Work & Travel Visa - How Far Ahead Worth Applying?


Dan Offer

Recommended Posts

I've recently been granted a Work Travel Visa (the one where you get 6 months per employer) however, I'm hoping to attain as good a job as possible given my skills and qualifications.

 

Over the past three years I've been running an IT company - engaging in product design, testing, PR etc, but I have little in the way of higher level formal qualifications other than a good degree and A Levels....how good are my chances of picking something up? Headed to Melbourne but incredibly flexible.

 

How far ahead of me leaving the UK is it worth applying for roles?

I'd wait till you arrive tbh. On a WHV you may find your options limited in your field as it could be employers are wanting people longer term and won't be interested in your with a 6 month limit. Most employers would want you on the ground to interview and skills test I would reckon so don't worry overly about looking before you go.

 

Also remember the WHV is just that, a working holiday visa. The idea being you work to supplement your holiday and have funds to fall back on etc.
