<p>I am an Avon sales representative for 4 years. I have the papers on my mother’s name because officially you have to be 18 in order to do that. A lot of people know many teenage girls do it often and I doubt I’m breaking any law. However, I’ll soon be 18 and I hope to get the papers on my name. It’s not a part-time job, I don’t have any imposed program, I only have to convince people to buy their products and my “salary” is a percentile of the orderings I make. Does this count as a job? And should I write I’ve been doing this since my freshman year or just in my senior, when I’ll have the papers on my name?</p>
<p>I don’t see why it would hurt to write that you’re an Avon Sales Rep. It’s not like the college admission officers will research whether you were working for Avon legitimately. I had a similar situation to yours – I was working as a political street campaigner (under 18 years old). Don’t worry over it! :)</p>
<p>It sounds like a job.</p>
<p>Of course, it’s a job. As long as you’re really the one selling things, you are working a job.</p>
<p>My sister did just what you did, putting it in my mother’s name and whatnot.</p>
<p>I’d say it qualifies as a job.</p>
<p>Just say you were an independent sales rep for your mom’s business until you were legally able to take it over during your senior year. shows progress and determination. definitely a job, either way.</p>
