In the current economic situation, don't count on getting a job at 16 any time soon.

If he lives in Illinois and in the Chicago-land area I'm pretty sure he can get a job. As far as Gamestop goes, I think they go more for older college age teens.

Yeah even when they were hiring here they usually don't hire under 18 because of prosecuting issues if you steal merch or cash.

Anyway what? I'm dead serious. Employers are looking for experienced workers in this economy. Not some smart ass 16 year old. Most college grads can't even get jobs right now.

Well, I have friends who have applied at 17 and been denied, so I think its more likely if you are 18+ And yes, I live in Illinois so I think that's pretty accurate.

I'm pretty sure they do. http://careers.gamestop.com/Careers/FAQ.aspx Also, cheer up. Keep applying everywhere you can. You'll get a job eventually. The situation is bad, but it's not as bad as some people say.

Either the website is lying or someone needs to get sued. They wouldn't even interview one of my friends because he was only 17.

Looks like you should tell your friend to get a lawyer. ;)
