Hi.

Im a part time employee for a cleaning company that has lost their contract for a medical centre site.

The hours were 18 hours a fortnight.

I haven't heard from my employer about any other job sites they can place me in.

I was wondering if they still have to pay me 18 hours regardless of the loss of the medical site?.

Thank you in advance

Hi everyone. Please don't be mean to me about this - it is something that genuinely keeps me up at night and I feel like I am about to explode regularly 🙃 I am looking for advice or direction on where to work while studying.

I am a full time university student in Sydney and have been working at McDonald's as a crew coach for 2 years with a cluster of dynamic physical and mental disabilities. I have been on DSP in the past and also have NDIS which hasn't been particularly useful. I have 10+ years of hospitality experience in bars, restaurants, fast food, etc.

I am desperate to leave Maccas because it is so physically and mentally taxing on me (multiple dislocations, neurological symptoms, etc.) while expecting a lot from me despite my disability disclosures (I can't get shifts covered if I have sudden health flares because I'm often the only one capable of and available for certain responsibilities). However I have no idea what other jobs would have similar flexibility and is less physical.

I have a degree with 1st class honours in medical science so I could do lab assistance or clinical reception - but they all seem to be full time or require professional experience. My current degree is in Animal and Veterinary Bioscience and I have a cert II in Animal Care (placement done in a vet clinic where I interned as a vet nurse). But I have looked into work in those fields and they mainly don't align with my availability. Is there anything like entry level data entry or statistical analysis that isn't just AI machine learning?

I also don't think I'm eligible for DSP while doing uni full-time and changing to part-time is just not an option for me because I'm 25 and want to get into vetmed. I want to graduate before I'm 40 lmao!

I'm so sorry to complain and I understand I could be in a much worse situation. I am just incredibly stressed and clueless and would appreciate some guidance/ideas.

I’ve been applying for jobs since February, 3 months before my contract was due to expire. It’s now July and I’m unemployed. I’ve probably applied for 100 roles at this point, I’ve had my CV checked over, I put time and effort into every cover letter, and I’ve had zero callbacks. I knew the job market was cooked but I’ve never had this much trouble finding a role in the history of my career.

Is there something I should be considering that I’m currently not? I’m not being picky with roles. I’m applying for roles that are technically below my level, because money is better than no money. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and it’s stressful as fuck.

My manager keeps presenting my projects as her own in meetings with senior leadership. I've mentioned it casually but nothing's changed. Do I push back harder or just document everything and find a new team?

Hi I'm 19 I have an interview tommorrow at chemist warehouse, i'm wondering how the interview goes and how the hring process is after, and what questions are asked ususally its just for a full time pharmacy assistant. I do have expereince in retail and over 4 years in fast food. I hope someone can answer my questions to make me feel better about the interview tommorrow

I'm not sure if this is the best subreddit to post on, but I figured I'd post and see if anyone can steer me in the right direction. I'm on a WHV and I've been in Sydney for almost 2 months now. I haven't been able to secure a job despite tons of applications and reaching out to recruiters, even asking people I know. My finances are getting scarily low as I wasn't able to move here with more (not the smartest move, I know). I didn't realize how tough it would be and I'm genuinely not sure what to do.

32F in Perth (NOR) looking for some career ideas after being made redundant from a long-term marketing/design role.

I’ve spent 10+ years in digital marketing, graphic design, websites, CRM systems etc, but I’m not convinced traditional marketing is where I want to stay long term given AI and how saturated it’s become.

Note, I have no qualifications and it was all learnt on the job. I’d be happy doing a 6 month tafe course FT.

I’m open to entry-level roles, traineeships or industries that provide training. I’d rather take a lower salary to build a stable career in something I genuinely enjoy and can grow in over the years. I’m not a job hopper and have preference finding a place to stay long term.

Things I enjoy:
Creating/designing/building things
Problem solving with clear outcomes
Working independently with some variety
A mix of desk work and being out and about (but not constant travel if it means finishing up at 5pm in a suburb an hour away from home)
Structured, Monday-Friday environments
Early starts and early finishes (6am/7am starts)
Would love WFH (even 1 day a week) but understand it’s not as common as it once was

Things I’d prefer to avoid:
Heavy cold calling or phone-based customer service
Medical or legal fields
Long commutes south of the river

I’m based NOR, so ideally looking at Yanchep, Neerabup, Joondalup, Wangara, Osborne Park, Perth CBD (no further) and surrounding areas.

What careers, industries or specific job titles would you suggest that I might not have considered? Keen to hear from people who’ve made a similar pivot or started fresh in their 30s.

Im an audiologist with a heavily sales focused role. Im tired of the daily grind. I want to take a 6m break and focus on myself and kids and figure out what I want to do for next 20 years. Is it stupid in this economy to go down to 1 salary and potentially not get a job back after 6 months. Considering I have been trying a Lil bit for a new job for 2 years and haven't really found something I like. Also less opportunities in Perth overall for audiologists.

