【答案解析】[听力原文]
Today I"m going to talk about where to look for a job in Australia. Your method of job hunting obviously depends on your circumstances, experience and qualifications, and the sort of job you"re seeking.
First, you may obtain copies of Australian daily newspapers, all of which contain "positions vacant" sections, including job advertisements dedicated to particular industries or professions on certain days. Most local and national newspapers are available in the reading rooms of local libraries in Australia, so you don"t usually need to buy them. Jobs are also advertised in industry and trade newspapers and magazines. Australian newspapers are available in some countries from international news agencies, as well as in Australian embassies and consulates.
By networking, you may get together with like-minded people to discuss business, and it is a popular way of making business and professional contacts in Australia. It can be particularly successful for executives, managers and professionals when job hunting.
You may apply to international and national recruiting agencies acting for Australian companies. Agencies mainly recruit executives and key managerial and technical staff, and some have offices overseas, for example, in the UK.
You may place an advertisement in the "situations wanted" section of a national newspaper in Australia or a local newspaper in the area where you wish to work. If you"re a member of a recognized profession or trade, you could place an advertisement in a newspaper or magazine dedicated to your profession or a particular industry.
One effective way is to ask acquaintances, friends and relatives working in Australia whether they know of an employer looking for someone with your experience and qualifications. If you"re already in Australia, contact or join expatriate groups, professional organizations, social clubs and societies, particularly local ones.
The most effective way, according to my experience, is to apply in person to Australian companies. Always obtain a job offer in writing and a contract; steer clear of an employer who won"t provide them. An official job entitles you to accident insurance, official protection from exploitation, redundancy payments, state pension, superannuation and unemployment benefit, among others. Your best chance of obtaining some jobs in Australia is to apply in person, when success is often simply a matter of being in the right place at the right time. When looking for a job for which no special qualifications or experience are required, it isn"t necessarily what you know, but who you know.
Many companies don"t advertise but rely on attracting workers by word of mouth and their own vacancy boards. Always leave your name and address with a prospective employer and a telephone number where you can be contacted, particularly if a job may become vacant at short notice. Advertise the fact that you"re looking for a job with acquaintances, friends and relatives, and anyone you come into contact with who may be able to help.
Job hunting may depend on several things according to the talk. Which of the following is NOT one of these things?
