Shelving at local library? (1 Viewer)

[chichichip]

Hi all
Just wondering, would anybody know what the chances are of getting a shelving job at a local library? Or if they even accept high schoolers to randomly shelve?
My school is pretty near the library so I guess I would be able to go and work after school.
Hmm.

Anyway, thanks heaps in advance

Good work btw, if you can get it. Fuckin shelve em' hey. Yeah, if there's a vacancy they'll hire anyone, HS is good to go. Not many vacancies.

I would disagree....unless you hate dealing with people that much.
You're not gonna get far with shelving.
Besides, isn't that the librarian's job? If you take over that, then wtf are they gonna be left with?
Best to apply at normal female clothing stores or supermarkets. If not, there's always the last option...fast food.

SHelving is volunteer?? You dont actually get paid, cause thats usually the libraryinans job.

I work as a shelver at my local library and apart from it soundng geeky and being boring, it pays quite well ($16/hr and I work on Sat so $20/hr) which is like double of my friends' pay @cafes/cashiers. And I get really good shifts - weekends when nobody comes in so I just hang around, talk to people and just help them out I think most local, council libraries take in HS students under 18 (cheap labour lol) and they usually hire in the first half of the year so just pop in and ask them - they're actually really nice! Hope that helped

Yeah my friend does it
She gets $15/$16 an hour compared to her other job $9 an hour at a busy cafe haha
She says it's hella easy and she just listens to music while she does it
The only problem is they won't let her take more than one shift a week and a shift is olny 3 hours
But yeah go ask it's a pretty sweet job

My local council advertised shelving positions a few months ago, 2 x 5 hour shifts. The pay looked pretty good too.

Syd Uni was hiring earlier last year, pay was about $25/hr

Hey guys, your replies were awesome.. well some of them anyway lol xD
Anyway, I'm gathering that you just ask one of the librarians and see if they have a job available? I'm guessing that I wouldn't need my resume?

No, a resume is essential for any job you apply for. At the very least, it gives them your contact details.

oh that's awesome!

that's much better pay than tutoring pay that 100 UAIers get...(sort of)

Cool, thanks

sounds like it'd be pretty painful

nah doesnt hurt that much, just awkward

Apparently due to the close proximity of blood vessels, you come up much quicker with shelving.
