Full-time job for 17 yo

DamienH

Hey, I'm just wondering if anyone knows anywhere thats hiring in cork. I'm 17 and finished school. I have a job at the moment but I'm not getting enough hours ( 20 a week ) I'd be looking for about 40ish. Thanks

tech

what kinda work you looking for

PowerHouseDan

Try Rci....As much Hours as you want. Savage pay....

DamienH

Yah went to RCI but I didn't like that kinda stuff. I had to sell timeshare holidays to people over the phone. I'd be up for pretty much anything. I work in a bar now so talking to people is no problem, anythings that pays me remotly well 300+/week.

PowerHouseDan

I well i actually work in a Different Part of Rci Its a Company within Rci... I wouldnt do outbound calling either selling time shares......I dont think we are lookin for staff anyway... Sorry

DamienH

I suppose I could always try apple or siemens, they're always good for a job aren't they?

Fysh

There's usually something going in Siemens, tho the money may or may not be great depending on the opening. I'll have a sconce around tomorrow and let you know what's going...

DamienH

Thanks a lot that would be great. i'm used to getting 7.65 and hour. It can only be the same or better

Aspiration

Try secuity companies- apparently the pay is sweet.

DamienH

but for a seventeen year old?

You could try Abtran (another call centre type environment) but you would have to submit your CV to cork@lacreme.ie first as they only deal w/ CV's who have been met by a consultant from La Creme.

Aspiration

Yeah, I know a guy who started working part time for a security company when he was 17, he's still with them at the moment. You should call a few around for application forms and ask them how old do they take people on at. You'd probably be more suited to retail than industrial estates, but it's still at bout EUR10 an hour apparently so that's fantastic?!

dave1982

pay is 7.85ish vary between them mcm are easiest to get into try um i was 18ish when i started was with expess boss a langer group 4 dont pay overtime they give ya extra hours but pay flat rate for it mcm would be best bosses are sound sites ok but do industrial shops are acunt too much hassle get industrial relax watch tv sleep wa ever but dont get caught watch out for guy called mick collier proper **** sneaky parks van away from site sneaks up on ya apart from him its cushy

Aspiration

I know one of the lads working for MCM and seeing as he's doin Industrial, he's all over the gaff- works from Midleton to Carrigaline to Ballincollig. This is obviously very cushy, if you have the means to get to and from work, but goin all over the place would wreck my head. Another guy is doin Retail, and yeah- not as cushy, but he's getting EUR10 an hour. On the down side, he was walking all over Wilton Shopping Centre for hours on a Saturday...

DamienH

Era sure I could do with an owl walk once in a while. I'll definatly give a ring around so. There's a security crowd ( sheehan ) working in the bar I'm in now. Might ask him

dave1982

sheehans very hard to get into gaff run by retired guards

DamienH

I was talking to the fella who does the security in the pub and he said that if he gives me a recommendation ( i'm pretty friendly with him ) I should get in alright no problem. So I think i'll try that

my best friend works for abtran and hates it with a passion, have to spend all day dealing w. idiots on the phone

DamienH

Yah tbh I wouldn't like a call center at all. Too much hassle. Security would be grand, nice and easy. I'm gonna try siemans as well. For IT support.

Aspiration

Apple as well- I know a girl who used to work in the IT Support there. I think she said it was on the northside somewhere.

DamienH

Apple said they can only give me contract work for 3 weeks at a time. So it's a last resort

Aspiration

You should try companies like Boston Scientific and Pfizers. I know it's factory work, but it's a job.

Sorry, i'm just throwing suggestions at ya!

DamienH

ohh yah I never thought of them. I don't care what I'm doing tbh just not call centre. There's always labouring

I'd say that's more than likely, god knows, I wouldn't want to work a call-centre because in truth they're ALL the same!
However, for someone who's 17, the easiest place to find work is that kind of environment, helps to build experience though!

other jobs for the underage usually involve restaurants and supermarkets. stuck in teh services industry. some places are grand though, spent 4 and half yers in mcdonalds and it was grand. one year on in tescos adn the place sucks ass, the checkout manager is a thundering bitch
