I HATE PETSMART

[Mystix212]

In Australia, you can start work at 13 in retail. I've applied at a good LFS near me but havent got a reply in over 2 months, yet go there at least once a fortnight.

In the fish-keeping worl, theres NO such thing as over-qualified. But they probably arent used to people scoring higher than a C on thier tests.

A+ = Over-qualified.

Never even heard of "over-qualified" in the fish world. Beyond perfect no doubt.

16 overqualified
they were either sparing your feelings of having a laugh not sure which

i had a friend that was refused a job as she had worked at a real lfs .

they just need mindless people to brainwash into there way of thinking

Actually...yes you have to be 18 to work at a DC...you must be SEVENTEEN to work at a petsmart store.

the guy chase that refered me turned 16 two months before he started working there, so its 16

rules are easily side stepped for nepotism or family friends.

The higher ups.
I think the age might vary from state to state though. I knew a girl who was hired at a different Petsmart when she was 17 but she had to have a work permit to get hired and wasn't allowed to work more than part-time.

Perhaps it was your lack of spelling skills that kept you from getting the job. They just made up the "over-qualified" part to make you feel better. There is no way in hell that a 16 year old could be over qualified for a job.

BTW, unless things have changed since I worked there, 16 was the age limit; though they were cashiers.

The rule was changed very recently. I work in E. AZ about ten miles from Corporate...please trust me.
