So you’re here studying but you need some work to keep you going.

Here’s a couple of tips that you might find useful.

• Get yourself a tax file number from the ATO. You can’t get paid without one!
• Get your RSA/RCG Certificates: There’s always bar work and the majority of hotels will be looking for new people at the start of each year. Go here for more info on gaining accreditation.
• Get your Construction Induction Certificate (Green Card): you can’t work on a construction site without one and there’s plenty of other places that require it too.
• Register your interest with Services UNE Employment Service
• If you’ve worked for a national company in your home town (Coles, Woolworths etc etc) approach the local store about employment. Also talk to your current employer, they may be able to organise a transfer for you.
• Keep your eyes on the UNE Employment pages.
• And here’s a summary (via yahoo.com.au) of employment agencies in the ‘Dale.

There’s a lot of competition for work in Armidale, so dress appropriately, get a spunky resume together and start knocking on doors!

And if you need help, book an appointment with UNE’s Careers Development Officers at Student Assist

Hope this helps,
