Is it too late to look for a job? (1 Viewer)

[RofL]

I want a job after the HSC and want to work before Christmas, is it too late to be looking for a job if I apply after the HSC, or even if I apply now?

You could apply at City Beach. They need a heap of workers for the Christmas holidays.

Other than that, idk. You would just have to ask around and see what is going. I'd say you'd be able to start working as soon as they accept your application.

A lot of places are still hiring for Christmas casuals at the moment.

Apply now and let them know when you'll be available. They normally want people to work from the end of October or beginning of November onwards.

SEEK - Australia's no. 1 jobs, employment, career and recruitment site

Pretty sure DJs is still looking for people as well as a few other retail places like Forever New, Dymocks, etc.

It's not to late. Look for places which will have an increase in customers over the summer, like surf shops, cafes, etc.

I'm from NSW, and David Jones and Myer have already completed their CC applicant/group interview stage a loooong time ago. Unless their doing a second round, I think they've already finished the recruitment stage.

Not sure about other states.

You could try JB Hi Fi or Event Cinemas. Just ask and hand in a resume. Cinemas will need people during the summer holiday buzz. A lot of retail clothing stores have already finishing their recruitment stage. Maybe just browse the websites and see if they have anything open.

Apply now!! Do not wait till after the HSC. I did last year, and could not find anything, ANYWHERE. (My best friend did get a CC position last year in Payless Shoes straight after the HSC, so maybe their worth a try.) But this year I applied early in August-September, and got lots of offers. So it definitely pays to apply early, because my resume really hasn't changed much since last year.

Good luck!

+1. I work in surf retail and it is coming up to peak season for us, so City Beach and other surf shops will be on the lookout for people. I got my job in late November last year, so it's never too late! Major retailers usually have completed their recruitment process by now for Christmas, but keep an eye out for signs and ads from other retailers. Jewellery stores like Goldmark are recruiting (have seen their signs), and the promotions industry is very busy over Christmas (with giving out samples instore, stuff like that..)

I reckon you can still apply for jobs in retail.

I'm personally waiting for my HSC results then go apply for jobs, if i get a good ATAR then I'm gonna apply to tutor little kids a those colleges... if you know which ones to go to and get a 90+ ATAR, you can easily get a job at a tutoring college.
