One way of helping to make your budget balance is to look for some part time work. Below is some information that may be useful in assisting you to look for work. Remember when looking for part time work to consider how many hours you will be able to realistically do so that work doesn’t negatively impact on your studies. A part time job can sometimes also be one way of getting some valuable work experience while you are still studying. Finding a JobWhere to look There are many different job seeking web sites. Some of these are: The Courier Mail on Saturday has an employment section which lists part time positions and your local paper has an employment section with jobs in your local area. The QUT student guild website has a section which lists employment opportunities. For more information go to www.guildonline.net. Looking for a career? Then look up QUT's career and employment services. What you needA tax file number A tax file number (TFN) is a unique number issued by the Australian Taxation Office for each taxpayer. If you do not have a tax file number, application for the same should be made at the Australian Taxation Office. A resume or curriculum vitae Your resume is the first encounter an employee will have with you. It is important to make your resume concise and positive. A resume is a self-marketing document which can assist with you gaining an interview. Putting your resume together is also great preparation for the job interview. Your resume allows you to be familiar with your previous work history and to know yourself better. For help in putting together your resume see: Fairworkinformation and advice about Australia’s new national workplace relations system from the Fair Work Ombudsman. You’ll also find links to Fair Work Australia - the national workplace relations tribunal.
