If you're thinking in terms of retail, you're a bit late to apply I think...

I don't think it's that late yet...look on the websites of the supermarkets, big stores, DJ's etc. It's on all their websites these days. KFC and Macca's are always looking for people however...and sometimes I kinda wished I worked there because it seems fun and fast paced and easy...

I bet you'll live to regret what you just said. People don't work at KFC and Maccas because its fun. They do it for money and/or experience. Staff turnover at fast food restaurants is high because its shit and for many, just a starting point in their employment career.

Maccas employees are looked very favourably upon if you intend to work in customer service or retail in the future, because of their training program.

Fast food really isn't bad to work in

its really not that bad you just need to realise that it's still a workplace and not a social gathering which a lot of people dont

Try your local government. Often they'll have jobs open at the pools, landcare or maintenance etc. Although, your probably a bit to late for this year...
