Can a 14 year old girl in New Zealand get a proper job?

Answer 1

some people say you can't but you can if you really search around (depending on what area in NZ you live in). I know that AMF Bowling which has two centres in Auckland and Christchurch hires 14 year olds and over, most pet shops also hire 14 year olds, or you could even try the movies their minimum age is usually around 14/15. You could also try random stores around your area for example a gourmet shop, i applied for one of those stores when i was 14 and got the job, or after school care programmes often need help, a friend of mine is 14 and she has a job there and gets paid $80 a week for only 4 1/2 hours a week, which is pretty good for a young teen. Hope this helps, since it breaks all the myths of 14 year olds not being able to get jobs in NZ, because you can :)
