Jobs, why is it so difficult?

[Jack91]

I've got a job at the moment, but my hours are starting to die down, last week I had 2 days off and this week I had today and half of tomorrow off. Usually that would be great, except I dont get paid for it. I've had alot of jobs, and this one is the best, but I dont think I'll have it for much longer. A while ago when jobhunting I rang around about 100 places asking about just doing volounteer work to get a foot in the door, but they all say the same thing about insurance. So I cant get a better job without experience, but I cant get experience because they go on about insurance if I hurt myself. So what insurance are they talking about? Do i have to get life insurance or what do I have to do so that it's all good for them and I can at least learn a few things? It's not like I wanted to work out the mines or anything, even when I was calling computer repair stores it was the same deal with the insurance. Does anyone know what they're talking about and a way around it?

EDIT - I do remember that if I was getting some sort of centrelink that would be a way around it, but I cant qualify for that either. I think they said something about a "health care card"
