Most tertiary institutions have career services. They
always advertise
job vacancies, help their students to find work and give information
on writing applications and approved payment rates. Employment centres at institutions advertise a range of jobs. You can also find
work through newspaper advertisements, an employment agency or the
government's national employment service, Job Network. Find links to
these right here on this website
 All types of work
The majority of casual work undertaken in Australia is in
the retail and hospitality industries (cafes, restaurants
and bar). Typical
part-time jobs for students include: shop assistant, department
store staff, bartender, kitchen hand, waiter/waitress, cleaner,
clerical assistant, and supermarket or cinema staff. Some
international students work as translators.
Holiday jobs
While during semester you are limited by course times, in the
holidays you can work full-time. Exciting holiday jobs exist for
international students who are not going home for the mid-year
holidays and need to earn some money.
Many jobs become available in tourism for example, in beach or ski
resorts. You can get a job as a nanny or assistant at a school
holiday program, tutor school students or at places like fun parks,
zoos, museums and theme parks.
You could pick your way through rural Australia - it's a great way
to travel even if it is hard work! Pick apples in New South Wales
and Tasmania, bananas in northern New South Wales and Western
Australia, mangoes in the Northern Territory and Queensland, grapes
and tomatoes in South Australia and Victoria, and cherries and
berries in Tasmania.

but also the social experience of making a living. It is also
relevant to my business studies".
