I am 18 and have been unemployed for a while now and got sick of searching for jobs and getting turned away. I have looked into a working holiday in Oz for 6-12 months, a friend of mine is also interested in coming along with me.
I am unsure whether to go through a company with one of their packages or sort it all out myself, which is usually best?
Is it often possible to secure a job before you go over there? and if not, how long could you be without work for? (looking for Fruit picking jobs for the first 6 months)
I am interested in the Melbourne area, are there a lot of jobs in this area of the country? if not where is better?
Would me and my friend be able to find an affordable hostel/apartment to stay in together? can we do this before we arrive in Australia?
Thanks for any help!
