How to be employed in anything other than fastfood? (1 Viewer)

[Tha_Crossroads]

Not that i dont want to work in fastfood industry i.e. maccas, subway, but I already did, and I want to work somewhere else
e.g. coles, restuarant, cafe or even retail u get the idea
But its difficult finding positions for these online, let alone applying for them.

Can anyone who currently work in one of the above, or similar share their experience?
I mean, here are just some of my questions
-When did you apply i.e. approximate age, and time of year?
-what skills/qualifications did you have,
-who did you know that got you into the job

And does handing in resume straight to managers, for local businesses still work? I might try that instead


THANKS SO MUCH FOR ANY COMMENT !

Without ever working in a cafe myself but having friends who did, a lot of them aren't big enough to have a website running. The owner may have their email address listed somewhere but realistically your best bet is to walk up to the respective cafe/restaurant and ask them if they are hiring. Or just look on the windows for a vacancy advertisement.

THnx^

How about stores like coles? i heard they are independantly owned, would it be better to apply instore, instead of online process?
