Do you know...

That as an international student you have 48hours a fortnight work right during school term and unlimited work hours during breaks and school holidays?
The income from this can be used to support your living expenses while studying if you decide to.

In preparing for a work life while studying you will need to…

Apply for a tax file number. This identifies you in the tax and superannuation system and it is totally free.
Open a bank account. The acceptable form of ID’s include; international passport, birth certificate, school ID card, health insurance card, driver’s licence etc.
Get all the trainings and clearances sorted once you are ready.
Prepare your resume and CV to market yourself.
Go on job websites, call companies within your local area to find out if they’re recruiting, walk into companies to ask the front desk information about their recruitment process.
