btw sorry for the use of the word 'bitch', i hope nobody's offended. It's just that i've seen too much discrimination in workplaces from my experience...

Another Suggestion would be to work at one of the supermarkets e.g. Coles, Woolworths, ALDI, etc.

From experience, working at woolworths is a very easy job to get into, (as they hire people with no experience whatsoever), and pays more than reasonable compared to fast food outlets. Considering you have just finished school, they will not require a resume, but simply a school report stating how you are/were as a student and the kind of grades you achieved throughout the semester (IMO pick a good report)

Here is where you can apply for jobs, depending on whether their are vacancies available in your area;

In terms of a money perspective, Bunnings pays the best.
