I have an internship with both Mojosurf and Loka(a new hop on hop off tour along the east coast of Australia) until March 1st 2015. Because I am only an intern, I receive free accommodation from Mojosurf, and a small weekly allowance from Loka. As I said nearly a month ago, I needed to find another job since I came here with such a small amount of money. Now I have two more.
I applied at the Lazy Italian about two weeks ago, and just heard back from them this week. After talking on the phone to the owner yesterday, I arranged for a trial last night. I got to have my first shift.
The Lazy Italian is a small shop down one of the alley ways in Byron. There are several similar shops that all compete for the business of each person that wanders through, looking for somewhere to eat. Obviously, we serve Italian food, but even better: it's all homemade. Everything. Even the chicken and beef are raised locally.
I only had a 3.5 hour shift yesterday, which went by extremely fast. I was only learning, but everything was pretty easy to grasp. I am basically a hospitality all-a-rounder, mostly taking food orders and serving dishes to patrons.
At the end of my trial, my manager told me that I did a really good job, and asked if I would like to have two more trials this week. I did, of course. She also mentioned that I would be working at their other restaurant right next door, Fishmongers, once I had gotten used to how the Lazy Italian operates.
So what started as one internship in Australia, turned into 4 jobs. Even if I have no life, I am pretty excited to finally feel a bit more financially secure.
