We Match Your Personality Type to Summer Jobs That Are Hiring Now

Get your applications in and start earning that coin!

The very thought of submitting a resume might make you sweat—and even if it ain’t your first rodeo, finding a job can be daunting.

Everyone has their own skillset to bring to the table, so we’ve taken this into consideration and compiled a list of jobs that will suit you. And best of all—they’re hiring now!

For the foodies, creatives, and perfectionists.

Do you have a way with flavour? Can you work under pressure? Do you get satisfaction from creating a finished product? Do you have an eye for detail?

You might enjoy working in the kitchen and serving up masterpieces to hungry customers.

Earn some dough this summer at Dominos, where they offer great training and development opportunities. What's more, is if you apply now you're entered into a $1,000 prize pool—one lucky applicant will receive a year's worth of free pizza and a Nintendo Switch! That's an offer you can't 'top'.

Roll’d is currently accepting applications, and if you apply through Student Edge you are guaranteed an interview! That’s half the hard work done.

Chatime is a great choice for the bubble tea lovers out there. With an endless menu of flavours and toppings, you’ll never get bored brewing. Btw, you can grab 2 for $9.50 regular fruity/milky iced teas at your nearest Chatime store if all this job hunting is making you thirsty.

Who doesn’t love a burger? At Grill’d, not only will you make some tasty treats but you’ll love eating ‘em too. The team at Student Edge recently tried Grill’d’s new "Impossible Burger" and refused to believe it wasn’t a meat patty. Take a look!

For the introverts.

Would you prefer to work somewhere less customer-facing? Do you have a bit less social energy to burn? Do you enjoy being in comfortable environments?

We’ve got a couple of jobs for you which require minimal social interaction. An introvert’s dream.

At Linear you can be paid to be a Medical Researcher by participating in clinical trials. You’ll be in safe hands with WA’s leading medical institution, The Harry Perkins Institute. On top of being paid you will receive free Wi-Fi, food, and accommodation for overnight stay short term trials. All while saving lives.

AuzBeanie is looking for an Online Sales Assistant so you can work from the comfort of your own home. The awesome local business in Warragul, Victoria supports those affected by bushfires by selling beanies. But hurry! Applications close 1 December 2021.

For the friendly extroverts.

Do you love interacting with people? Are you chatty? Do you enjoy helping others?

Supermarkets are a great place to put your people skills to work. If you’re working at the checkouts, it’s 100 per cent customer facing, and you’ll have some epic conversations with people from all walks of life. Otherwise, there’s lots of jobs in the back end which might be more your cup of tea.

Coles is always looking for young people and it’s a great place for your first job.

IGA also doesn’t require experience and is frequently hiring.

For the passionate experts.

Do you have a niche in a particular area, like tech or shoes? Do you enjoy talking about products you’re passionate about? Are you good at retaining knowledge?

There are some fantastic retail stores where the employees are always packed to the brim with specific knowledge on the latest products.

Foot Locker is a specialty shoe shop which provides training to employees on the latest and trendiest swag for your feet. If you’re already someone who can’t stop talking about Jordan’s or Reebok’s, the floor is yours.

JB Hi-Fi always has the friendliest and most upbeat staff members, who love to have a yarn about the latest iPhone or video game release. This TikTok pretty much encapsulates it.
