Re: Easter show

My friend got called today to book an interview for March 17.

Tip: if you really want the job, in the interview say you're available 24/7 even though you're not.

Re: Easter show

20yo gets about $19/hr under the New Concept/Hunter Leisure company.
Different showbag companies hire their own people.

Re: Easter show

I'm 20 and got around 19 or 20 an hour... the conditions werent that bad, but some people couldnt really handle the long shifts (often 12+ hours) where you have to be standing the whole time except in the two half hour breaks. I think it was a great way to earn some quick money but its obviously not for everyone.

Re: Easter show

I worked there this year. Hunter leisure, outside stand. It SUCKS that 17yr old only get $12.60 an hour when they do the same amount of work as the others ( no offence to you older ppl but hey its true!) . Also they screwed up my payslip, short by 8 huors of work that i DID DO! =\

Still i'd work there again next year cos it is a whole chunk of money and i'm on the higher rate next year ^^
