I will be studying computer science for two years starting from july 2006 and I am ready to do any kind of job which will help me cover my living expenses (20 hours a week). Some people say that it is difficult to find a job in melbourne and I am really scared.
Please provide me with some information about student jobs in Melbourne. you can also use my email address alem_traveller@yahoo.com. thank you in advance.

Melbourne is reasonable to find jobs in. Unemployment is low in Victoria although not as low as Brisbane, Perth or Canberra.
Melbourne Exchange allows students to advertise seeking parttime work.

The university may be able to help you out. For example the University of Melbourne has a section for students on its website.

The Australian Government has a jobsearch agency. I would provide a link but it is down at the moment.
My career offers free job alerts here.

Sure you can, the best place I can think of is the University. I did my Masters in University of Melbourne in 1998-1999 and I got a job as a tutor in the Uni. They pay well and you can concentrate on your studies as well. The pay was enough for me to cover my living expenses.
Alternatively you can find jobs in Coles or at McDonalds as someone else suggested. But the Uni is the best bet.

So long as you have the correct visa to work in Australia, you will be able to find work in Melbourne.
You have to have the right attitude, and that is that when you need money, work is work. McDonald's, KC, supermarkets etc always need workers and often have a high turn over of staff.
Good luck.

Inner city living is quite expensive. Jobs are not that difficult to find, depending on your qualifications. If not too fussed about where you work, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants that are always eager to employ new staff! Good luck!

start checking the local newspaper. look for nanny postions that offer live in stay. also look for roommates near your campus that will share the rent. check local shelters. find out if you have a family that lives near there,. there also a lot of government grants that will pay your rent or most of the home puschures

as long as you're not fussy about what you do you should be right. depending on where you're studing you can always pick mushrooms in mernda. i know that a lot of students work there.the agency that gets the staff is called 'one force' and another one is 'westaff' they're always advertising. good luck.
