the same problem. He’s 18 and looks 13. It’s not dress or hairstyle that shows maturity, it’s attitude. He has done a lot of stage acting and he has confidence. Once you get a job, show up on time, do your fair share of work and learn about how business operates. Use proper English, not slang and be attentive. A hard worker always gets raves.

Answer #2

For some reason, button-up shirts look mature. If your hair is long enough, try to do it in big wavy curls. I think that looks older. Plus it is very cute!
