hey my names Chris Petzke and im 18 years old studying an advanced dimploma of justice. I currently only have 2 days a week of school (Thursday,Friday),and i wish to have a job and some sort of income. Therefore the car is not getting the full makeover it deserves.

I applaud you for taking some initiative and looking for work; however, you might want to try and put a little more effort into it - starting with grammar and spelling. Every little bit helps.

There are better channels to look for casual work if you haven't already done so. The local newspaper usually has loads of work for labourers, factory workers, and so on. Although I've found the best option is to join different recruiting agencies in your local area. More often than not they have plenty of employment available and will send you to different businesses - whether it's for a day, a week, or a few months at a time. It's also a good way to get your foot in the door and gain a broad range of experience in different industries.

The other option is to work in supermarkets (particularly night-fill) as the money is decent plus you have the benefit of working in a safe and clean environment.

Good luck with your search.

well im oging to say this because this is what i did
get a job in a bar start as a glassy and work your way to a bartender
averaging 20 an hour plus if ur good u will get given more shifts plus a lot of tips
the only issues are letting working take over your studies
again something i did and turned out to be so stressful i had to cut down shifts but yeah if you can work the long hours and stay on top of your assignments ur set

[petzke]

Thanks for the advice everyone. I have been trying in papers and the local supermarkets for a while now. It seems the new way is online applications so I am spending a lot of time on that at the moment. I think its time to expand my seeking methods. Thought i may as well give it a try on here. I really need something to pay for 2 hours a day driving and living expenses.
Thankyou to everyone for ther imput

Well Dont!

Try the old ways, the ways that everyone else these days have given up on, or never knew, or cant be bothered with cause it's too hard.
Employers are flooded with emails with attached resumes constantly these days, how is your one going to stand out from the crowd?......"it isn't!"

Get yourself dressed up looking your absolute best, arm yourself with well written, clear, concise and well presented Resume's and hit the streets in your local area targetting businesses you could see yourself working for.

Nobody can see who you really are as a person from an attached Resume in some email, first impressions count for one heck of a lot, if a potential employer can actually see you in the flesh, face to face and can see that you are making a genuine positive approach to attaining satisfactory employment, doors will open.

Good Luck with it all Chris, I wish you all the best.

st.kila street, the place to be... i mean you can always go to tafe and to a course there, or go to your closes unemployment place, i am going to start doing my securty guard course soon... once i get transport; ie motorbike on the road.

my brother is with "skilled" he apparently getting "800 bucks a week" and sometimes 4 days on, 4 days off... working in laverton at a chem factory or some crap.

Rob, unfortunately it's not that easy. I tried doing that recently, and I constantly got the same answer: "Thanks for applying, however all applications are now down online." Of course, not every business is the same, but a majority are steering towards this direction.

Fortunately it's not hard to get an interview after that step... It's competing against the other hundreds of applicants that makes it hard!

[petzke]
