Hi all
I was recently granted a working holiday visa and am planning to leave to Australia in the Autumn. I'm 18 years old, British, and am currently working in first line technical support in London. I have an apprenticeship qualification and some industry-standard certificates.
I was hoping that I could enter the same industry in Australia, but I understand that getting office-based work on a WHV may be difficult. I found a company called Gap360 which provide the same sort of standard orientation that most of the companies do however it is geared towards people looking for professional jobs. Has anybody had any experience with this company? Would it be worth paying the money to try to get a job like this or should I try and be a bit less picky and go for more traditional working holiday jobs?
Also, I was told by a travel agent in this company that one of the requirements of the visa is that you can't get a job offer before entering Australia i.e. I can't job search with Australian employers whilst in the UK. Is this true or is this just a sales trick?
Many thanks!
