Career Tips
Students looking for part-time work will require two important documents:
- Resume`
There are many web-based sites that will assist in the development of a resume suitable for seeking employment. Simply Google resume` and look for a style that suits you. Another good source is the Career Centre web page http://www.careercentre.dtwd.wa.gov.au/Pages/CareerCentre.aspx. Go to Tools & Resources then Resume Builder. Here you will find an easy to use template that can be filled out and then one of five different formats can be selected.
- Tax File Number (TFN)
A tax file number is required by all employees to prevent too much tax being withheld from their pay. Secondary School students can obtain a TFN application form through their school by contacting the Careers Adviser (Mr Peter Frusher), completing the application form and returning it to the Careers Adviser. This process is much easier than applying directly to the Australian Tax Office.
