How to get a Job

If you're not yet 18 years old, you need a work permit before you start working. You can get summer work permits from the LAUSD Work Experience office. Their number is (213) 241-0878. They are located on the 18th Floor of the LAUSD Beaudry Building (downtown at 3rd and Beaudry). You'll need to bring a photo ID, a copy of your birth certificate, and a work permit request form signed by your parent and your work supervisor!

You can also ask Mr.Ramos in room 304 for a work permit! Make sure you do this as soon as you receive a job offer!
