I(currently in grade eleven) am looking out for a part time job(to familiarize myself with the Australian culture) in some nearby cafes and coffee shops.I have no Australian experience of holding a part time job or any volunteering(although I have done some volunteering overseas)! I have never worked in a cafe nor in any coffee shop before so I have no idea what to put in my resume ! Any advise will be highly appreciable
P.s Should I make a cover letter along with it too?And what position to apply for?Who to hand out the resume and how long does it take to get a reply?Sorry for so many questions !
That's a great idea! Getting a job will also build character and work ethic, so good decision.
Rather than write a lengthy response in writing a resume -- which I'm not too fantastic at myself -- I will just direct you
here. Plenty of people don't have job experience by your age, so you'll be fine!
Apply for anything you can, really. DIshwashing is a good start, and they're pretty common jobs to find. If it's in person, typically just go in, ask politely if there's anybody you could hand your resume to, and follow their directions. Responses vary greatly; anywhere from a day to weeks to months.
You can also try online sources, such as jobsearch and seek. You'll want to be looking for a
casual job. You could also ask your careers advisor if they know of any open spots nearby -- they'll typically know.
Good luck