G'day gents. I'm an overseas qualified cabinet maker, worked in Australia since I came in 2 different aspects. One being cabinetry for about 2 years and 2 years for commercial carpentry projects mainly on installing handrails and balustrades. I've got WWCC, Forklift, Working Safely at Heights, Confined Space Entry, EWP under 11m, a manual ute, all the toolset required for the cabinetry and great work ethic/punctuality. I've also got a TA experience for a Fire Sprinkler Fitter field for about 8 months in a tunnel environment doing all sorts of TA work.

What should I do? To be frank, I only care about getting a trade qualification here in Australia. I've chosen plumbing as it's a recession proof occupation. Should I do pre app? Should I rely on the contacts of the instructors at Tafe if I perform the best? How would I eliminate the fact that I have to be paid higher as I'm a mature age candidate?

Is there any good job agencies for IT roles trying to find an entry level 1 help desk,

Why is every job ad like this? It sounds miserable. All that tells me is you're going to be overworked and doing the job of 3 people. Yet, they all say it like it's a good thing. Been like this for as long as I can remember...

I (mid-20s) started working at the Sydney office of a large international company, and our direct manager for the Asia-Pacific region is based in Manila. There isn't any local management in Sydney—everyone is basically on the same level, except for Junior and Associate titles.

The official company policy allowed employees to work from home up to two days a week.

When I joined, I quickly noticed something strange. Some of the senior employees were almost never in the office. Later I found out they had been exploiting the lack of local management. Apparently, some of them would work remotely almost the entire week, and coworkers who were in the office would swipe their access cards for them so it looked like they had physically come in. Since our manager was overseas, he couldn't easily verify who was actually present (He only had access to the access logs, he couldn't see the actual CCTV or other physical evidence).

The thing is—I had absolutely no idea this was happening.

As a new hire, I thought the attendance pattern was just... odd. I even asked a few senior coworkers about it, but they gave vague answers and never told me what was really going on.
But honestly, if they simply said, "Hey, this is how we've been doing things, please don't mention it to management" I honestly probably would've just stayed out of it.

About a month or two later, my manager scheduled a one-on-one video call with me. We normally had fortnightly check-ins anyway, so I didn't think much of it.

During the conversation, he casually asked how I was settling in and how things were going with my coworkers. I answered honestly. I said something along the lines of:
"Everyone seems nice, but I wish I had more opportunities to interact with the team because people don't seem to be in the office very often."

I wasn't trying to report anyone. I genuinely thought I was giving feedback about my onboarding experience.

The following Monday, almost everyone suddenly showed up in the office. Then they were there five days a week.

It became pretty obvious that management had cracked down on attendance.

After that, things changed for me.

My mentor basically stopped talking to me, moved their workstation away from mine, and I felt like several coworkers started avoiding me. Since I was still new, losing that support made it much harder to ask questions or learn the job. I became increasingly anxious at work, my performance suffered, and months later I ended up on a Performance Improvement Plan before eventually losing my job.

Looking back, I understand why my coworkers might have assumed I "snitched," but I genuinely didn't know there was an arrangement to protect. I wasn't trying to get anyone into trouble—I just answered my manager's questions honestly because I thought he was asking about my onboarding experience.

I'm asking this coming off the back of being rejected from >200 jobs from seek. These jobs always pose stupid requirements like "must have x years of experience" for a basic retail job, or "must have a full license and car" for a tutoring job (I'm literally trying to GET A JOB TO BUY A CAR HOW DOES THAT WORK, why can't L plates or ptv suffice as long as I ensure I get there promptly), or the worst type is easily is the jobs that pay you minimum wage but put 20 different interview stages just to reject you at stage like 18/20, like it is not that serious.

Recently I started uni in 2026 so I've been searching for a casual job, but it feels like because I'm 18 employers don't want me essentially because "18 =inexperienced and a liability since they aren't trained and we can't rip off because we're forced to pay them adult wages" so unlike a lot of my peers who had their jobs prior to 18 (primarily in the restaurant/ fast food industry) these just don't want to hire. And it also feels like 18 is too young for more professional entry-level jobs like being an accountants payable manager or such (I'm currently studying Law and Commerce at University, majoring in Accounting for my comm degree) so I'm genuinely unsure what jobs to even apply for.

I currently tutor students from my old HS (3 students, 5hr/ week) but because of things like school holidays and student timetables sometimes their need for tutoring fluctuates and I'm left with literally 0 income (basically guaranteed for a couple months/ year because of school holidays) so I'm not too sure what job to even seek out anymore, or how to do so. Even with tutoring experience and technical hospitality experience (volunteering at an essentially impromptu cafeteria for the homeless) I'm getting rejected from tutoring jobs and the hospitality industry.

Sorry if this post gets a bit rant-y but I'm genuinely clueless on what to do now given the quantity of jobs I've applied for and only hearing back from about as many jobs as I can count on my fingers, just to get rejected on the next step and not even make it to an interview.

Just curious what others are seeing in the current job market in Australia. From my experience, June is usually quite slow due to EOFY and budget closures.
I’ve noticed that hiring sometimes starts picking up again from mid July once new financial year budgets kick in.
For those actively applying right now are you seeing any change in response rates or interview calls compared to June?
Would be good to hear real experiences ppl.

Simple question. Slightly subjective answers expected. How does 80k per year rank for a graduate project manager?
