Have you thought about tertiary education? I got my job through word of mouth at TAFE. Many buisnesses go to TAFEs to look for potential employees.

Have you ever thought of perhaps approaching large businesses in the area of work you wish to embark on and enquiring about doing some "unpaid work experience".

And before you dismiss the idea......it gives you the opportunity to "get ya foot in the door, put ya head down and put ya rear end up" and show the employer that your keen, eager and willing to learn and work hard.......not to mention gains you yourself some invaluable actual on the job experience.

If you prove yourself the "unpaid" part wont last too long......employers are always on the lookout for honest hard working young people but are sometimes a little hesitant to make the commitment to actually employing them "sight unseen" so to speak.

a lot of places these days don't want to, or can't allow people to work for free, as you are not covered under workplace health and saftey or insurance, they may consider you a liability if you are not on the books. Not to mention if the work requires a lot of instruction or supervision by other paid staff, then it can actually be conterproductive for them to have you.

My brother is an aircraft tech and his boss allowed an appretice who had just lost his job to work for free to get his experience up to get qualified. Because he wasn't on the books his time couldn't be charged to the customer and my brother had to spend several hours during the week helping him out so his chargable hours went down also, net result of costing the boss money. This would not be the case in all situations, but its important to consider as if a potential employer allows you to work for free, he is doing you a favour, not the other way around as it may seem to you after working your **** off for a few days for free.

That being said, give it a go, just don't take it as a reflection on yourself if no-one is willing to take up your offer.

Go to a few recruiting agencies and they will be able to get you various warehouse/factory/labour work.

Get into construction labouring. Its a bit of hard work, but the money is ususlly 20-25 an hour plus. Its good for earning quick money. I use construction labouring as a means to pay bills when Im between jobs. Best thing to do is just go to construction sites, ask to see a supervisor or get a phone nuber, and ask them if they need a labourer. Most of them are always in need of them, and are only too happy to put you on.

oh yeha
as you can see this actualy account s2 hyundai s2 looks pretty damn gay...
is it possible to change it? or get it deleted by admin so that i can start a new account from my email address...
cheers ing_sm

[Dauphin]

If you have interests in something productive, try and get a few dollars together and start a business.

[gtfpv]

buy a courier franchise . seriously . not joking its a good start to a non working life .give it a go .

[s2_hyundai_s2]

the thing is,
i dun have much money to start off with, :(

so yeha, just looking for a job that will bring in the cash :(

[robjh80]

What about doing a quick course in Bricklaying and then getting yourself into a Brickies Gang on the building sites, dont think those courses cost stuff all either..........I believe some of those guys are earning big bucks at the moment, the building boom is still ongoing in Brisbane and certainly doesn't look like easing up any time soon.

[Falcon_Phill]

Get an apprenticeship, while doing that learn something on the side that you actually want to do, and not what your being offered, then go with that.

If you don't mind doing a bit investigate a sparkys apprenticeship , never enough of them and it's easy to make better than most..
if you then wish to go further tafe and a diploma in electrical engineering .
In the mean time go into the place on the main rd at upper mt gravatt opposit the chemist ( sorry I have forgotten the name) near the cab rank.. they use thousand of casuals everyday .

[rapidchris]

go to tafe and do a bar course. its about $1000 ( expensive i know but it will pay off.) then go to a hole heap of pubs clubs ect...... you can earn up to $500 a night. i did this just after school only prob is u work thurs fri sat night but the rest of the week is free.... just an idea but. im a carpenter now and would highly recommend a apprentership as well. bad money to start with but it pays off..... all the best with the search

[vectra-racer]

well no advice for you mate, but i wanted to say good on ya, for getting off ya backside and actually DOING something about finding work.

too many kids wanna sit around doing sod all.

good luck, hope you find something decent

[s2_hyundai_s2]

Just to clarify TAFE is not a tertiary form of education as it does not award degrees.

[alstar5]

Monogoloid, Teritary Education doesn't have to be a University Degree. Teritary Education is any education obtained after High School.

Some courses at TAFE would certainly be considered Tertiary Forms of Education, especially Certificate IV's, Diplomas and Advanced Diplomas.

Agreed, and I have all of the above!!

Yep, the system goes primary, secondary and then tertiary... by definition, any education after secondary school is considered tertiary.

To the thread starter, good luck with the interviews and becoming a teacher in the future.
