why do u have to apply from them, just go to retail places locally that are close to you that you know about and figure out quickly how to apply for each one

thats a lot of effort going to each one without even knowing what type of work they want also more likely to get rejected when asking

not really, esp the big chains like Kmart and that you just do an online application which doesn’t take very long at all. you don’t have to go to them in person, though it’s better to go in person for smaller stores

hey, I was the same at 14! It's actually quite easy to get a job at say, fast food places, you won't fail to get hired. Especially if you want to work for just the holidays, it's a good choice! I only have one thing to say, which I hate negativity, but at your age, you are incredibly cheap to hire, so you should be wary of overworking especially in your first job, many people have been exploited because they don't know their working rights, myself included. You really should be okay though! I wish you best of luck
p.s. get a casual position, never part time.. otherwise you'll be paid like.. $4 per hour casual loading>>>

I worked at maccas through all of year 12 pretty much, worked 6-2pm Saturday and Sunday
Didn’t mind it, got paid like $12.75 an hour or something
I sometimes miss working in the cafe there, learnt to make a bomb ass coffee and like the sheer immediate situational stress of the busyness of maccas really distracted from home life stress (both of those outweighed hsc stress)
I have dreams about working at McDonald’s still

Go for the worst entry level jobs possible (Maccas/KFC/Woolies/Coles/etc) and keep it for as many years as is possible.

The pay per hour is quite good for unskilled labor and a lot of real-world employers, for some weird reason, hate kids who never had jobs when they were at school/tafe/uni.

shows how tutors and uni teachers actually have very minimal understanding of what employers want
if you wanted them to succeed you would say to intern at a business relevantly
