If i do get a job at the place after work experience, how much do you think i would get. I rekon 7 dollars a hour or something like that.
 
I wasn't allowed to do work experience in the areas I wanted to work in at the time (science, psychology), because they require you to be in uni. So I did one week at a kindergarten (wtf) and another in an accounting department. Not relevant to anything I wanted to do or am doing now, but it was interesting to see how these places worked. At any rate, if you're going to go to uni after you've finished high school, then Year 10/Year 11 work experience really counts for very little - particularly if it's an area where you can't do WE in that field until tertiary level. So, chin up, doesn't really matter that it's not in your field - take the opportunity to observe a business in motion. And FWIW not doing WE in the area I wanted to has not affected me at all - I'm now an honours student in a lab, and going on to start a PhD next year.

They will tend to pay you the absolute minimum - $5 a day (yes, per day). Our school pooled our money and divided it up between us anyway.

EDIT: Oh, you meant if you got a job...well, $7 per hour is pretty stingy, but I've never worked at a supermarket, maybe that's standard...
 
It depends upon where you do your work experience. If you go to a radio station they might give you free cd's and posters and stuff.
 
Do you gusy think they will make me carry heavy boxes, im not the strongest person going around and im rather skinny, what do i say if i dont want to carry any.

Depends, there are all sorts of loopholes for paying work experience students if there is government funding involved in the business, which there may well be in a community radio station. I didn't get any money when I was at a kindergarten for a week. :mad:

They have trolleys for that. But you will still be taking boxes of stuff from out the back to the front. It won't be too heavy though, there'll just be alot of it ie. The individual boxes wont be too heavy, but the amount you'll be taking is a fair bit. You'll probably spent half a day restocking the toilet paper (which is easy and light) and the other half doing other various things. Just hope you don't have to spent too long in the freezer section, its bloody freezing there (funnily enough).

The cans are horrible though, scanning thems a b*tch, and i can only imagine what putting them on the shelves would be like.

As a proper employee of the supermarket i get just short of $14 an hour (I'm 18). Prior to that (17) you get about $11. I think if your 15 you get about $9, so 16 I presume is $10ish. Thats for registrs though, and the other areas may be different (deli might be higher due to the knifes). Night Fill pays the best $22 an hour I think but its shocking hours so I doubt you'd be doing that as a job if you're still at school.

Its an easy job, but broing.
