Tips on finding a casual job??

Hi guys,

I'm studying and looking for casual work. But it's frustrating and even though there's heaps of things aside from work to do, getting a job would make my streak go better!

Anyone want to share some good ideas or experiences on getting a job with 10-25 hours a week?

All I have so far:

-Complete a presentable one page resume
-Write a custom cover letter for each job
-Thank employers for their time in a cover letter, or over the phone/in person
-Try to attract the position (heaps of unqualified people get good jobs just networking)

I also want to walk into businesses and drop off my resume/introduce myself. But self-confidence is holding me back...

 

I'm looking for general hospitality or admin mainly.

I checked out housekeeping jobs recently, there seem to be a few companies around me, but they prefer to hire couples or two people who live and work together at least. I've heard it's good money though, so will see what comes up!

I've done some hospo but did have a problem with rejection. Long story short had a few trial shifts with positive feed back that went nowhere in the end.. But you're right it's a numbers game and I can put a lot more applications out there, cold call etc. Nobody will knock on my door with a job lol!
