What jobs could I get?

Question

I'm 14 years old, i live in melbourne. I was just wondering what kind of jobs could i get at my age? and also where could i find these?

Answer 1

all the major chains mention usely do not hire people under 15yrs due to the fact they have to pay you 15yrs pay rate and condition placed on employer. You are best start applying everywhere in your local shopping centre ask to see the store manager or manager on duty Coles and woolies you do it online. Make sure you are not wearing school clothes or skate wear. Remember that they are look at you to serve customers. Good luck do not get discouraged

Answer 2

A paper round would be a good start. Ask your mum and dad to help you find a local news agent and ask them if they have any vacancies.

Good luck.

Answer 3

Coles, Woolworths, IGA, K-mart, Target, Big W, The Warehouse - any places like that - they love hiring young workers. Casual/part time after school and weekend work.

Any fast food places, McDonalds, KFC etc - they all take on casual staff.

Smaller takeaway shops, like Pizza, Pasta etc... they are always taking on delivery persons and need kitchen hands....

- Most of the places above you apply online on their websites, look for a link 'careers' or 'employment'.  You fill in what area you want to work etc, and they will email you jobs coming up, you can pick and choose, if you accept they will call you in for an interview.
