Places to work in Australia?
Hiya, I'd really prefer people who live in Australia to answer, however if you have anything to help me you're welcome to answer.
I used to work at KFC, and the pay was really bad. The conditions were terrible and I kept getting rostered onto really bad days so I left.
So luckily, finding another job won't be as hard as other people who have never worked before (Although I only worked there for 3 months)
I was wondering, where else can I apply? I'd prefer if you could apply online but anywhere will do. Also, chain stores would be easier. If it's any help, I live in Melbourne Australia.
Please don't say "work in a fast food or a supermarket" because I can't apply for Coles (or anything within it, KMart, Bilo etc) for 12 months because of a past failed application and the Safeway near me doesn't have any spare spots.
I'm okay with working in Fast Food. So you can suggest fast food places but please tell me WHICH ONES, I just applied for Mc Donalds and Red Rooster and Hungry Jacks doesn't get back to me.
Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Job Searches?
Ok, it's after Christmas, so my advice is to jsut print off/ photocopy about 20-odd copies of your resume, and go around the local mall/collection of shops and hand out your resume. Make sure you keep a copy at home for yourself.
Only hand out to places you feel you could work in (ie, don't hand to Tobaccanist if you abhore smokes.) But you can't be too pertnickety.
Just ask the sales clerk if you could see the manager/supervisor, if they're out, ask the sales clerk how they got their job, if they needed to fill anything out, and hand them your resume. They may refer you to apply online, but hey, it doesn't hurt.
Smile, and generally be friendly, and that you came to them to ask always leaves a good impression.
Also, applying in shops where they actually have an opening (ie, like on a sign in the front window) helps.
Hope I helped! Good luck (I'm in Canberra, and just got a job 2 days ago from doing this!)

On a side note. If it's anything like here in the US, you've got to call those places back where you are putting in your applications. When you call ask for the manager on duty and tell them who you are and when you applied. Keep calling back until they tell you to quit calling or come in for an interview. Say something like, "yes my name is so and so and last week I put in an application" "I'd like to know if I have been considered for employment and if so when I might be able to interview." They'll either be impressed at your resilience or bothered by you. This tactic has worked for me on several occasion so may work for you. Sorry I can't help you out anymore. :(
