Part-Time jobs! (1 Viewer)

[Keelan134]

I work in fastfood, and because my store is in NSW's Lowest socioeconomic region work is always interesting with all the characters you meet, such as people complaining that their 21 piece bucket has 22 pieces in it, requesting a formal complaint because another customer walked in while they were ordering and the automatic doors let all the cold in, and complaining that their chicken isn't cooked because the meat is white, not red like it should be :/

I don't mind it too much because I enjoy my colleagues, pays decent enough to fund 101 days of backpacking Europe starting in two weeks but yeah always aim for Aldi, seated, no bagging, and no smiles=easy munee

Most Christmas Jobs open at the end of this month. So employees will post things late this month

At the end of this month. Like early November/Mid November.

From experience, it goes quick. Posting will go early November, say 7th, you will get a interview for the 15th, you will start on the 21th

Websites/instore

During early-mid November go to a store and ask. They won't bother between now and then because it is early for christmas causals

anything other than maccas

There's a common misconception about Maccas...although I've never worked there, the training provided by McDonald's is well regarded. My manager at Coles told me about how it's considered as an advantage. Lucky me, I didn't start out in fast food, but many people do and there's nothing wrong with it. A job is a job, pay is pay. I'd actually work at maccas, even now...beats having no source of income.

Anywhere that has awards are a good place to started. Luckily, I landed myself a job as a pharmacy assistant in Canberra (although I'm from Wollongong) for next year if I hopefully get into Combined Law at ANU. It's starting salary is higher than minimum wage because of the award scheme. So maybe if you have options where you're from, go the the Fair Work Australia website and find something with awards so you can start with a higher hourly pay

the pay actually almost matches other retail stores, but I guess that depends on which mcdonald's you work at. and if you work on the register, it's a pretty easy job

I have friends who work there so I'm not saying its bad, but if you are like 18/19, its much better to work somewhere else in terms of pay. I got into kings cross Mcdonalds btw. did the intro and everything with the manager, but then didn't go lol.

would prefer working at K-mart/coles

And yes, my friend said the training and mcdonalds helped with his uni choices or something.

False, under <18 earn up to $11, where $8.XX is the minimum, I have a friend who earnt $8.XX an hour, how horrible.

 

[DefiningTheta]

I heard places like Dicksmith, JBHIFI, Good guys, etc are very good in terms of pay and the extras, however, they're hard to get in.

well, like I said, it depends on which one you work at. there's one that pays up to $15 for <18

 

[McLovinFanboy]

WHen is it best to apply? Early december, or is that too late?

 

[Bored_of_HSC]

Already got job at a pizza place, so dishwashing, pizza making and barista skills w00t.

When I move to uni, I'd prob look for a cafe, bar (planning to get RSA), bookstore or retail (ALDI would be the best check out check cause you can sit down lol).

:O Used to work at dominos. So many bad stories lol...

I'm gonna apply for many jokbs. Currently considering: A data enterer, factory worker (uncles) or maybe just retail. Will tutor after results come out but.
