Default Floor finisher/carpet fitter on working holiday visa

hi, i have my whv and intend to go to oz about August time i am not sure where about to start i will go where ever there is work for me. i just wanted to know if any body knows the chances of me getting a job doing floor finishing on a whv? and where to start?. i have looked on jobs searches and dont seem to find much and if i do its a full time job. i could do with some inside info or even any one that is in flooring and could tell me a company that might take me on. i have been in the flooring game for about 6 years i mainly do carpets/vinyl and i am self-employed right now in the uk.

thanks

Don't you want to come to South Africa instead we are desperate for carpet and vinyl fitters.........I know,I know it's a shyte place don't blame you if you say no

Try Brisbane area

Carpet Court springs to mind you can google them....lots of other franchised dealers,but can't remember them sorry!

Would never recommend anyone to come to SA it was just a bit of fun.Africa is basically stuffed but it has a lot of amazing qualities that unfortunately don't outway the bad.

I wish SA could be safe so I could move there. I think its the most beautiful country with friendly, welcoming people. In a different climate it would be my first choice

Pity about the politics and the misunderstanding of the history/situation there. Zim the same.

Ja I have lived here for 15 years of which they have been largely happy ones but whites are no longer welcome and we have been asked to leave in a roundabout way.No longer a place to bring up kids that's for sure.So we will move when it is financially possible.
