Default Part Time Work

Hi Guys,

I am 15 well 16 tomorrow and am looking for some part time work.

I would have just put in at Maccas or Wollies but i am only able to work limited times.

I was wondering if anyone knew of someone who had some after school work on a Monday or work on Saturday morning and Sunday all day. I live on the Gold Coast near Robina.

I used to work in my Dad's supermarket for about 5 years (yes i started working young) so i have retail experience.

I am happy to do whatever type of work want to save up for my car.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Jonno

like dan said go around to the small businesses grocery, fruit market, mechs etc .
a mate once got a job back in the day by going into a video store and saying loudly to the bloke at the counter "give me a job", that bloke was the owner and liked my mates initiative offered him a job and he was doing his first shift the next morning.

I wouldnt reccomend working in a coles/woolies, unless you can get a job out the back in stocking.

Definately try maccas. yeah it sounds like bull but i had some awesome times working there, very laid back, very very friendly people and everyone's young and wants to have fun! of course it would be different at every store but maccas people do have quite a lot of fun. pay aint that bad anymore either. You would probably get paid about $10.50-$12 an hour or something like that and the hours are very flexible.

You could try Bunnings if you have a local one. Over here they'll take just about anyone for weekend work and they open to 9pm weeknights so you can get hours there too.

closest ones burleigh and last time i checked they weren't looking :(

i found it very hard to get a job on the coast, got rejected from coles, woolies and maccas, ended up at brumbies in robina only cause of my mate, moral of the story is, its much easier if you know somebody..btw mate most places are really flexible with hours
