ghostgirl Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 When did you arrive? Any tips? X I only arrived two weeks ago! I don't know enough to be handing out tips haha apply for as many jobs as possible! I have already had a company turn me down for a role because they thought I could 'do better' and as a result I had an interview today for a job with the same company but for more pay & better hours and responsibility! Get a profile on 'Seek' and apply for as many jobs as you can! And don't be scared to go alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can't really narrow it down. Getting a job is the main thing everyone seems to worry about, you have it easy! If you can get a job in any state then you should travel all over, that's what I wish I could do. I will do it some time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aww do they? Well that's good. Cos I thought everyone seemed to start in Cairns then come down rather than the other way. Where are you staying? Any good pubs/bars/clubs near by?

LGannon Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Hi Guys! On my whv back in 2009 I working in Sydney at a call centre. It was decent wages and chose your own hours am or pm shift. Was good enough for me and if you don't mind that sort of work go for it.... Their called Call Centres Australia, not far from Central station. They took on a lot of backpackers! Good luck to you all, but as already mentioned just get out there and hand out those cv's or apply online Sydney has a high turnover of staff coming and going... don't be picky Aussies don't like that! If your hard working just go out and get work don't um n arr abouts standards of the job that you probably wouldn't even think of doing at home! if you end up working in Maccas hey ho you have a wage!

wolvesaussie Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I just started working at a new place in Melbourne, IT work for a call centre, they also appear to take on a lot of backpackers to work the phones, they were interviewing a load today.

Wanji Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Are there any Nurses here going on a Working holiday Visa? I'm a nurse. Just seems too much of a hassle to get registered at the Nursing Board with the medical check you have to do (and for me also the english proficiency test). You have to do it at the Nursing board of each state you want to work in. Don't know if other nurses did go on a WHV and how easy it is to get a job.
