When I was her age I just walked into a Saturday job..then another better one..then started a full time job. It was so easy, a brief chat and the job was yours!

I got my first Saturday job in a bakers when I was 13 1/2 and had to have a licence to work and that was only for 4 hours but I did the whole day and was told to say I was there only for 4 if anyone came in form the council. I then went on at aged 16 to get a job for a year in Superdrug in 1986 - long before bar codes and you had to price everything up and then do price changes too etc and the like where the shop was run by 6 Saturday girls and the asst manager on Saturdays and we had to do everything the full time staff would do for £1.81 ah hour :O If your till was more or less than a £1 out 3 times you'd get the boot too.

Good luck to her. Its a relatively rapid interview process with these employers such as McDonalds.

McDonalds have a high rejection rate. But they also have a high re-interview rate.

She will learn of the outcome in a couple of days.

pretty simlar to me. when i was 16 i first got a part time job at mcdonalds.

Went in for an interview with about 5 other people, all of us got the job.
I then worked at tescos while at collage and it was simlar, they had more jobs available than they could get people in for interviews.

Times have changed now, there seems to be alot more people applying for jobs than there used to be.

i think part of the problem is there is not enough skilled workers and too many unskilled.

And of course, companies are not hiring as many people as they used to.
when i worked at Tesco in 1998, they had about 250 employees at the store. And last i hear, they had about 80 last year, and they've increased thier opening hours

Just spoken to #2 son, he says they're taking on more staff at his site too, newly opened, so sorted the wheat from the chaff in the first few weeks. He says they're fairly flexible about time off as shifts vary from week to week, so if you're not available at any particular time, you just tell your manager.
