Finding a job

[Jeffa]

I've tried them, they don't work!

You are probaly using the wrong hand.

Do any of you family or friends have businesses or anything?

When I moved to my current school the headmaster's son owned a wildlife park, so through him I got to start volunteering there. After a few months I got paid during the summer cruise ship season. Even if you start off volunteering, keep at it and always help in any way you can.

Im job hunting too!

There's a huge job shortage in Tassie I know people who have tried to get a job for a year, maybe things are differrent up your way

You need a bright spark, a long wait and a sky hook to find all these.

gave my resume out to about 10 places it looks like i might have a spot in a bakery because its expanding and its just a 5 min walk away so would be the perfect job! Fingers crossed for me!

If you are half as motivated with starting a thread about finding a job and keeping it a few pages long then you should have no trouble keeping the job once hired. Work hard and show initiative and you will be easilly employed. Good luck.

I was struggling to find a job march last year here in Melbourne, there are tough times just have to keep at it as it does pick up.

For anyone trying to find work... best thing I found is get yourself on 'labour hire' or 'job agencies' lists and just keep trying to find more to have your name on their list and bug them every Monday morning minimum (there office's start a new week every week and you need to refresh their memory on the fact they have people looking for work), and they can contact you when you least expect it, I still get the odd contact from one back in Perth after telling them I've moved interstate over a year ago.
