Finding a Job in Sydney

Finding work in Sydney is not the easiest task as the city is not only packed with young Australians looking for work, but also many international students and immigrants as well. Also, be aware that there are thousands of other working holiday makers like yourself there who are looking for work too! But it is possible to find work - just don't be surprised if it's not exactly your dream job that you find. There are often many lower wage jobs available, while the good paying jobs are not as easy to get unless you have relevant degrees and certifications...or a little thing called "experience". But still, there is work available and you just have to be persistent and determined in your job search to find something that puts money in your pocket.

Look for jobs in The Daily Telegraph and The Sydney Morning Herald - the top newspapers in Sydney in which you will find job listings in every field.

Recruitment agencies such as Geoffrey Nathan, Robert Half, Pinnacle Hospitality, Freespirit, Charter House, TempTeam, Morgan Consulting (just to name a few) can all help you with finding a new job in Sydney.

As you probably already know, many employers post job ads online and this is especially true in Sydney. Here are some websites and job search engines to checkout regarding jobs in Sydney:

* Gumtree
* Seek.com.au
* Workforce Extensions
* Careerone.com.au
* MyCareer.com.au
* Infoexchange.net.au


Its important to know - if you plan on working in a bar or in a restaurant where you'll be serving alcohol, you will have to have your RSA Certificate (Responsible Service of Alcohol).
