Apply for Jobs



Start applying for jobs, kids. Earning Snidges is a big part of what we do in Q Zealand, but they don't grow on trees!!! You will be able to earn Snidges by getting a job, by completing work on time, doing your homefun and even starting up your own business.


This is a great chance to practice some parts of being an adult - earning, doing jobs, saving, spending.

You might make some mistakes, but it's better to do it now than when you get into the real world.

Type your job application (see the other post for layout) on a Word document, attach it to an email and send it to me tcurrie@riverdale.school.nz

Success Criteria for writing a persuasive job application letter:
  1. Very few errors in your writing
  2. Use the correct business letter layout
  3. Be persuasive about why you would be good at the job, not why you want it.
  4. Have at least three paragraphs - introduction and what job you'd like, reasons I should consider you for the job and a conclusion

If you want to be a chief anything, apply for the regular job eg if you think you'd make a great Chief Accountant, apply to be an accountant etc.

Go for it.

I think that having jobs like all the grown-ups do like the real business world is an awesome idea, (even though I already know heaps about it).
