Right hi! I'm 15 and I'm really looking for a part time job. I heard most places are taking on christmas work.. I really have no idea where to go though? I was thinking of working in Game but not sure if they would take on a 15 year old?
Really stuck here, would appreciate some help - thanks :)
18 to work in Game. 16 to work in all shops which don't have their own 18 year old policy. Paper round it is for you.
Try Argos
Jesus that sucks. Stuff paper round lmao.
supermarkets
16 or 18Quote:

Working in a restaurant or a pub is allowed for your age. You could be a waitor, or a kitchen assistant (dishwasher) or something.
Thats what I did!
Yup. Unless the law or store policy have changed over the last two years, GAME do not employ people who are under the age of 18. When I was under 18, I phoned a number of GAME branches and they all gave the same response.Quote:

Then they have changed their policy.Quote:

Yeah you don't authorise it anymore, you just can't sell it according to the VSC.
