Yes, I am wearing a jumper because it's like,

well... 19 degrees. Cold, up here, very cold. Used to 30, 40 degre heat. Chilly.

Okay, so today I am going to be answering

and that is, How to find work in Australia.

And, first I am going  to kind of bash out some misconseptions

One, A lot of people expect to get a job straight away.

Some people may be lucky enough to just land themselves a job as soon as they land.

But, seriously, it is few and far between.

And why would you want to get a full-time job as soon as you arrive?

When you arrive, go and have run, travel around a bit.

Find your feet and find a place that you want to get a job,

A lot of people stress because they ignore the Government's website when they suggest

It is sufficient and it will keep you going until you find a job.

Also, do not believe companies who say they can guarantee you work because they can not.

So many traveller friends of mine have been scammed by this.

And you have to put upfront fees for this kind of thing,

you should never have to pay for a job, end of.

You never have to your whole life so why do it now?

Lots of companies will take advantage of backpackers,

especially first time travellers who do not believe that

they will be able to get a job without this company's help,

What I'd also give you advice is do not expect to find work in big cities easily.

popular backpacker destination in Australia and competition is bloody high there.

I'm not saying it's impossible to get a job in Sydney, I know lots of travellers who worked in Sydney.

But, it is so difficult compared to other places.

Another piece of advice I'd give is to be prepared to move for work.

As you will probably know, I would have spent, by the time I finished here, about 5 months

Because, there are so many jobs out here,

working in country pubs, restaurants, on a farm, on a property like I am now,

and money isn't great, but they are going to give you lots of hours plus bed and board is normally always included.

So, you can have a two, three stint in the outback,

and then go back to civilization and carry on travelling.

But, of course a lot of backpackers want to stay in a city and work in a city

So, if you want to do that, just be prepared to

Another one is, expect to take weird and crappy jobs.

Because every backpacker dreams of that, like a steady income, full-time work,

because they're so stressed out about not having money.

But, there are going to be times where you're not going to be able to get a full-time job.

I do not recommend that you prostitute yourself in Australia, put that on the record.

So, expect to take some weird and wonderful jobs when they arrive

or, like I did once, I cooked and sold sausages on the side of street

for a few extra bucks to pay my accommodation,

But, my god it was weird and wonderful and I hated it sometimes, but

where else can I say I did a job like that?

Before you, also even start looking for work, write yourself a good resume.

Don't put all your past job experience onto one CV because, if you're going to apply for a bar job,

they will not care that you have worked in an office back in England

they will want to know what hospitality work you've got.

So, make your resumes relevant to the job you are going to apply for

So, I have one for hospitality, I have one for admin and office work,

and I have a general one with the rest of my experience.

I'm not going to tell you to lie on your resume,

Do not lie, lying is... counterproductive in life.

the biggest website that backpackers love and hate is Gumtree. Gumtree is

just where you... everything is posted, it's like Craigslist

If you're from America, it's like everything is posted on there and the link to that

is in the downbar below. But be careful because you use keywords such as

then you're going to be hit with a ton of scams about how to make big big bucks and

but these jobs are normally for fundraising

telesales door-to-door sales all... and I've done all of them jobs and they're

horrible and you end up leaving after a week because you can't hit the quota,

so just be careful when you are using keywords like that what companies are trying to

offer you but a good thing that I did is put an ad on Gumtree yourself.

Don't just sit there for hours searching through and pulling hair and nails out,

put your own ad up. Now, I have wrote a blog on this and the link to that article
