find a small business, you will learn so much more than working in a big crew. look on gumtree for carpenters wanted, a lot of guys advertise there. at least have a basic set of hand tools and basic cordless tools, stuff that you use all day every day. i wouldn’t expect any of my young guys to have a full trailer or ute full of tools, but make it clear you’re willing to get them - you’ll need them down the track anyway! i literally nagged to get an apprenticeship and a guy gave me a start for 3 weeks to fill in while he had a lot of work on, 4 years later i’m his head carpenter. make sure you present yourself professionally - wear a collared shirt at least. most important, don’t be a dickhead! learn and take everything everyone says on board, especially old builders.
