Real Work From Home Jobs No Scams Australia
hello! how is everyone on this fine day? yes, i am wearing a jumper because it's like, in the 10's well... 19 degrees. cold, up here, very cold. used to 30, 40 degre heat. chilly. okay, so today i am going to be answering the big question i am getting and that is, how to find work in australia. and, first i am going to kind of bash out some misconseptions
i find working in australia. one, a lot of people expect to get a job straight away. this is not the case, okay. some people may be lucky enough to just land themselves a job as soon as they land. but, seriously, it is few and far between. and why would you want to get a full-time job as soon as you arrive? when you arrive, go and have run, travel around a bit. find your feet and find a place that you want to get a job, not just the first place you land in.
a lot of people stress because they ignore the government's website when they suggest $5,000 to $6,000 being sufficient. it is sufficient and it will keep you going until you find a job. also, do not believe companies who say they can guarantee you work because they can not. so many traveller friends of mine have been scammed by this. and you have to put upfront fees for this kind of thing, you should never have to pay for a job, end of. you never have to your whole life so why do it now? lots of companies will take advantage of backpackers,
especially first time travellers who do not believe that they will be able to get a job without this company's help, and it's a load of crap. what i'd also give you advice is do not expect to find work in big cities easily. because, like, sydney is like the most popular backpacker destination in australia and competition is bloody high there. i'm not saying it's impossible to get a job in sydney, i know lots of travellers who worked in sydney. but, it is so difficult compared to other places. another piece of advice i'd give is to be prepared to move for work.
as you will probably know, i would have spent, by the time i finished here, about 5 months working in the outback. because, there are so many jobs out here, working in country pubs, restaurants, on a farm, on a property like i am now, and money isn't great, but they are going to give you lots of hours plus bed and board is normally always included. so, you can have a two, three stint in the outback, save yourself a few thousand dollars, and then go back to civilization and carry on travelling. it is a great way
to save money. but, of course a lot of backpackers want to stay in a city and work in a city and fund their way through cities. so, if you want to do that, just be prepared to not have a job straight away. and, it's hard to find a decent job. another one is, expect to take weird and crappy jobs. because every backpacker dreams of that, like a steady income, full-time work, because they're so stressed out about not having money.
but, there are going to be times where you're not going to be able to get a full-time job. so, you'll be exce... mmm, you'll be sexing... i do not recommend that you prostitute yourself in australia, put that on the record. i can't remember what i was saying. so, expect to take some weird and wonderful jobs when they arrive whether it be an extra in a movie, or, like i did once, i cooked and sold sausages on the side of street for a few extra bucks to pay my accommodation,
my... my stupid amount of red wine, and noodles. but, my god it was weird and wonderful and i hated it sometimes, but where else can i say i did a job like that? really. before you, also even start looking for work, write yourself a good resume. have a few resumes, not just one don't put all your past job experience onto one cv because, if you're going to apply for a bar job, they will not care that you have worked in an office back in england
or back in germany, they will want to know what hospitality work you've got. so, make your resumes relevant to the job you are going to apply for so, i have one for hospitality, i have one for admin and office work, and i have a general one with the rest of my experience. i'm not going to tell you to lie on your resume, because i've never done that myself. ever. never got a job through lieing
lying is bad. do not lie, lying is... counterproductive in life. didn't tell you to lie. okay, so, where you can look for work. the biggest website that backpackerslove and hate is gumtree. gumtree is just where you... everything is posted, it'slike craigslist if you're from america, it's like everythingis posted on there and the link to that is in the downbar below. but be carefulbecause you use keywords such as backpacker or traveler
then you're going to be hit with a tonof scams about how to make big big bucks and travel while you work but these jobs are normally forfundraising telesales door-to-door sales all... andi've done all of them jobs and they're horrible and you end up leaving after aweek because you can't hit the quota, when it's so stressful, so just be careful when you are using keywordslike that what companies are trying to offer you but a good thing that i did isput an ad on gumtree yourself. don't just sit there for hours searchingthrough and pulling hair and nails out,
