When is the best time to get a part time job? (1 Viewer)

[Misturi]

I am starting year 12 this year and l owuld like to start work after the hsc as soon as possible. I was thinking of applying for places during the hsc exams?

What should l do and what would be best?

Firstly, if your in year 12, you should get a casual job, not part time
I think most places are recruiting late Feb or early March...
Working during HSC and Trial exams is no good
And getting a job at Big W or K Mart or whatever is a good idea...

I don't want to start work right now, l mean after the hsc for next year.

You might get lucky because some stores have christmas recruitment, but out where I live at least it is near impossible top get a job then.... but don't sacrifice your HSC for the sake of a job....

Do you know anyone that owns a business? You could ask them...

 

[Misturi]

Well my cousin is working for a business and offered a job to my friend, but she said you have to be over 18...which l won't be, but its all computer work, which l think l'll be good at.

The best way to secure a job for after HSC is to go through the ColesMyer (Kmart & Grace Bros) xmas casual recruitment which in done online in about July. The process takes a few months, but you'll have a job waiting for you after the HSC

If your hot, go apply at a nightclub.

 

[Misturi]

Thanks Ms12, l might look into that

And no l odn't think l'll apply to go for a nightclub..thanks anyways.

Yup try the coles myer one coz they hire quite a lot of people for christmas.
Other stores do the same, but usually not quite so early. Try around Sept or so? Another thing to keep in mind is that alot of places will not hire you if you are going away at all, whether its for schoolies or family holiday etc. So that makes things a little difficult...

 

[cro_angel]

yes be available like every day

 

[iambored]

if your not available almost every day they will not consider you seriously

 

[Misturi]

Oh l am not planning to go to schoolies or on holidays. The only yhing l'll be going which is worthwhile is Christmas Day

I am getting back from overseas on the 29th March, so I am wondering when would be the best time to apply for a job. Do you think places like David Jones start recruiting in May or June for the Mid-year sales and Christmas? Anyway if anyone knows, thanks

 

[iambored]

for christmas casuals, you have to apply by sep/oct or you will miss out. i don;t know about mid year sales

 

[choco]

yeah i really need a job anyone know any places around macquarie center or somewhere laike that that are hiring?

 

[iambored]

i think this is a slow season, i think most places hire for christmas

 

[Sujeet]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahah ahahahahah ahahahahahaha

 

[iambored]

and you're laughing because?

 

[choco]

yeah why?

They generally don't hire specifically for mid-year sales, your best bet is to go through the xmas casual recruitment where u start work from bout October
