Good for CV not on your pocket. The good thingsGood to gain experience in nursing, research & allied health. Good for CV. Full of amazing & helpful staff. They will ease off the pressure a bit and make work enjoyable and bearable as each task is time pressured. Opportunity to meet people from all over the world.
The challengesSeasonal work only with busy periods & months where there is no work for casuals. Rostered shifts in advance are not a guarantee that you have work and may give you a false sense of security. they tend to cancel a lot during off peak season. It was good in the first few months, then began cutting shifts to 4-5 hours or cancel daily the day before. Hard to pick up shift somewhere else the last minute! Good for students who want to work a few hours per day, good for those living with parents, with no mortgage or serious financial obligations. 70% kitchen hand work serving meals to trial participants, 30% collecting blood or doing ecgs etc. Long wait to get paid. Pay is every 14th of each month from previous month worked. Such a long stretch. Need a lot of savings or a second job as backup.
