Joining Coles

Fast food to Coles

Hey team, I am 16 with 2 years experience in fast food and experience within leadership roles such as team lead and I’ve got a few questions about the job.

First of all, at 16 can you chose to go part time with a minimum contract of 20 hours, or is 15 the max.

Secondly do I have to work in registers/checkout and instead mainly operate within the bakery or deli and also stock shelves?

Next, what are some general duties you may do over the course of a few 5 hour shifts after school?

Finally, does time go slow, fast and does it get really boring? I’m only looking at doing if for 1-2 years until I can get into the ADF.

I am very loyal, hardworking, and reliable if that help in understanding my work ethic.

Just looking for a way out of fast food that I can get 20 hours per week in to cover my expenses and savings.

Cheers guys!
