Having difficulty finding work in Sydney since the recession? Especially casual teaching work?

I have just graduated from teaching and I have had trouble getting casual work. I am looking to work in special schools across Sydney. I have had experience with students with additional needs. Anyone else having trouble, is it because of the recession?

1. My nephew just graduated; and he had a bit of trouble at first. It could have a little to do with the recession (eg, older married teachers now returning to teaching), but I think it is a minor thing. Here's what my nephew did: Went to every school within an hour's drive from his home. Asked to see the Principal or deputy, and took with him a copy of his resume. Mentioned that he was looking for casual work, with a view to a full time position (otherwise, they might think you are an itinerant). At first he got a day or two here and there; then a week or two; now he is working full time. Don't be afraid of travelling a bit; and because of your experience; make sure you approach schools in areas where there is a high non-anglo proportion in the population. I would be very surprised if you did not pick up some work.
