Gilly G. Ossenfeffer Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 My daughter, 18 in March, is keen to do part-time work to start saving for studying an international relations/politics degree in university in September. She is happy to consider waitressing, shop or pub .,work, general assistance etc and would be able to work after school on Friday and Saturday, or perhaps Sunday. Has previous experience of office work and is multilingual. Lives in central Douglas. Please PM me with any thoughts/suggestions/offers of work! Thank you.

im_new_to_this Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Your daughter will thank you for this, much?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilly G. Ossenfeffer Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Your daughter will thank you for this, much?! Eh? She has asked me to put this notice in for her. I have had some really positive replies from MF members in the past when asking for help so she thought it was worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addie Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Multilingual? Ring up the tourist board, airport, steam packet and MHK responsible for all these. They all certainly could do with the help. Edited for butterfingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all certainly could do with the help. Edited for butterfingers Thanks, Addie. Good idea but I'm inclined to think they would want people who would be able to work longer hours than she could. Still, that might not be the case and will look into this. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpUp Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 lol i trounced local shops when i was 13 looking for a job (late 90's) and got my first job when i turned 14. your daughter would have much more success by approaching this herself rather than through her mother.

Gilly G. Ossenfeffer Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Good for you. No she wouldn't. She is not looking for her first job at 14 but a part time job in a very different job market from the one in the 90s. But thank you for your fascinating insight.

JumpUp Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 ok maybe i approached this the wrong way. your daughter needs work at specific times i.e evenings, weekends etc. so go to (or call) the specific businesses that operate in these hours, ask to speak to the manager and enquire directly. good luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Noticed in the paper or somewhere recently that Pets at Home are looking for part time weekend staff. Might be worth her checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domino Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Silly you. Just ask one of the outfits that deal with international relations/politics. Must be lots of them about looking for youngsters with such aspirations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 is multilingual. Noticed in the paper or somewhere recently that Pets at Home are looking for part time weekend staff. Might be worth her checking it out. Dr Doolittle? Has she perhaps considered the STEP programme? - government run it in summer for University people (going to or on holiday from University I believe). Paid internship for the summer months. They have just advertised for applicants. Get the money together all at once over the summer - and maybe pick up some useful background for her proposed degree?

My daughter is in the same situation (going to uni in september hopefully, and also wanting to study the same subject) - I've just had a look at the STEP page on gov.im and it only seems to be for second year or penultimate year undergraduates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
