仕事探し
Finding a job in Australia has been made easier by online job platforms. Websites like Seek, Indeed, and Gumtree are used by thousands of job seekers every day. Many positions that are available for Working Holiday makers include hospitality, farm work, and retail. A resume, which is called a CV in Australia, should be prepared before you start applying. It is recommended that you include your visa status and availability. Walking into cafes and restaurants to hand in your resume has also been found to be effective. Many jobs that are not advertised online can be found this way. Networking is another method that has been proven useful. Friends who have already found work can often introduce you to their employers. The job market in Australia has been growing, especially in regional areas.
Readingの内容チェック
Q: リーディングによると、オーストラリアで履歴書のことを何と呼びますか？
I have found two jobs through Gumtree since I arrived in Melbourne three weeks ago. The website, which is well known in Australia, has many job listings that are updated daily. My first job, which was found within a week, is at a cafe in Fitzroy. I was asked to come in for a trial shift, and I was hired the same day. The search function, which allows you to filter by location and job type, has been very useful. Some listings that I saw were a bit outdated, so you should check the posting date. I have also been contacted by employers after I posted my own ad in the "looking for work" section. This is a method that has worked well for me, and I would recommend it to anyone who is searching for a job.
Reviewの内容チェック
Q: レビューによると、最初の仕事が見つかるまでどれくらいかかりましたか？
オーストラリアでは「trial shift（お試しシフト）」をお願いされることがあります。法律では、トライアルでも給料が支払われるべきですが、無給で何日も働かされる悪質なケースもあります。「Will I be paid for the trial?」と事前に確認しましょう。
オーストラリアの最低賃金は世界でもトップクラスです。カジュアル（パートタイム）の場合は「casual loading」という追加手当がつきます。「What's the hourly rate?」と面接で聞くのは普通のことなので、遠慮せずに確認しましょう。
