Any suitable jobs for someone who worked in hospitality for a few years and now working in a call centre fulltime but would like work extra hours 10-15 hours preferred just an extra $200.

Any suitable jobs that would suit me? That i can apply for in Parramatta?

How would we know, why not try looking everywhere else first? I.e. seek, careerone, jobsearch (maybe not, they are for dole bludgers), newspapers, mycareer, etc. I doubt many people here could help u

Careerone and online job boards are useless, unless you want to wait months for a job. You should try visiting places that you would like to work with your resume and ask to speak to the manager/hr department/recruitment officer

in the end, perseverance is the key

Goodluck

I don't think that's true. I got my job within a week or two of applying on one. It varies though, some only take a couple of days to reply but some can take over a month

I'm only going on statistics and what's actually happened to me. My 2 most previous jobs both took 6 months from online application to the actual job-offer. I know for some people it can take something like a week or two (but truthfully, this is pretty rare).
I think the whole online job application system is terribly inefficient, employers have hundreds and sometimes thousands of applications to search through and the truth is that some will never even take a look at your resume.
I think the smaller the company the greater the chance of being given an interview from an online application. Therefore if you want to apply somewhere, try your local supermarket before you go to the Coles Myer or Woolworths websites.

I'm not trying to be negative, only realistic, I hope you're able to get another job soon, so goodluck.

THat's very vague though, I might as well say just look for call centres, cafes and bars. There are like thousands of those around. Why not just walk around parra and if you see a place you like, ask if there are any jobs?

I don't know If you'd be interested, but I saw Parra Subway on Church St was hiring part-timers.

That's the only way to do it, LaZy_KoReAn. I know it's... well.. easy to be LaZy, but it's rare that people will just walk up to you and give you a job. Gotta hunt it down and work out what sort of people they hire and decide if it's you and then prove it and then maintain it...

Suggestions for office jobs: offices. Engineers, law firms/solicitors (maybe...) architects, physiotherapists, doctors, car salesplaces, the list goes on and on and on. Just gotta open your eyes and opportunities are all around you.
