Best Opportunities
If you have an RSA certificate for the state of NSW, you are in luck, the prospects of finding and keeping a job are excellent. Some of the busiest places to land a job, whether as a career, or a part-time gig, are in the cities tourist hotspots. If you have little experience your best chances however are away from the really hot spots in the suburbs just listed.
The Eastern Suburbs, for instance, are home to the world-famous Bondi Beach. Both Sydneysiders and tourists alike are drawn to the beach during summer and finding a part-time placement in the many cafes and pubs is often much easier.
The Inner West area of Greater Sydney has an eclectic air, with inexpensive diners and pubs that make it the favorite with budget-conscious students. Ideal for those seeking a temporary job at its many eateries, particularly students who want to moonlight at the bars to supplement their incomes.
From September to January catering companies also hit high gear. These jobs are often staffed with the help of recruitment agencies who usually struggle to find experienced people so opportunities for people with no experience but a valid RSA certificate are also available.
