question about employment history for a 17 year old?

Q. Right now, I'm applying for a job at Toys R Us.
I'm filling out the job application as I go along and i have a question about employment history.

I have a job but it isn't an official job really.. I get paid under the table (in cash). I'm an assistant for this office and I come in whenever I'm free and file papers and miscellaneous tasks for my boss.

Can I include this in my job application or no? Would it hurt my chances of not having any previous jobs? I've done plenty of community service though.

A. Yes, you can put it down as long as the person you put as your contact with that company will vouch for you that you worked there.


When an employment application asks if the can contact employer?
Q. I am currently working but I am seeking a different job. One of the questions on an employment application is if they can contact my current employer. I am not sure how to answer this question. I would say that it is fine to contact my current employer but I will wonder what my employer thinks of me if I want to leave there for another job. I am just trying to better myself but I just wonder if this puts me in jeopardy of losing my current job. When the question asks can they contact my current employer should I say yes or no?

A. Does you employer know that you're unhappy there?

Does your employer know that you're looking for another job?

The previous answer is right in that they may see that as a reason to cut back on your work responsibilities, but in many instances your employer won't care. This depends on the field. Also, it does always look better if you can say yes to that question, as it shows your prospective employer that you have nothing to hide.
