sold job at anaconda or bcf !

[Lachie]

hi i am wondering what age i would have to be to get a job somewhere like bcf or anaconda i am nearly 14 yrs old,i am looking for part time casual work maybe like 1or 2 nights per week and sundays maybe !

if anyone can supply me withthe minimum age to work at one of these places it would be greatly appreciated

[Surfingant]

Back when I was in retail it was 14 and 3 months

Best to look at places like big w, kmart, night fill jobs, They are pretty good jobs and for your age if its legal, you will get what ever shift you want.

Just a fyi and don't want to offend you mate, but don't go working for bcf or anaconda, the reason why I say this is because me personaly, i don't listen to sales person that looks under a certain age, even tho you probley know so much more then I do and thats not hard, but its the look of inexperiance.

As I said , go retail but not in a client consulting role.

to get a job at BCF or Anaconda will wil need to have no knowledge on fishing.

I don't know what the age is but mate if want a job at BCF go for it.

You will learn heaps about retail and in a field you like.

If old blokes don't listen to you so what.

I agree totally, you are young and will learn quickly. The best advice I can give you is to do your best sponge impression Learn the product, talk to other staff members and customers alike and take everything in. You are already off to a good start by looking at places in a field you are interested in, if I started out that way I would probably still be in retail.

Go BCF just for the 10% staff discount!

What about youngy?

[bootyinblue]

It doesn't matter where he picks his first job up at, the kid is looking and planning and is to be applauded for that alone.

[Jufish]

I think it's about 14 and a half that you're allowed to go find work. There should be a few good christmas casual positions out about this time of year.

good luck and don't let anyone deter you!

very mislead!! 25% it is! only reason i stayed there for 2 and a half years

on the age thing, when i started working it was 14 and 9 months, if this is still the case look at bcf about october next year when they start hiring christmas casuals, you will learn a wealth of information as i did

[RUSSIAN]

I was told by one of the BCF staff members that you have to be 16 to work there. Not sure about Anaconda...

Good Luck

Lachie, unfortunately the Christmas casual positions at BCf have all been filled in around October, but go online and put your name down for a future position, this is what i did 4 years ago when i wanted a change.

I am not going to get into the what stores best and who knows what, i think in our store we have someone to help you wheather you want to catch Marlin of Garfish and everything in between.

Unfortunately on busy days we sometimes can't spend as much time with customers as we would like but if you want help with something try and come in during the week when it is not as busy.

Still remember a couple of years ago going in to a so called specialist fishing store and being told i wouldn't catch fish unless i used braid that was worth $60, was all i could do to stop laughing.

Personally for me i love working there, we have some terrific customers some of whom have become good fishing mates, cheers wayne

[Keen-as-fisho]

You could probably get a job making some of the gear OS :whistle:

[Guest]

hope you find the job your looking for mate.

[tiotony]

Good on ya mate and hope you pick something up. I wanted the same kind of part time job when I was 14 but couldn't land one. Used to get some good coin though working in factories on school holidays- back then (mid 1980's) you had to be 15, dunno about now.

[tomca]

company policies aside, you can work if you are under 14 with some restrictions, like not more than 10 hours a week or after 9pm, from memory, but the powers that be change rules every second day so try this:

Hey @Jayden Morgan

According to this website, it is thirteen. Though I think you will find BCF will only employ you at a later age. You could always apply for a job and hope you get employed. Good luck.
