i'm 16, and have been looking for a weekend job for like a month now... any ideas?
Although your area might be different, most parts of the country are seeing record high employment, so finding a job should be possible. Lots of employers are looking for good folks.
So, since you've been at it for a month and aren't working yet, let's look at reasons.
First, look at yourself. My office occasionally hires teenagers for weekend receptionist. Routinely, about half of the applicants make the same mistakes.
How do you present yourself? Your friends may appreciate the fauxhawk hair with the blue highlights, and the t-shirt from your favorite band, but you won't be working at any job with much public contact looking like that.
Do you come prepared for the interview? Stopping in with a bunch of buddies to "pick up an application" on your way to the beach isn't going to go over well, and will be remembered. Oh, and don't bring mom, either. Have her drop you off if you must, but she doesn't come in. Trust me, it doesn't help.
If you're offered an interview, show up a few minutes early and act like you're trying to impress your girlfriend's grandfather.
Ok, you've got a haircut that even your grandfather approves of, and you're wearing the clothes that your mom bought and you hate. You're by yourself and you're on time, and you're acting like those kids at school that get stuffed into lockers. What's next?
Where are you looking? Everyone makes jokes about flipping burgers and washing dishes, but those jobs are where a lot of people start. (Not many Fortune 500 companies are starting part-time 16 year olds as CEO, no matter how good you look.) The pay is lousy, and the work is hard. That's why it's so easy to get that kind of job. (Nobody else wants it.)
But... Show up on time for all your shifts, work your tail off and it will give you valuable experience, a little money and either a decent reference or a chance for promotion.
Just remember that when you quit, you should give notice. (Many folks in those jobs don't, but you want a good reference at the end of the job.) That reference will help you either get a better job or even help you get into college.
Hope this helps.

Summer Weekend Break Ideas
Summer weekend breaks are great ways to get away from it all. Sometimes due to job restrictions people have long stretches during which they have to work during the week and only get the weekend off. This being the case, it pays to have some good ideas ready to go as regards where you will go and what you will do during a weekend break.
The following are a few such ideas:
Active Breaks
You may want to take an active sort of weekend break. This could consist of some outdoor or sports activity such as hiking, mountain climbing, snow or water skiing, and so on. These breaks can be taken in resort areas with mountains and lakes or in more secluded getaways where there are cottage rentals and so on.
Relaxing Breaks
Relaxing breaks are a type of break that emphasizes relaxation rather than high levels of activity. These breaks can be taken at hotels, bed and breakfasts, or resorts, in the country, the city, or by the beach. You should try to include things like relaxing sessions in whirlpool hot tubs, swimming and sun bathing, and great dinners.
City Breaks
City breaks can be taken in cities in your country of residence or in some foreign country. Choose a city that interests you. You can either explore a classic and famous city like New York or Paris or one that is a little less in the limelight like Istanbul Turkey or San Diego California. The point is to find a city that you would like to explore and familiarize yourself with places in the city you would like to visit before going so that you can see as many as possible during the course of your stay.
Culture Breaks
This overlaps with city breaks to some degree, in that much of cultural interest is usually contained in cities. They have large museums, art, music, and theater, and so on in abundance. So you may wish to take a culture break in a well known city. This does not mean however that you can't take a culturally rich weekend break in a small town. There are plenty of small towns that have all kinds of attractions of great cultural interest.
Shopping Breaks
Shopping is something many people love to do on their off time. Shopping breaks are a way to get away from it all and come back with needed or wanted items. You can take these kinds of weekend breaks even in your town or city of residence just by making a weekend out of shopping at your favorite store. Or you can visit other cities or towns that feature specific items or types of items you feel you might like to buy. The internet usually makes finding interesting shopping sites quite easy.
Romantic Breaks
Trips with your spouse or significant other can be a great sort of weekend break. Find a location both of you like and plan what you will do there. Plan things like a romantic dinner each night, long walks in pleasant outdoor surroundings, and luxury hotel accommodations. If you set this up right a weekend should be enough time to experience an enchanting trip and to strengthen your romantic bond.
