Welcome to our community and thanks for your question, Yeshiwondm!
As a future postgraduate student in Australia, there are several ways you can connect with employers for part-time work while studying:
1. Start with Your University’s Career Services – Most universities in Australia offer job boards, career counselling, and employer networking events tailored to students. Be sure to use these resources once you arrive.
2. Use Job Search Websites – Here are the best websites to find part-time or casual jobs:
https://gumtree.com.au (look under the “Jobs” section for casual or local work)
3. Retail, Hospitality and On-Campus Jobs – Common industries for student work include cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, retail stores, and university facilities (like libraries or admin roles).
4. LinkedIn Networking – Optimise your LinkedIn profile to stand out to employers. Here’s a helpful guide: 15 Expert Tips to Get Noticed by Australian Recruiters on LinkedIn – available at https://482jobs.com/15-expert-tips-to-get-noticed-by-australian-recruiters-on-linkedin
5. Upload Your Resume – You can also upload your resume to https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/. Australian recruiters often search our resume database to find candidates for part-time or full-time roles.
Important visa note: If you’re on a student visa, you can usually work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study periods, and unlimited hours during semester breaks.
A Working Holiday visa is a different option and not generally suitable for students – it’s mostly for people aged 18–30 coming for travel and short-term work.
I hope this helps get you started! If you have more questions about visas or work rights, feel free to ask.
