EMMA123 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 does anybody think it is worth while applying for jobs before I start my working holiday visa , or will employers not even look at your cv if you aren't in the country yet? Thanks for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Unless you have a very unique skill, then I would wait. When I did mine (some years back!) I just went around some agencies and was working within a few days - admin, bar etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tingtongman Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 you will need am mobile number usually, It can be a good idea to put down numbers of all job agencies in the area you plan on working in. So when you land you can go ahead and call them when you land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickachu Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Wait til you're there. I got no replies when I was applying beforehand, but as soon I was there I got call backs pretty rapidly. (Chef work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpine Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 It is possible to find work before you arrive in Australia but it does depend on the type of work you are looking for. It can help as you know when and where you are working. We have an employer network and some just need people to cover when people go on long holidays or when they are seasonally busy. We also have employers who will offer 457 visas (depending on if you have an occupation on the skills list) if you want to stay and it is working well for both parties. I am advertising on the employer site so don't hesitate to send me some details and I can get back to you to let you know if I can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
