There's lots of web sites that advertise work Cherry, even some links on the forum but first thing you need is a visa that allows work or you can find yourself in trouble.

What type of visa did you get to come to Australia?

Wanderer,thank you very much for your advice.I have a visa that allows work,and about half and one year later,I will get the permanent residence.I would like to find a job that will help my language a lot,but you know,I am not familiar with the web sites and others.I know the seek and mycareer,but I think my spoken English is not good enough to do these work well.I hope I will find a job such as in a restarant or cafe.Please give some advice or some web sites.Thanks again.

Sydney you may have already discovered has its Chinatown with quite a few restaurants there and others scattered about Sydney, so good opportunity there to practice english as many english speaking people also like the Australian restaurant Chinese style food.

There's also a few Japanese restaurants about but far less in number, and for restaurant work I'd think going and asking will be the best approach.

If your Japanese writing and interpretation skills are reasonable enough, I'd just go searching the internet for companies that have Japanese trade exposure and also same applies re Chinese - just start googling and you'll become familiar quick enough, make some enquiries and you may pick up some translating/interpretation work.

To do it for official documentation, you do however need recognised qualifications in that area.

To do translations you will need some qualification like NATI. It could be worthwhile taking the exam.

Try the casino also as I am sure they need Japanese/Chinese speakers and they might pay better than your average restaurant. Jobs for cafes and restaurants are usually passed on by word of mouth, so it is probably better just to visit them directly during their quiet time and passing out your resume.

Also try your local government employment office, whatever it is called now as they sometimes have jobs for Chinese speakers.
