Search for a Job

BROWNS Jobs Club will help you to find a job in Australia. We recommend you do the following:

Check the BROWNS job database for jobs available in Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

Check employment sites on the internet. Some useful employment websites are:

Contact recruitment and employment agencies:

 

Obtain copies of Australian daily newspapers , all of which contain '˜positions vacant' sections (the Saturday editions are the best), including job advertisements dedicated to particular industries or professions on certain days. Most local and national newspapers are available in the reading rooms of local libraries in Australia, so you don't usually need to buy them. Jobs are also advertised in industry and trade newspapers and magazines.

If you have a professional qualification that's recognised in Australia, writing to an Australian professional organisation for information and advice (addresses are obtainable from Australian chambers of commerce overseas); membership of the organisation may be obligatory to work in Australia. All associations publish journals containing '˜positions vacant' advertisements, where members can also offer their services to prospective employers. Information about specific professions, trades and industries, particularly job opportunities in individual states, cities or areas, can be obtained from local chambers of commerce in Australia.

Place an advertisement on the '˜BROWNS Facebook page' informing visitors (to the BROWNS Facebook page) of the position you are seeking or area you wish to work. Write a short description about your skills and work experience, as well as your hours of availability.

Ask other BROWNS students whether they know of an employer looking for someone with your experience and skills.

Join social and sports clubs. Post a profile of yourself on the social/sports club noticeboard and include a header 'Part time work wanted - can start immediately'.

Your best chance of obtaining a part-time (or casual job) in Australia is to apply in person. Success is often simply a matter of being in the right place at the right time. When looking for a job for which no special qualifications or experience are required, it isn't necessarily what you know, but who you know. Many companies don't advertise but rely on attracting workers by word of mouth and their own vacancy boards. Always leave your name and address with a prospective employer and (if possible) a telephone number where you can be contacted, particularly if a job may become vacant at short notice.
