Kinda Programming Kinda Buisness? [Help]

[TheGrim123321]

   Let me prefix this by saying that I live in a small agricultural town.

 

A company that develops software for business opened up in my town. I'm 15 is it possible for me to get a job there? Should I just call and ask them? What languages should I make sure I know? Please help.

 

//Sorry if in wrong thread, please move if it is.

First of all do you have any programming experience? Simple meaningless programs don't count. Don't waste their time if you have none.

 

Look at what the job description is, It should list required languages.

I have, also they didn't list any requirements just that they were hiring programmers.

Give them a call then. Depending the type of application developed there may be a mix of languages. C++ and/or C# would be a good guess.

It's probably C# or Java. Could you please link the job ad?

It's only possible if you try.

Yes.

There's no way we could know what that company wants. Ask them or look at their job listing if they have one.

Thanks for the help

Call them, write them a letter or visit them. Explain your situation honestly & ask if they might have any lower wage but with training on the job types of roles. You might find this will benefit you both in the future & might be a route they've not earlier considered.

Tech knowledge aside, I'd go over your local laws to see, wheter or not (and if, then for how long per day) you are even allowed to work at age 15. For example, in Estonia we have restrictions like this:

 

7-12yrs: 3 hrs per day (15 hrs per week)

13-14: 4 hrs per day (20 hrs per week)

15: 6 hrs per day (30 hrs per week)

16 -17 7 hrs per day (35 hrs per week)

 

Alongside a crapton of restrictions on what you CAN and CAN'T work in, and at what times you can work. I'd assume wherever you live, you'll problably have laws like these aswell.
