Casual job - Is it easy to get it in Brisbane ?

[reza]

Hi

Good day

I am a civil engineer with construction experience. I am planning to move to Brisbane in a couple of weeks on 176 PR.

I know securing a job in my field would be a little bit difficult at the beginning and it may take time for me to get a job in Civil Engineering. In the other side, as far as I understand, living expenses are very high in Australia. So, I am planning to get a casual job ( any sort of job such as working in restaurant, super markets ) as soon as I arrive and carry on until I get a job in my profession.

Now my question is, given that I have never visited Australia before is it possible to get a job in the first week ?

Then how would I get that job ? Should I go in person to employers and speak to them?

How much do they give for those jobs ?

Thanks for your help in advance

Regards

I would think you could pick up a casual job in Brisbane. When we first moved over here my wife found plenty of work do "Tele Sales" and working in call centers , not brilliant pay, but at least it was something.

Usually advertised in local papers, She did around 10 hours a week. ( a lot ask you how long you want to work) and could get anything up to $200, depending on the type of sales. Some (Like Insurance companies) offer a basic and commission, others are commission only. Keep a look out in the local papers that is where you will normally find the casual work.
