If all of the above is okay with you, then read on!
I. What kind of jobs do international students have in Australia?
On-campus jobs
On-campus jobs are mainly jobs in libraries, cafeterias, administrative offices, bookstores and other places. However, on-campus jobs are very, very, very rare! So you're lucky to get them! To find on-campus part-time jobs, you need to visit your school's career center.
2. Off-campus jobs
Most students look for jobs off-campus because they are easier to find.
For international students in Australia, most of the jobs are cashiering and stocking in Chinese supermarkets, working as waiters in restaurants and cafes, front of house, back of house, and so on.
When they first came to Australia, because of language and lack of experience, most of the students work as black laborers in Chinese restaurants. However, when they have some experience and their English level improves, they can work as local part-time workers without being squeezed by them and get a higher salary.
Where to find part-time job information?
Major job search websites
Australia's job search website is quite a lot, summarize a few commonly used:
Seek (www.seek.com.au/)
Seek is Australia's number one job site, like China's Zhilian Recruitment, MileagePlus.
Gumtree(.au/)
The recruitment ads on Gumtree are a mix of good and bad, keep the necessary vigilance, if you see a good one, you can contact the employer directly, most of them will leave a phone number.
Job Search(/)
One shift is one of the newer job search sites, and this one focuses more on temporary work, with plenty of jobs from one-day temps to temporary part-time jobs.
Facebook groups
When looking for a job on Facebook, just search for the keywords of the position you're looking for directly on Facebook.
There are generally two types of jobs on Facebook, one is a job search posted by an individual employer, usually restaurant or supermarket based. The ones that are hiring are usually waiters or handyman workers. Then there are the local businesses that make their own groups and post vacancies.
Generally jobs on Facebook will have the employer's email attached, so just send him your resume.
Sweeping the streets
"Sweeping the streets" means going to places where there are a lot of stores, taking your resume with you, and asking door-to-door.
Some shopkeepers are more careful, usually the resume will be left behind as a backup resource, once there is a vacancy, you can immediately contact, but this efficiency will be relatively low, maybe run a day are not suitable, maybe the first day on the chance.
Friends
No matter where you are in the world, having acquaintances to introduce you can greatly improve the efficiency of your job search. In Australia, if a store is short of staff, the first thing they will do is not to put up a job advertisement, but to ask the existing staff if they have any acquaintances around.
You can also ask around from your fellow workers who are working part-time, because if they are in need of people, you can get first-hand information.
Don't ignore the power of LinkedIn in T&T, it will be easier to find local jobs.
Put your resume in a wide net and drag a long line, first solve the problem of availability, as long as you haven't found a job, go to the platform every now and then to put all the relevant work once, don't think about whether they will not be enough to level ah these, put it again first.
Three, how much money can I make working part-time?
local boss: average 15 knives/hour
Chinese boss: 10 knives-13/hour
Additionally, the wages will be lower in places nearer to the school, and higher in places farther away, because the competition is smaller after all!
Four, how many hours can international students work?
If you are on a student visa, you can work up to 40 hours in two weeks, and unlimited hours on vacation! Remember it's not 20 hours per week, but 40 hours for 2 weeks! Because the schedule is more flexible that way.
V. What are the precautions for working in Australia?
1. Get a tax ID number before you work
When you work in Australia, you must get your own tax ID number first so you can pay your taxes!
2. Remember to get a tax refund
Everyone who works in Australia needs to declare a tax refund once a year. For international students who work part-time in general, this will likely mean that small hundreds or even thousands of Australian dollars in taxes will be refunded each year. So don't forget to claim your tax refund and get your share of the tax back.
Sixth: What should I do if I'm being pressurized to work?
If you are treated unfairly when you are working as a student in Australia, you can refer to the Fair Work website www.fairwork.gov.au或者致电它们的援助专线13 13 94 for help. International students can also call 13 14 50 if they need Chinese language services
But only if you are not working as a black worker, which means you are working as a tax-paying kind of worker.
For the first month or two, you may find yourself very busy and have a hard time coordinating your schedule, but later on, you will find that you can handle it all!
Whether you work part-time or not, I hope that you are doing what you think is important during your years of study abroad!
