Know where to look!
This is the first part of the challenge, once you
have explored your institution’s career services
on campus then head online. Use the advanced
search options to select part-time or casual
jobs. Then set up email alerts so you will receive
regular emails with jobs matching your search.

Don’t spam employers
Don’t just indiscriminately hand out your
résumé all over the place. Target relevant jobs
and tailor your résumé to suit that style of
job. Pay attention to skills or responsibilities
relevant to that job and make sure they are
mentioned in your résumé/cover letter. Expect
to get rejected by most but submitting your
résumé shows you’re keen.

What to wear to an interview
For a casual role you will generally not have to
dress in business formal but it is still essential to
appear clean, neat and tidy. For graduate roles
and professional internships business formal
may be expected, so research the company
before you attend.