put your own ad up. now, i have wrote ablog on this and the link to that article is in the downbar below where i actuallyshow you a copy of my advertisements on gumtree and how i got my work in theoutback. they actually do work. i always saw themand thought, "oh my god do these actually work?" like "englishbackpacker looking for work". like, "do employees actually look at them?"yes they do, they actually do. i got like so many responses within the first 24 hours andthen i had to wimble my way through and pick the job i wanted i mean, god, pretty cool. works better for ruralwork than it does for work in the city,
but if you need to get your farm work done, you can put an ad up. guaranteed to get responses.and also be prepared for the the weird and wonderful responses. i mean,look at you of course this 75 year old man wants youto be naked house maid and that is your choice whether you accept it. just saying, be prepared for some weird responses to job advertisements. also your hostel can help you find work because the majority of backpackers are on working holiday visasthen your hostel might have a job board in reception, they might have a job club where you putin your details and then if they get
local businesses call up the hostel,which they do regularly, asking for someone for a couple of days casual work and they will look through their job club list give them your name. or they will wanderaround the hostel in the middle of the day and say "do you need some work?" "do you need some work?" doesn't happen like allthe, all the, all the time, but it can so always check with your hostel.talking of hostels, you can like in your hostel and i know so many people who have worked inhostels i stayed in and they get free accommodation. now, if you work full-time in the hostel, generally they'll give you
acommodation in the hostel for free i was more, wages, you are part time, mightjust get accommodation. it's not great pay, you can have a lot offun doing it. long term a lot of people end up not liking it, but if you're reallystuck and you're still searching and thehostels say look, do you want to be a receptionist or a cleaner, then great, take it, because, you know, while you are still looking for a job, you get your accommodation paid for and maybe a bit of extra pocket money. this is such an old saying
but it's all about who you know. the wayi got my job in a massive city pub in brisbane was i'd overheard some of thegirls in the hostel say that they... this place was looking for someone to come on because a couple of backpackers there were leaving so, literally, i was up, went down stairs to the internet cafã©, printed off a nice resume and i was out, and when you get theresell yourself. you hear about job advertisements, and you get there immediatelyand you say "i heard you're looking for someone." even if they... you know even if you haven'tbut you think that they might be looking for
someone, sell yourself. don't ever just ask forthe manager and handle your cv, because when i worked in bars and we get peoplecome and just passed a cv over, it's not very impressive. sell yourself,almost demand trial in a very polite way. don't be rude now, no one likes it whenyou're rude, all right? you're not going to get a job being rude, okay? also, when you're in and around town, check out for job advertisements inwindows because a lot of places still use that. like, "part time staff required" so if you see that, have a couple ofresumes in your bag, just on the go and go in, sell yourself
and hand over your cv... resume... ok, they are the same thing if anyone is wondering but i keep keep switching and i don't know why. i say cv. i'm from england but everyoneelse is resume. it's just so confusing. and finally another one i'd recommend, is to sign up to an agency, especially if you have a trade. likeyou're an electrician or plumber or you working construction or you're a nurse,fully qualified carer, anything like that then go sign up to a local agency. they cangive some temparary work and a lot of the time, if you impress that temporary work could lead intofull-time work. happy days.
more wine. got a problem, got to stop drinking so much wine. maybe i need to start drinking more wine.that... that one seems like a good one, i'll go for it. so, i hope that helped. those are some of the really popular ways to find work out here. i put some other links to some, like ajob board websites down below but my blog explains everything in detail andalso show you some hilarious pictures of me cooking and selling sausages in asupermarket, fun days, happy times so yeah, good luck. do not stress. seriously, we're all out here. huge amount of backpackers come out to australia, and you might have times where go without a job and you're living
off like one pack of noodles a day forlike a few weeks, but you will find work then. it comes and goes. you won't just land ajob whenever you want one, and it might not be the perfect job. but everything's anexperience out here so just go for it and... ow, hit my hand. bye. okay, love you.
