tommythejambo Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Just get yourself round to local shops etc. That's what I did. Hated my job mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romanov Stole My Pension Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Supermarkets are defo the best option imo. They don't mind 16 year olds and are often really good when it comes to hours, they'll probably be quite happy to give you a couple of nights when you go back to school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Try all the shops in the Gyle and be quick about it. Go to the info desk and ask for the sheet with job vacancies and they will give you about 2 sides of A4. Loads of places will be looking. My work probably are too, (Pizza Hut) although we just took on 2 guys. Few of my mates got jobs at Tesco as said before. Avoid Burger King though or you will be working like a slob.

Moriarty Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 try up the St James centre as well. Plenty of jobs will be going in there as well I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Seeger Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Steven...if I'm not on the till ask for Craig. How are you getting on with your search Steve? I can give you shifts when I'm working in Edinburgh to see if you like it but nothing permanent just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shifts would be decent mate but it would be a bit tricky to work around my work (it varies all the time) I've got a mate putting in a good word at Sharkey so fingers crossed.

If I've got a job through that way I'll give you a shout and if you can make it then great, if not then no worries. I obviously can't offer anything just now with just starting up but I'd be happy to give you experience now and again. Or if your willing to travel through to Stirling for a couple of days your off I'll happily show you the ropes to see if you enjoy it or not.

Give us a shout and even for a couple of day's you can have a go and see if you think it's for you. Just for a bit of experience. I know myself how hard it is to get in the business. People don't realise that. It's not what you know it's who you know. Stick in and you'll get an apprenticeship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
