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:

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.

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

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

And Jords now

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!

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.

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

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.

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.
