As one of the world’s leading countries in education, Australia is increasingly expensive to study abroad, forcing more and more students to choose to work while studying. Here and here to learn about the preparation and ways of part-time job for Australian students.
1. Make adequate language preparation to ensure that your language must pass the standard, in general, the level of language determines the quality of your work.
Generally, international students do well in IELTS, but when they start to look for a job, they often feel that the language is not very good.
Especially in the service industry, the English requirements are naturally higher;
The Chinese business requires you to speak many dialects. For example, restaurant workers will expect you to speak Cantonese. If you know Japanese, Shanghainese, you have a little more chance than others.
2. Need to have good psychological quality started looking for a job, don’t want to find the can quickly find out smoothly and normally have to undergo a process, then you can’t lose heart, don’t be discouraged, must hold to, the right face, thinking to find a job at the same time to calm analysis of their existing problems, in order to improve the success rate of next time to look for a job.
When you start working, you may have a good employer, but you are also likely to have a cranky, difficult employer.
Be patient enough.
Of course, if the employer does degrade you to a certain degree, you should have a proper response that preserves your dignity.
3. During the summer vacation, some overseas students will go to the farms in South Australia or Queensland to do some picking work. Although the income is relatively high, the working hours are relatively long, usually about 10 hours, so you should not only have the psychology of suffering, but also have a strong body.
Due to the language limitation, most students find their first job with a Chinese employer, which is not an ideal place for long-term employment due to the poor language environment and low pay (usually 8-10 Australian dollars/hour).
If your English level allows, try to apply for English-only jobs, such jobs not only pay more, and to improve the language ability will have a significant effect.
This is a cost-effective and efficient way to find a job for international students who can’t work more than 20 hours a week.
Go to the company and ask in the store if there are any part-time jobs available.
If the company is hiring, they’ll write down your phone number and soon, in most cases the next day, they’ll be ready for a trial run.
2. Job advertisements in Australian newspapers There are many part-time jobs in newspapers, which are classified by industry.
The applicant can choose the corresponding position according to their own conditions, and contact the employer directly by telephone, mail or post.
3. The most convenient way is to look for a job on the Internet. The websites of several job agencies commonly used in Australia all have special search bars for part-time jobs, so that students can choose according to their own region.
Part-time jobs that are in high demand are mainly in catering, cleaning and packaging.
4. Through a job agent When I first come to Australia, I am unfamiliar with the place and have limited information, so I can also entrust a job agent with full authority to find a job.
Usually they charge a fee for their services and are guaranteed a job.
Serve until you find a job.
5. I attended social activities, and my friends recommended some small and medium-sized businesses in Australia. The owner opened a shop and hired several employees.
When business is booming and more hands are needed to help, it is common for existing employees to refer their friends.
Therefore, make more friends at ordinary times, and participate in some social activities inside and outside the school, so as to increase the chance of finding a job.
6. University Career Offices The University is not obliged to assist students in their job search. However, there are career offices in all universities where students can look for job opportunities if they are interested. Some job opportunities will be posted on campus noticeboards.
But overall, schools offer few job opportunities.
7. Attend some professional training Since many jobs in Australia require local qualifications, the jobs available to international students are mostly rudimentary manual labor. Of course, if you are willing to invest some money and energy to participate in some professional training, the situation will be greatly improved.
For example, if you spend about A $1,500 and a month of vacation time studying for a primary certificate as a care worker, the training agency will arrange part-time work for 20 hours a week.
In general, I do some work to take care of the elderly in the elderly care center. The work is not tired, but the hourly wage is about 20 Australian dollars, higher in holidays.
This way is very good for students who plan to study in Australia for a long time.
At last, I would like to remind you that you should be moderate in studying and working in Australia. Australian universities require students to have an attendance rate of 80%, otherwise they will have their student status and study visa cancelled. Don’t put the cart before the horse to affect your study for working or purchasing.
