Where Do Young People Look For Work?

[Links]

yes.. i would say it is your company..

not sounding harsh.. but having gone through the uni thing, trying to find a full time job.. it's alot harder than people think..

as for where else - I wouldn't bother with going to schools.. go to a job site either seek or careerone - that way atleast you'll get someone who is a) computer literate and B) hopefully interested in the job rather than doing it for the sake of applying (which alot of school people do..)

Must be quite generous then. ...

Have you got a role ABO_BOB? we might be able to give you a salary range.

[Abo Bob]

Jeez, talk about a hot thread.

It's an office junior job. Photocopy, fax, take this here, go there and get this, a little bit of phone answering when receptionist is at lunch, scratch my back, a little to the left, get me a drink, fill the dishwasher, go and find one of these and buy it.

I was thinking around $23-26k to start with but could go either way depending. Just interested to see what's out there.

[disturb3d]

Mate, that sounds about right for the role....

as links said, post it up on seek or contact a recruitment agency,

only problem with a recruitment agency is that you may have to pay them a commission based on the salary of the employee..

eg. 6 percent of the employees income..

but with the agency they do all the b.s. work. kinda know from previous experience when hiring some for a contract.

I think your probably on the money.. are you going to go full time or casual..

really.. that requires no real skill.. just the will to stick around hahahaha.. sorry..

anyways.. yeah.. you don't need anyone to special - i'd go for a chick as they tend to be a bit better at answering phones I guess

Thats exactly what i did when i started straight out of school. I was payed 25 000 pa plus super and i thought i was the richest guy going around lol

[yogi000]

a gopher - no more than $25k and being 17-18 yrs without qualification is pretty damn good

Got my last guy from Seek.com, but be prepared to cop atleast 20 emails a DAY....ATLEAST.

Drove me mad at how many applications i got, but be patient, plenty of people who are fresh off the boat people trying to get a job out there & plenty of people who bullshit about what they can do.

thats my experience with job seekers.

[satanic]

The technical term for that position is "Office Shit-Kicker" I believe

Now that the role has been revealed, I think the salary is correct. At least the DEO actually has to do something and has actual responsibilities!!!

[nate33t]

You gotta start somewhere

[Abo Bob]

I've kicked plenty of shit in my time.

Where are at Nate?

[evil_weevil]

im in the wrong industry :D

its not too much of a popular site - have you tried www.gumtree.com.au might get some poeple looking there- however mostly work holiday people.

My last job was found on careerone.com.au

[satanic]

Yes you have to start low.... in my case very very LOW; $5.50 an hour haha! This was when I was 15...

How much lower can you get ~

[Abo Bob]

$1 an hour.

I don't know anyone who gets this but it is lower than $5.50.

[nate33t]

I'm in North Shore. Just let people know you're on SAU and they'll come running. Beats working for an old woman like myself. Anyways goodluck with the search and anywhere between 23-26k is fair for an inexperienced school leaver.

[Abo Bob]

Well I'm now sifting through 130+ applicants... Seek works in one sense...

[yogi000]

that will keep you busy.

good luck finding someone

[Links]

I don't know anyone who gets this but it is lower than $5.50

I used to get $4.60/hr when working at KFC.. than I got a $0.13 pay rise.. I quit the following week after 3 months..

I was 15..

anyways.. yeah.. you'll have fun with seek..

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

christ i'd be happy with that

then again i look like a bastard and probably sound like one too

i'm only on like $12.35 an hour too =/

[88silhouette]

you boys need to come work in the public service

no need to have degree and u can get 50k plus easily hehe

just don't expect any job satisfaction

[GoldZilla]

Hold on, I work in the public service and I don't earn 50k...

I think my area of the public service is the most lowly-paid of all of them (seriously!)

Oh yeah, and you're right about the lack of job satisfaction!
