Well whilst you are here there isn't many well paid jobs as they are usually for people with PR (Permanent residency) which is really sad. Most banks and businesses require work experience.
Work experience can be hard to get here.
But there are several jobs some of which pay well and others don't.
Here are some of the most common ones that students here do
1) Waitressing- some of the Asian restaurants don't pay well but most of the European ones do. But they require good English.
2) Working at 7-11 and other retail stores- now 7-11 doesn't pay well but other retail stores do. When you go exploring have a look around and see what jobs you can do as they are often not advertised in the paper.
3) Taxi driver- the hours are not great and it is often unsafe at night, especially with all the violence on Friday and Saturday night.
4) Work at RUSU- Student union always employ people from time to time.
5) Door to door salespeople often work in the cold and wet selling stuff and they don't earn a lot of money. The hours can be long and tiring.
6) Call centers- the hours are long but good pay. There are far and few jobs in between for this occupation.
7) Fast food- they don't pay much and there are long hours standing on your feet. Sometimes you can be covered in dirt when you go home from all the cleaning. And in some places for example Hungry Jacks late at night can be violent
8) Cleaner- some of the jobs can require a car whilst others are close to public transport. Cleaners don't get paid a good rate. You can be covered in lots of dirt and smell. You can also be expected to walk about 8-15 kms in a day carrying heavy equipment.
9) Admin staff in an office- some of the jobs require PR and others don't. There are quite a few part time jobs.
10) Blogging- this is the best job of all. Not only do you get paid you also get invited to many events and product launches. Think Nuffnang and Weekend Notes where you get paid about $0.01 per view. Get lots of views and ad clicks and you can be earning a nice profit. You get to work as many hours as you want and when you want to in the comfort of your own home. Its a great way to practice your English. You might find it hard to start off with but as you go it will be easier.
Good luck in looking for jobs as they are hard to find nowadays.
