I don't think you can both at once unless there both in the same suburb. Also when you transfer you have to quit your original woolies to go to the new one. I think to transfer you have to ask your store manager for a transfer form.
But if you want to quit altogether i suggests you look for work in a bar or club as there's always vacancies.

You can try my store they always need Nightfillers cause of the high turnover rate.

i used to work at the movies, so i'll tell you my experience. :)

i was very lucky, in that i put in an application on friday (i just walked up to the box office and asked for one) and got called on saturday. i then had an interview, which was the same as you'd get with any job, and i bought a couple of copies of my resume with me (i always do when job hunting anyhow, it shows you're keen and organised). i worked at hoyts broadway, and you didn't need any prior experience [unless you want to work in projection, you have to be 18 and have experience]. they trained us on the job, initially in the candy bar and on 'floor', which involved cleaning + checking cinemas, cleaning toilets (where i worked all that involved was sweeping the floor basicaly), tearing tickets etc. generally once you'd been there 4-5 months they trained you on the box office.so yeah, basically your duties will most likely involve cleaning, tearing tickets, checking cinemas, making queues, making popcorn, selling food etc. nothing too difficult, but it does get stressful when it's reeeeally busy (ie: when matrix reloaded came out). personally im glad i don't work there right now, but it was fun, as far as working goes.

sorry for the novel. ;-p

I used to work at The Glaciarium Ice Skating Rink @ Norwest in skate hire. It was a great job, i'd give out skates for the first 30mins of the session, then stand around and occasionally sweep up things for the next hour, then collect skates in the last 30mins of the sessions. In between sessions i'd fill up the ice cutting machine. Best Bludge Job Ever. Unfortunatley the place is going bust, so they were cutting down on the number of staff per shift and i havent had a shift for 3 months, so i sort of got the message that i wasnt needed anymore... i was getting $10 an hour is basically stand there.

Explains why I nearly found you boring then :p

Do you work full-time/study part-time or Study full-time and work part-time or another arrangement all together?

... wait a minute. You're an Auditor? Don't you need a qualification? When did you finish?
