JOB OPPORTUNITIES: Divide 8 Pizza
Divide 8 Pizza in Stanmore are looking for part time and casual staff, ideally from either Year 9, 10 or 11. Email stanmore@divide8.com.au with your resume and cover letter and let them know that you heard about the job from the Careers Advisor at St Patrick’s College.
They also have an opportunity for a Store Manager and are happy for any Old Boys that have graduated in the last two years to apply. The role involves overseeing the daily operations of the shop, managing both front and back of house duties, and leading a team of about 20 local high school students. They are looking for someone switched on, responsible and organised who can help keep the shifts running smoothly and relate to the staff. It could be a great career builder for a young person to get experience in helping run a business and lead a team while studying at university or taking a gap year - especially with those with interests in business or hospitality management. If you know of anyone that may be a good fit that has recently graduated from St Patrick’s College, please pass on this opportunity.
