Casual jobs for students

Now is a great time to apply for a summer holiday casual position.

In the lead-up to Christmas Coles, Woolworths, Kmart, Target, Bunnings as well as other smaller stores all put on new staff. Often the school is contacted with details of a vacancy which are forwarded to students, so they are encouraged to check their DET emails regularly.

Students in Years 9 and 10 have received a guide to CV-writing. Students are welcome to contact the careers office if they would like assistance with proof-reading and edit their CVs, or any help with their applications.

Both casual employment and volunteering rates very highly with university early-entry committees requiring evidence of extra-curricular commitments, so getting a job not only teaches students valuable employment skills, and earns them some money, it also helps them enormously with their university applications.
