Don't tryin be picky when applying for your first job...
If you're too selective about what you want and have no work experience, generally it'll be difficult to find one...
Apply for any and every job that appeals to you!
But tryin avoid the fast food chains :p Eg Maccas, KFC, Hungry Jacks etc...

Anywhere. Just having the experience on your resume is more important than where you did it.

Bah what a load of bullshit! This is their hiring period. Make sure you ask to speak to the manager & not just one of their stupid staff who don't know what's going on. And go *everywhere* (even places you think you have no chance, you never know!)... you might have to do 2 rounds just to show you're keen.

^^ i was JUST about to post - make sure you see the manager, give the resume to them. if you don't, you can count that a wasted sheet of paper. the people working there don't care about you, they want to keep their job as well- they might throw your resume in the bin or just forget about it.

If they don't call you by the 24th, give them a buzz.
