To sign up for a paper route it is best to contact a paper shop directly. It is likely to be your first job so it is unlikely you will have any previous work experience therefore you will need to show you are keen and hardworking. Paper shops often have signs in the window of the shop when a paper route vacancy is available but if there is not a sign, simply go in and ask to speak to the manager or the person in charge. Explain that you would like to do a paper route and that you are self-motivated, reliable and hard working.
If there are no positions available at the time, ask the shop manager to write down your name and telephone number in case a vacancy arises in the future. Do not be afraid to return to the shop in a couple of weeks or months and ask again. The shop manager will appreciate your willingness and realize that you are eager for the job.
Shop managers are extremely busy people so it will help if you are familiar with them so they remember you when a vacancy does arise. Visit the shop regularly to purchase things and remember to be friendly and polite as this could be your future employer.
