This day was so much fun and fantastic. There was heaps of Information given-in fact it was information overload.
Some tips mentioned
Working in Australia
Lots of students will want part time jobs whilst here but there are a lot of dodgy employers. You may have read about the case with Daiso.
Students should know their rights and the law when it comes to working in Australia. Getting an ABN is illegal but you do need a Tax file number to work. Paying people under the minimum wage is not okay, again its illegal
You need to network with people and you need some work experience to get a job in Australia. Employers now want people with experience. One way could be is to start a blog and that blog needs to be a professional one. You can also be invited to many bloggers events.
Where can I find a job? Look at your unviersity's career hub
Living in Australia
There were lots and lots of useful tips and we will cover them in the next few months, but one thing that is most important is communication with your flatmates and landlord.
Payment is another thing. You bond must go to the bond authority. They keep the bond until you move out and then they will give it back to you provided you have not damaged the property and paid the rent on time. If you can't pay on time then tell the landlord. Give them an email, as written communication is a lot better. Keep a paper trail whenever you communicate with the landlord. The landlord is usually understanding if the rent is late
For next years one I'd like to have an open champagne bar (sponsored by one of the champagne companies)
Many thanks to AFIS for having us.
