a bit of background info would be helpful, like what have you done in the past, qualifications etc....

For fairly unskilled work..I would be looking at customer sevice.. that sort of thing, as that is this sort of area.

AAPT often has openings available for call centre operators. The theme parks often have openings if you're a bit of a people person.

Even something like working for a cleaning company cleaning hotels, factories, or the like if you're really desparate to just get something.

There is plenty of construction around, so if you can handle labouring in the hot sun, there is a bit of that work around.

My suggestions anyhow.

My experience with the gold coast, Too many people, not enough jobs, low wages. Good Luck.

Heaps of call centres around if you think you can do outbound calling (cold calling) tough job, but could tie you over till you find something.

[n15m0]

fast food joints eg maccas and kfc always have positions available.....

get a labouring job, then pay isnt too badbut u will have to work though. also the worst part about a labouring job is your affected by the weather, rain etc. so days off u will have from the elements.

[rb25]

high-rise construction labouring is quite easy to get into here, as long as you have your blue card (safety induction card).

Call centres galore too as mentioned above.

Blue card, hard hat, and good work boots, many will require an abn too. The blue card is $75-100, and there are a few web sites where you can do the test.

But yeah, what are your actual skills.

We cant help you unless you tell us your qualifications...

I mean there are 3 jobs i can think of off the top of my head. But all 3 require a little knowledge in their fields...

Maby you dont have any qualifications... But if you put the following we will be able to help;

1. Age

2. Location (suburb)

3. Car Y/N

4. Education Level

5. (most important) What jobs have u had and for how long?

[nissanboys13]

hey mate if you seriously know of an actual job i can pm you my actual resume

let me know

thanks

[Col-GTSX]

Mate....

Just to be completelly honest now...

No... If you cant go to the effort of answering a few simple questions that really does nothing to identify you or harm you which will help other help u also. In order to get a job i dont think i would be keen on interviewing you as already im not hearing any enthuisam.

Sorry

[Col-GTSX]

Ok bit harsh...

Just tell us what you have done in the past and age?

[nissanboys13]

17

worked at iga supermarket,

plant nursery,

bakery,

Curerently gift store.

didnt want to sound rude before mate

but generally didnt want to get flamed when i posted up my details etc

thanks

[Col-GTSX]

Any reason why u have had so many jobs?

I mean have u moved round abit or didnt like em???

[nissanboys13]

well the nursey closed down so i had to leave there

and i wasnt to fond of the bakery

but yea i worked at iga for a while

and the gift store im currently still there

[Col-GTSX]

OK....

The jobs i have on the books will be a little too much at the moment. Also fast food joints will say your 17 (meaning they could hire 2 x 14 year olds for the same dollar) So might i suggest getting back into retail (not iga) but more like Target or K-Mart. Become a shelf stocker, work your way up.

Yes retail means weekend work. But remember retail means air conditioned work and great rates ($$$) for casual and part timers. Also with retail you always have promotion in larger company's. I mean you can drop out of school at year 10 and still earn over 150k as a department manager for coles myer.... Think about it....
