trace1 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Hi there...I have a son who is going out to Australia on a WHV...he wants to work in the building trade...either painting or carpentry in the hope that he will be sponsored on a more permanent visa...the conditions of a working holiday visa state that you can only work for an employer for a period of 6 months...however you can work as an apprentice or just in general in one of these types of jobs do long as you move from one company to another after 6 months...how easy is is to get this type of work without any experience and is it possible to be sponsored to stay longer on maybe a 457 or permanent visa...any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gavzilla Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 you will be very lucky to get a job that you desire on a whv - i have just done 2 years there and had lots of jobs, but you have to have experience or they will just hire locals instead, in the current situation he will be lucky to find a job on a farm let alone anything else, theres currently 4 million other backpackers in oz doing the same thing and most are qualified in some field or another, i was offered sponsership by one boss but he was a terrible boss and still owes me money 8 months later. It is much easier to get sponsership while in oz though if a job is found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
