If you're a Study Abroad or English Language Student currently undertaking a course of study then chances are you've already got all the permissions required to be employed up to 20 hours per week.
Since May 2008, the permission required to work has been included in most student visa applications. If you're not sure whether your visa conditions allow you to work you can use the Department of Immigration's VEVO (Visa Entitlements Verification Online) facility. VEVO allows visa holders to quickly and easily verify their current visa details, especially helpful now that most eVisas never make it into your passport.
If you're looking for a part-time job to supplement your busy traveling lifestyle there's plenty out there. Your first port of call when seeking out employment should be the university or college notice boards. Most institutions will have a board dedicated to student jobs and this is the best place to start looking as the employees are obviously looking for students to fill their positions. Check the classified section of your local or student newspapers as well as the jobs section of the Gumtree online.
Remember, if you're only here temporarily, you're probably not going to land your dream job in that up-town advertising agency so be flexible and find something to make a bit of cash on the side and have some fun. If you're confident of your personality and what you've got to offer an employee, get out, door knock and sell yourself. One of the hardest things about getting a job is getting in the door, so why not jump the queues and walk right on in?
The following websites are a great place to look but can be a little too focused on career type positions:
www.seek.com.au
