Employment post examinations


Dear Year 12’s

Quite a few of you have talked to me about wanting to get employment after exams.  But you also realise without previous experience and training it may not be easy to find a job in sales and customer service. It is a very competitive market out there. You will be going into a flooded market of school leavers seeking work.

What will help you bridge the gap and make you stand out to the employers?  Training and experience!

I have met Peter who runs the HG Coffee School here at Kent Town and he is willing, at short notice, to run a 6 hour session before your exams covering:

·         Introduction to coffee making including understanding and appreciating coffee (lattes, flat whites, cappuccinos, etc)
·         What is excellent customer service
·         What makes a sales person GREAT
·         How to get THAT job

When:                  On Saturday 20th October from 10 until 4:30 PM
Where:                 86 North Terrace, Kent Town
Cost:                      $155.00

Numbers are strictly limited so that everyone gets some hands-on coffee making experience.

Please note that this course will not make you an accredited barista or make you the best sales person. 6 hours is just not enough.  BUT it will educate you, give you some hands-on experience and hopefully enhance your employment chances.  And it will look good on your resume.  This is a GREAT starting point for those of you who haven’t had training or enough exposure.  Peter owns 9 cafes around Adelaide and is always looking to hire too.

YOU Year 12s are my first priority.  Get in first.  If there are still spaces left, I’ll offer this to Year 11s and 10s as well.

Please let me know as soon as possibly if you are interested in this and I’ll hold a place for you.  First come, first serve!

Remember I can help with awesome resumes and cover letters too!
