Jobs for people on Whv
 

Hello all,

I am coming over to Australia on he 16th may an will be based in brisbane. This is just an enquiry on how easy/difficult it is to obtain a job on a working holiday visa, does any1 know of any companies/agencies that maybe i could contact. I have searched the net but am starting to feel like i will never find a job!! Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou

David

I am assuming you have tried seek? They do have a section for temporary & casual jobs.

What type of work are you looking for?

Re: Jobs for people on Whv
 

Yes i have tried seek but at the bottom of all the jobs is a paragraph that states you must have the right to work in Australia to apply for the job. Do you know if i can still apply for these?? I will do any sort of work to get me by.

Thankyou for your response

If you have a WHV, you have the right to work.
You may well find that it is much easier to get casual work once you are here. Certainly in Cairns, there are noticeboards up aroud the hostels with job ads. Possibly the same in Brissy?
There will be agencies that specialise in different types of employment & these will probably all advertise in the local papers, alternatively get hold of the yellow pages.
Come prepared financially too though, just in case it takes longer than you would hope!
Good luck & have fun!:thumbsup:

Seriously though.....around here I see a lot of ads in shop windows specifically saying 'backpackers OK'. Didn't see it so much in Brisbane, but then most backpackers don't stay long in Brisbane so it's probably less common to pick up casual work.

Once you're in Brisbane the local free papers tend to be a good source for casual jobs....you'll see a lot of 'Marketing' positions on commision only....not sure what this invovles. One that I remember was always looking was the AAPT sales call centre
- they must've had a really high staff turnover though!

Uhoh....I'm guessing they treat their customers as badly as their staff!!??

Re: Jobs for people on Whv
 

My friends are on WHV and have had difficulties getting a job. I would reply to those "must have residency" anyway and explain you can work as some are only casual. I think this is automatically put on some jobs regardless. Couldn't hurt! Seek & careerone are pretty scarce at the moment.
they managed to get jobs coldcalling...
