When you are an international student you are allowed to work 20 hours a week and full-time during breaks time. It is crucial to follow that rule in order to keep a student visa.
First thing to do when you arrive in Perth is to claim for a tax file number required to work in Australia. Useful link to apply for a tax file number : https://iar.ato.gov.au/iarweb/default.aspx?pid=4&sid=1&outcome=1
Next step:
Make sure your resume is accurate and well presented. Then once your tax file number received ( generally after 3 weeks claim) you can start going in the market and ask for vacancies.
The best place to find a job:
- Restaurants
- Hotels
- Universities
- Offices
I found a job after one week in a restaurant. I’m now working for another restaurant in Victoria Park.
