AIBU to think a travel adviser role is unsuitable at 16?

[thecuriouscat]

Hi all,
My DD (16) has recently completed her GCSEs and left school. She’s been desperate over the summer to get a part time job which I’ve supported her in, getting her to give her CV to local businesses and unfortunately not many callbacks. So she’s been looking online and applied for quite a few roles.

Today she came down and told us that she has a phone interview lined up for a Tui travel advisor. Needless to say we were unconvinced, because in what world would you trust a 16 year old to book holidays?? She said that they are accepting school leavers and it’s a part time role, but I still find it hard to believe. I told her to withdraw her application, but alas she won’t listen and she’s now in a strop with me and DH. So AIBU? I don’t think this role would be appropriate for her at her age, and TBH I’m surprised they offered to call back.

Be encouraging bu apply a bit of due diligence here, as could be a potential scam.

Also, she doesn't have her GCSE results yet, and don't you need to stay in education until 18 these days?

Is this a summer job until she goes to college or 6th form in September?

Oh dear. I know you didn't hear what you wanted to hear and won't be back. Your poor daughter. You sound so ignorant and uncaring.
