Guest Niccolo Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi Guys! What is, on a job perspective, the best Month to start a WHV? Mid-November just before the summer holidays or February when immediately after their end? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Id say probably november. I arrived november the 6th and i had a job within 2 weeks but that was at a country pub, not a city. I think jumping straight into february temps might have been too much for me too. Although there might be more jobs in feb if thats when the students go back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoedan24 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 More about where than when. Wouldnt go up north at any of those times. Monsoons and wet season. Start at the bottom and work up. At least if you came in feb it will be nearest the end of wet season, whereas november you would still have to go through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys! i'd like to go in Brisbane, as i was already there and i enjoyed my time in that city. What is the best season to find a job there, in your opinion? Does the "high season" in Brisbane start in December as happens in Sydney and Melbourne or in late autumn as in Cairns and Darwin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoedan24 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Farming work is all year round so depends but most is up north. I woukd recomend geting your rsg and rsa and applying for some bar jobs. Depends how long you want to stick around one area for. Some hostels do work for accomodation too. Starts geting real hot in november through to feb. The further upnorth you go at this time the hotter and wetter it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it can be easy to find a Job in a bar in Brisbane as it is now in Sydney and Melbourne. The last two cities are very touristy and with lot of people around in Summer. I am afraid Brisbane could get empty due to the extremely hot weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quokka2005 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Ive heard brisbane can be hit or a miss for work. Theres quite a lot of pubs, cafes etc so just hit them with resumes. Try gumtree too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
