JAMIE MILLARD 21, from UK
What job did you have at home? I was an entertainer in a holiday resort in France in summer and I worked in a clothes shop in winter.
Where do you work? I work as a DJ and karaoke host. I do it all over Sydney.
How did you hear about this job? A friend got me into it; he saw it advertised in a magazine.
Three words to describe your job? Too much fun.
Do you meet many interesting people? I meet all types of people, from the courageous, to the pissheads – after a few drinks everyone thinks they’re Robbie Williams or Joss Stone.
What are the good points of your job? Lots of free drink, food and the occasional phone number.
Are there any bad points with your job? Highly intoxicated people who think they are Pop Idol winners. Oh please!
Do you have any funny stories to tell about your job? Me and my mate did a private gig in Darling Harbour, during which we got the whole restaurant, including passers-by, police officers and people in the queue, singing “Summer Nights” from Grease. Classic!
Do you see this job as a career? Yes. But I’m sure TV presenting is not too far away.
What wage are you on? I get $120 per gig, which can range from four to eight hours.
What are you doing with the money you earn here? To fund my travels around Oz.
What are you going to do when you get home? I’m going to out-do Robbie Williams and conquer the USA with my voice. http://www.jobsearchdownunder.com/[Search live jobs now]
