lokk posted:I did a semester abroad in Melbourne (RMIT) a few years ago, and loving fell in the love with the country. Planning on moving there with a friend on a work holiday visa (from the US), we both have $6,000...probably going to stay at a hostel and grab either retail or telemarketing jobs. Does anyone currently living in Melbourne know how the retail job market is? I'd kill to be able to work at a clothes store or something instead of making calls all day. Thanks! My girlfriend and I moved to Melbourne together 2 months ago. We both have one year work/holiday visas. I was able to find a job as a cook a week and half after I started searching. I have experience so that helped, but there were tons of job ads on melbourne.gumtree.com.au (as people have mentioned). My girlfriend had waitressing experience and it took her about a week to find a job at a decent restaurant. We live near Chapel St. and we have seen a lot of Help Wanted signs in shop windows. I think you should have a very easy time finding retail work, especially if you plan on being in the country longer than a couple months. Once we had jobs and employers that could vouch for us, it only took us another week or so to find an apartment. I have a friend who does casual work at a retail shop and she makes $20 an hour, and that's what my girlfriend makes as a waitress. Good luck, but I imagine you'll find work in no time.
