After finishing University and not having been offered a job, I unashamedly turned to Centrelink to pay me while I kept looking. As part of being on my particular payment, I had to attend an employment solutions office where I can get help and support on how and where to go about looking for a job.
Having been referred to Mission Australia by Centrelink, I was very underwhelmed. The office itself looks a little dodgy and there was a few interesting people waiting out the front for the doors to open. However, the man who conducted my interview was very nice and seemed to have gone through the process numerous times before. He explained everything that we needed to fill out and hand in and then organised a follow up appointment in the instance that I still found myself unemployed.
He also said that everyone who is member with them has access to South Australian and national job guides, internet and printing facilities which is really great and can go a long way to help improve one's chance of getting a job. read more
