There are many sources and strategies available for finding work including:

• Visiting local employers of interest to you and asking if they have any jobs available either now or in the future. Remember to leave a copy of your resume. It is always a good idea to telephone, write to or visit a potential employer even if they are not publicly advertising for any vacancies. They may remember you in two to three months time when a real need arises.
• Seeking work experience. You never know - 2 weeks of voluntary work experience could result in a permanent paid position. It not only gives you an opportunity to demonstrate your skills, abilities and personality to the employer, but will also add to your understanding and experience of the "world of work"!
• Search Internet websites for local web-based recruitment agencies
• Asking your parents, relatives and friends if they know of any contacts or possible job opportunities. Use as many personal contacts as you can, you might establish potential leads for job opportunities.
• Going to your nearest Centrelink Job Centre and asking the staff to help you.
• Searching through employment advertisements in newspapers, in particular Saturday's and Wednesday's edition of popular state newspapers, as well as national papers like The Australian, and interstate papers if you are willing to relocate.
• Visiting Centrelink Career Information centres or visiting www.jobsearch.deetya.gov.au.
• Speaking with your Careers Teacher or an infront Consultant.
• Enquiring with recruitment agencies (such as Speakman Tanner Menzies, or Select Appointments).
• Listen, Note, Research & Enquire. Look out for any business expansions you read about in the newspapers, see on television or hear on the radio because it is highly likely that these companies will be in need of some extra staff in the future. Be sure to show that you have done some thorough research on the company and the industry in which it is involved. Demonstrate your initiative and prove that you have a very keen interest in their particular organisation.
