Most employers are looking for students aged 14 or over (though some will accept you younger).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you apply for positions? In my experience, the most effective way is to prepare your resume, and then walk around shops and hand out your resume. Dress appropriately when you are doing this, as it is your first impression with a potential employer. Many employers will also ask you to apply via an online portal &#8211; this is particularly relevant for large employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you are letting family and friends know you are looking &#8211; this is networking, and is one of the most successful ways of obtaining employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some employers will reach out to me, and I will send this information out via Compass &#8211; an example of this is City Beach who are looking for Christmas Casuals. All students in Years 9 &#8211; 11 received this information in Week 1.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5025\" style=\"width:363px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"267\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1-1-1024x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1-1-1024x267.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1-1-300x78.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1-1-768x201.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1-1-575x150.jpg 575w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/86\/2025\/10\/image-1-1.jpg 1149w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-3bacb771af14081103fc37dff41c86e5\"><strong>ATTN: Year 9-12 students &amp; parents whose children are considering a career in medicine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mailout.nie.edu.au\/l\/fEKgeHJjZcmnJrRQFSM2zA\/SEszRZcXA5N763hRB3U84Bhg\/eh1tM9H6KFuF2DF5Pb5yEA\">The Future Doctors Australia program<\/a> provides a unique, hands-on opportunity for students aged 14-18 who are passionate about a future in medicine.
