Here are their tips to help you land a summer job. 1. “Who is hiring during the Christmas period?” Most jobs are in retail - but a good handful of jobs are in hospitality and warehouse work. So, go where the jobs are! 2. “I don’t have any experience….” This is the best time to be applying. It’s busier during the festive season, so naturally companies need to quickly hire and train up more staff to help. It's the perfect time to build experience. 3. “Should I only apply for one job?” Of our students, 32% applied for 3 or less jobs, and 37% applied for 10+ jobs. The lesson here is to build resilience and keep trying, but don’t simply blast your resume everywhere. Be mindful where you are applying, because employers really love it when you really want to work specifically for them. 4. “Where do I even start finding positions?” Here’s a secret. 67% of students used online websites such as summerjobs.com.au to find job openings! But 30% of students asked family and friends. So, don’t be shy to ask around.
