I want to have a job.
It's been almost 2 month since I arrived in Austrlia on a working holiday visa.
There was a big holiday with Christmas and New Years, so lots of shops were closed for a while.
I've distributed my cv and cover letter to Brisbane CBD, West end, South Bank and Spring Hill.
I've also applied for online via gumtree, seeks.com etc..
At the beginning of the year I got my first job trial at the car wash.
I passed the trial and was allowed to work more but I quit because the work environment was so harsh.
There was no shade and the sun was very intense.
There was no time to rest.
I moved as fast as I could but the manager urged me to move faster.
So I just quit after 3 hours.
My face, neck and arms were burned and I had lots of pain at my waist.
They treated me like a slave. It was so unbelievable.
My second job trial was a kitchen hand at a restaurant which is located in CBD.
Fortunately I passed the job trial but my shift is just 5 hours per week.
My shift will increase but I had to find a second job.
After 1 week, I came into work and the head chef fired me.
Their business was quiet, so the owner wanted to reduce the hours.
The head chef forgot to call me, so I got fired without notice.
It was so humiliating, but I couldn't do anything.
Now I'm starting to find a job again and hope to get a full time or casual job that allows me work more than 30 hrs per week.
So gloomy month...
I wish you all the luck!
