88days.work may suit someone who wants to browse contacts by location or industry and choose how to approach each business. Its public site describes phone and email details and encourages calls, texts or emails. If you are already nearby and have a short list, a direct conversation can help you ask practical questions before deciding whether to send a CV.
Visit 88days.work ↗A daily application routine
Plan your daily applications
Set a daily application routine around the employers that fit your search. The Get88 Method can send up to 100 a day where employer availability and Google quota allow. Save the roles and locations you can work in, then review your send count each day.
Prepare a clear CV and message
Lead with relevant experience, your start date, locations and availability. Upload a clear CV and approve an introduction that helps an employer assess your fit.
Contact employers before an advert
Ask suitable employers about current or upcoming work without waiting for a public listing. Your enquiry can reach them before they publish an ad; a contact does not confirm a vacancy.
Build a routine you can repeat
Approve your message and CV, connect Gmail and start applications. get88 schedules separate emails; you handle replies and follow-ups. Campaigns with the Get88 Method last six weeks, with manual restarts at no extra cost.
How the two work
| Feature | get88 | 88days.work |
|---|---|---|
| Find work | Available regional contacts selected around saved work and location preferences. | A contact directory with location, industry and map browsing described on the public site. |
| Contact method | Individual emails from your connected Gmail. | Choose to call, text or email the published contact yourself. |
| Sending effort | Approve the introduction and let the campaign handle scheduled email sending. | The public workflow asks the applicant to contact employers directly. |
| CV attachment | Attach the uploaded CV to campaign emails. | Prepare and share your CV through your chosen contact channel when appropriate. |
| Follow-up | Manage replies in Gmail. | Manage the call, text or email conversation yourself. |
| Hiring certainty | Contacts do not establish current vacancies or a job outcome. | The site describes an independent directory and does not guarantee a job or visa outcome. |
The differences that matter
A phone-first search can suit a small local shortlist
If you can reach a few employers today, you may want to ask who handles hiring, whether work is available and when a CV would be useful. 88days.work's site describes employer phone numbers and emails and leaves the contact method to you. get88 Automation focuses on prepared email introductions; you can still call an employer yourself when a conversation needs it.
The directory and the sending routine solve separate tasks
With 88days.work, plan the calls, messages or emails you will make from the directory. With get88, prepare and approve your CV and introduction once before starting a daily campaign to suitable contacts. Keep a separate daily slot for replies and useful calls, so you continue the search without rebuilding the sending routine each time.
Check relevance before you compare list sizes
The useful list is the one that covers the work and places you can accept. We did not audit either roster for size, duplicate contacts, current mailboxes or hiring needs. Browse the available coverage first and ask employers what is open now rather than treating a displayed contact as proof of a job.
Run a daily email campaign and call selected employers
Choose your work, regions and start date, then check get88's available employer contacts. Prepare a relevant CV and a clear introduction with your availability.
Approve the application, connect Gmail and start daily individual-email outreach within your plan's capacity and suitable contact availability.
Use 88days.work to identify separate local leads where a call or text would help. Ask about current work and the employer's preferred application route.
Answer replies and make selected calls on a daily routine, recording the employer and next step. Improve unclear application details and confirm the actual duties and workplace before committing.

Current get88 terms
Sending requires Gmail. Employer availability and Google quota affect how many applications go out.
The Get88 Method
A$49 AUD once. No subscription or renewal.
Apply to regional employers without sending each email yourself. get88 sends your approved message and CV from your Gmail, up to 100 applications a day during a six-week campaign. You get lifetime roster access and can manually start another campaign at no extra cost.
Questions before you choose
Does 88days.work provide direct employer contact details?
Its public site describes regional business phone numbers and emails and a workflow where you contact employers yourself. We did not audit the directory's individual contacts or mailbox availability.
Does get88 make calls or send SMS for me?
No. get88 Automation sends separate emails with your CV from connected Gmail. You manage employer conversations and can make your own calls when useful.
Which approach fits an urgent search in a town I am already visiting?
For a few nearby employers, calling can help you clarify availability and the application route quickly. If you want to contact a wider set of covered employers, a get88 email campaign can run alongside that shortlist. Neither approach promises an immediate response or a job.
