ScotOz2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 hey all, Im posting this because id like to know what the chances are of getting a fruit picking job through easypickings, but starting in april?? Im aware that the fruit picking season is usually in the summer time but il be leaving for oz when the australian summer ends will there still be a good chance of me starting my 3 months regional work after the australian summer time?

Guest Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Regional work is not only fruit picking. Other options work wise exist. Check the list for what counts and in which state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotOz2014 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 "EasyPickings" is a legit company? isn't it? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Pom Queen Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I personally haven't heard of them either and it is best if you can deal direct with the farmer. However this company has an ABN and is registered,see info below Name: EASY PICKINGS AUSTRALIA PTY LTD ACN: 165705055 ABN: 79 165 705 055 Registration date: 9/09/2013 Next review date: 9/09/2014 Status: Registered Type: Australian Proprietary Company, Limited By Shares Locality of registered office: BURWOOD VIC 3125 Regulator: Australian Securities & Investments Commission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britpop Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Look at harvest trail. If you're asking if you can secure a job far In advance I'd say no, there's no benefit to them for that. If you're asking if you can get picking work in April then yes, there are crops still coming in then. There are plenty of companies that advertise for pickets, often the farmers themselves on gumtree but harvest trail will give you the info of what's where.
