“Jobs Near Me” Isn’t Enough, Here’s How to Find a First Job That Actually Suits You

If you’ve ever googled “jobs near me”, you’ve probably ended up with a giant list of jobs that are either too far away, not right for your age, or just not what you're looking for. It’s frustrating. Especially when it’s your first job and you’re not sure where to begin.

That’s exactly why My First Job exists.

We don’t just show you a long list of job ads. We help you find one that fits, based on where you live, when you’re available, and what you're into.

Here’s how it works.

1. We Start With Your Age

Every state and territory has rules about how old you have to be for certain jobs. When you sign up, we take your age into account and only show you what you’re actually allowed to do.

2. Then We Look at Location

Next, you tell us your suburb and how far you're willing to travel, whether that’s 5 km, or more. We only show you jobs that fall within that range. Not the ones across the city. Not the ones you can’t get to after school. Just real opportunities close to home.

3. We Ask When You’re Available

Are you free on weekends? After school?

You tell us your availability, and we match you with jobs that actually suit your schedule. No more scrolling through ads for shifts you can’t take.

3. We Match You to What You're Into

Love helping people? Prefer being active? Into fashion, food, or tech?

Whatever you’re interested in, we use that info to help guide your matches. Because when you’re into the job, you’re more likely to enjoy it and stick with it.

That means fewer dead ends and more real opportunities you can apply for right now.

At My First Job, we make finding a job easier and way more personalised. Whether you’re 13 and just getting started, or 17 and keen to build experience, we’ll help you find work that fits who you are — and where you are.
