Working options in Sydney
Hi guys and gals,
I’m currently in Sydney and looking for any kind of work but I feel it has become impossible to hear anything back from websites like seek and the Facebook groups are full of scams. If anybody knows of any jobs going or can point me in the direction of one that would be greatly appreciated.
For reference I’m a 21 year old male from Liverpool with experience in labour, customer service and bartending.
Many thanks

Re: Working options in Sydney
A quick phone call to friends in Sydney with a son in similar employment, brought the suggestions that follow.
Bartending jobs are not in great demand nowadays. Every year gazillions of HS leavers do a fast bartending course and then apply for these jobs, so there is an oversupply of applicants. Locals are preferred. Ditto Melbourne. Maybe opportunities for you up in Queensland as their economy is more tourist-oriented. Assuming you would want to live up there, that is.
Son also said (quite seriously, he insisted) if you are young and good-looking, many 'alternative' bars on Oxford Street will employ you. It seems they pay better than in the 'straighter' venues but for unknown reasons staff come and go quickly. Not sure why son made this comment, but am quoting as told.
Customer service, do you mean call center work? There may be more scope for you in this area. Most is reasonably well paid. According to my source, CC team leaders are ogres trained by Nazi overlords. Most Australian companies have now outsourced their CCs to Asian countries, which may be one reason why most of my friends refuse to call them.
Forget Facebook etc etc. Register with a reputable employment agency (surprise3, they do exist!!) and ask to be referred to employment.
As many here on BE would say, the "very best of British" to you. Enjoy your time Down Under.

If you're open to other cities Melbourne would be worth a try too, it's a lovely place. Keep looking, I'm sure you'll land something. Take care and enjoy yourself!
