Venues replied.
Two replies from my own job search. Read what each employer asked for and the next step I needed to take.
Read the first reply full sizeA form and a conversation
The manager thanks us for applying to an advertised position, describes two food-and-beverage / housekeeping all-rounder roles and asks us to return an application form.
“please let me know when a good time is to schedule a quick chat”
The employer wanted the form back and a time for a conversation about the role.
Read the second reply full sizeExperience and transport matter
The cafe owner describes a barista role requiring latte art, dialling in coffee and weighing shots, and says a car is needed to get to work.
The employer was willing to arrange an interview if the applicant had those skills and a car.
The interview depends on those skills and transport. It is a conditional invitation, not a job offer.

Why I built it
I needed my 88 days, same as you.
Three days on Seek and in backpacker Facebook groups, about 10 applications a day, and not one answer.
So I stopped applying through job boards. I put the venues themselves in one table and had it email them from my own Gmail, one message per venue with my CV attached. A hotel manager tried to phone me before I had even replied to her, and I booked the trial before my flight. I took it, and the day after landing in Cairns I did that trial, with a couple more interviews already lined up.
That table is get88.
Marco
get88.au
By hand, or by get88.
The table is useful either way. What changes is how much of it you type yourself.
Turn the table into a campaign.
get88 orders the roster based on your preferences, writes each email in your words, attaches your CV and sends from your Gmail.

Questions
Will this actually get me a job?
Nobody can promise you that, and anyone who does is selling something. What changes is how many employers see you at all. I did about 10 applications a day by hand and heard nothing back. The campaign booked a trial shift before my flight.
Why only 100 a day?
The free tier sends up to 5 employer applications a day until its 100 total credits are used. The Get88 Method sends up to 100 a day during a six-week campaign, subject to the quota Google makes available. Applications go out one at a time, with your approved email and CV. The number sent also depends on which employers are available to contact.
Everyone has this list. Do the venues get hammered?
No. Once a venue is emailed through get88 it is locked for 48 hours, so two people can never land on the same place at once. Everyone also picks their own states, towns and venue types, so campaigns spread out across the whole roster instead of stacking on the same few.
Do I need a Gmail account?
Yes, for the sending. get88 sends through your own Gmail, so venues get the email from your address and their replies land in your inbox. Signing in is separate and takes any email you like.
How did you build this list?
Employer contacts come from published business sources, including official sites and attributable public profiles. We check the business relationship and mail-domain routing where evidence is available, and keep uncertain activity or contact signals visible for review. These checks do not confirm mailbox delivery or a current vacancy.
How do you know the emails work?
Where evidence is available, we check published contact relationships and mail-domain routing. That does not confirm that a mailbox accepts delivery. Uncertain contact signals remain visible for review, and bounced or complained-about addresses are excluded from applications.
Where are the venues?
Across regional Australia. The bigger towns have their own pages. Browse hospitality venues in Cairns, and the rest of the Queensland towns. For 88-day hospitality searches, we check employer locations against the official work areas. Your role and visa conditions still apply; the 417 and 462 Home Affairs pages explain the rules.
