i was an other.. ?..
Burger king.. i asked for an application form
Hungry Jacks .. i got because of a friend of mine and my sister were crew trainers and they need another.. plus it was closer to home..

Grace bros. & Myers ... i was a xmas casual.. then got put onto part timer.. perks are staff card and commission at certain depts of certain stores..

Coles.. i got thru a reference and i had siblings who work there too.. and are friends of the boss..

cold canvassing.. blows hard..
and u need experience to start.. right place right time and contacts..

I only went around with my resume before but when I also wrote a cover letter, that is when I finally could a job!!!!

Did the internet thing for colesmyer xmas casual (luckily when it was just new and not as popular as it is now, so it didn't take very long at all).

 

[Katie123]

i went to an employment agency for both of my jobs, it saved chasing up individual businesses because i wasn't too fussy where i worked - first best + less and then the cherry factory. woohoo!! oh yeah, i had my very brief resume handy when i went

I wasn't bothered to go through the whole ColesMyer/woolies online saga. Some places where I asked got my to fill in application forms (KFC, Chickadee chicken etc.)

I've always just trawled around the shops, resumes in hand, and asked if there were any positions vacant... so far it's got me jobs at:

- Small family pharmacy
- Best & Less
- Oporto

They usually asked while I was there if I could come back for an 'interview' (Oporto did this by phone) but they were really just formalities (What hours can you work? When can you start? You'll need black trousers and a white shirt...)

wow... where can u find an employment agency and how much are they?

Personally I think it is a waste of money to use an employment agency - especially if they are only going to get you a job at best n less.

[piccaninny]

my bestie told me to email right person at right time. i so sent resume and cover letter, i got job next week.

 

[bloodysunday]

only job i've had was through letter and cv, but more recently i've been applying through websites and the latest interview i went to was through internet and an app form, but i also handed in my cv just in case.

ooh, 400 posts

 

[Dingo2004]

i fax dem resume so they can see it straight away
or email
they will call me back if they want to interview

that way it makes it sound like they want u
if u call them to apply it will sound like u want them
no wat ijm saying?
hahahaha

 

[!! CaR`JiE !!]

i mainly use my resume to every where i want to apply for a job. if im applying on the net, i use cover letters as well. i rekon its more effective to go out to shops personally and ask if theres any position available and give in ur resume.
