1. mobile phone companys will take you, and no consent needed, well not in uk anyways
2. My son works at People Support and has recently been promoted assistant trainor. I believe that you have to be a college graduate or a college undergraduate to apply for a job there. Since 17 is obviously a college freshman, then, you cannot apply. Do not be impatient, you're still young. If you think that being employed is more important at this point in your young life, maybe it will help you pass the time away by taking up a 2-year course or, getting yourself up to Junior College while waiting for the opportunity to be able to apply at a call center of your choice. The other requirement is for you to be proficient in the English language. Good luck!
3. simple, lie about your age.
4. I don't really have an idea about your age. Why not just wait for yourself to turn 18? I think call centers have to be very strict when it comes to age. They don't want you to hide somewhere when they are visited by any employment agency and I think you will hardly be given benefits if given a chance to work for them 'cause again, you're still underage.
5. Ok. I'l help my baby out. First is to browse for call centers (best if located somewhere at the City as what I'm telling you. Well, for convenient transportation). List those call centers then contact each one and ask for information as to what they need for qualification aside from the resume stuffs. There must be at least 2 out of 10% of those Call centers that will be making exceptions if you really qualify their standard . You're already aware too that it's not just of the age, it's 85% more on the capacity and special ability. If they want a consent, try getting on to this link www.cabq.gov/biopark/common/pdf/07TPTeen.pdf (it's a PFD file, try if your system can read it) or http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_enUS244US244&q=format+parents+consent&btnG=Search (click on related links there. The files open with MS Word) They usually come in different formats depending on the kind of job you are applying for. Just be patient & don't be expecting too much. You have no loss if you can't get into the establishment that you want. Whatever it is that you've learned at Lead Career is still a big help that you can carry with you wherever you go. You're still too young for big companies there and that you know exactly how strict the Philippines is when it comes to underage job applicants. You'll soon find one & you're soon coming in the US too. Besides, what's the rush? P.S Don't ever attempt lying about your age. That 's for desperate cheaters. I love you and good luck. I'm always here you can approach me.
6. hey many call center's dont accept minors. like in sykes you need to be 20 to be accepted. maybe in mobile
