As a 15 year old who had been looking and applying for a jobs two months before I turned 14 last year. I am not sure of what to do. Whenever I apply I never get a reply back,I get rejected, I don’t have enough experience or I’m not old enough. But my question is how am I supposed to get experience if no one will hire me?

You are underage. Unless it's a family business, hiring minors comes with a lot of legal restrictions and liability, so many employers prefer someone older. Sorry, but that's just how it is.

Try a local staffing agency. They may know about opportunities that are open to younger applicants.

Hey, I’ve been there. It is partially because of your age. If you have experience volunteering with kids (camp counseling & tutoring is what I did), it does help! Also, job postings on places like Instagram, nextdoor, and Craigslist will likely take you farther than Indeed/Glassdoor (but it’s still a good resource for seeing what working somewhere is like & it’s always worth applying there as well). Leveraging connections if you can (family, friends) helps you get on your feet. best of luck!

Dubai people I live in Marquise Square tower and my neighbor is having a party literally every day till 4-5 in the morning- I spoke to him and he apologized and promised to keep it quiet but he didn’t. So I spoke to the security if they can tell them to calm down and the security said that he can’t do anything as it’s the weekend! Is that normal or should they give me a noise compliance and force him to stay quiet after some time.
