Hello
I'm currently in high school and because I've pretty much finished all my extra-curriculars from last year I figured I may as well spend my extra after school and weekend time having a job. Also, I'm getting a car in February (provided I pass my Ps test lol) so this would mean that I could work even on the days that both my parents are working and unable to drive me. Soooo I basically had a few questions:
1. When is the best time to apply for a job? I'm hoping that there are actually people out there who only work for the December holidays and then quit once school starts, so I can apply in vacancies that open up soon.
2. Seeing as I've never had a job before (but have had work experience for a total of 3 weeks [yup, I know, impressive]) and am really diligent and organised and all the other yadeeda employers are (hopefully) looking for, what are the chances of me working anywhere other than fast food?
3. Are there any places that have no problem hiring someone with the above "qualifications" (or should I say lack of), like Kmart or somewhere? I live in the Hills area (NSW) if this helps, so places like specific Castle Towers stores are definitely open for suggestion.
Thank you!
EDIT:
4. Also, would having my own car, i.e. being able to drive myself to and from, and being able to work more days/often, improve my chances of getting a job? Thanks!
