Employment

Being employed, means you are paid by someone else for doing a job. Depending on the type of job you apply for, the hours you will work will change. Usually jobs are either:

  • full time (working 35 to 40 hours a week)
  • part time (working less than 35 hours a week)
  • flexible (working hours to suit you)
  • casual work (you can pick and choose when you work).
