Running out of money in Brisbane, need work asap

[Offtoseethewizard]

Hi,

 

I've come to Brisbane on a 1 year working visa recently, I have lots of accounts payable experience but things are slow at the moment. I've had a few promising meetings with agencies but I don't want to rely solely on accounts work as I may run out of money before anything suitable comes up.

 

Please can anybody help me with suggestions of alternative jobs that I may find easier to get hold of, here's what I'm thinking so far:

 

Farm work - the obvious one but I'm hearing mixed opinions on how easy these jobs are to get, how can I increase my chances of being employed on a farm, is there a place where I can get the numbers for all of the farms around Australia and call them up?

 

Factories - Heading into industrial estates, adapted CV in hand asking if anybody has any work.

 

Advertise myself on Gumtree as a strong, able bodied workhorse willing to do whatever anybody wants, working whatever hours on a low wage.

 

Car / House / Window cleaning - Knock on doors asking if anybody needs anything cleaned, I have no transport and only experience in car cleaning from when I was about 12 but I'm sure I'd be able to wing it and do a decent job at these for a few extra $ to keep me going as a last resort.

 

Any other ideas or advice / opinions on the above would be very much appreciated.

 

Many thanks,

 

Scott

Hi Scott

Id try the industrial areas in and around Brisbane and if you get no joy maybe head North looking for work en route.

 

Hope you find something soon

Hi Cal,

 

Thanks for that, I think I will try that on Monday then as my brother and his friends work in an industrial estate so I can hitch a ride in with them in the morning.

 

Many thanks
