Working in Australia
Are you looking for the best job in the
world?
Too late now, applications closed on 19 February 2009 and over 20,000 people from over 180 countries have applied for the job, and several times the website's server has gone into meltdown and it had to be beefed up.
The job was only for a six-month period in which the successful applicant had to live in a luxury Hamilton Island villa, explore the reef, its islands and wildlife, swim, snorkel and blog about it.
The Best Job in The World went to Englishman Ben Southall who did his six-month stint as caretaker of Hamilton Island.
If you job is in the
building trade your chances of obtaining a working visa are currently
very good.
The Australian Government has announced that due to the massive
rebuilding efforts required after the disastrous floods in south
Queensland they will fast- track any work visa applications by people
in the building trade !
Working in Australia is a dream for many, and finding employment in Australia can be easy if you have the right skills.
If your trade is on the wanted list getting your work permits/work visas can be a pretty smooth process.
If you're between 18 and 30 you also qualify for the working holiday visa, which is pretty easy to get.
You can do your visa and immigration applications yourself or get an experienced professional to do it for you. Are you eligible to work in Australia? Click here to find out.

Some info on living in Australia
Working Holiday Visa for Australia
The Working Holiday Program allows people between 18 and 30 from
the UK, Canada, Norway, the Netherlands, Italy, Japan, Cyprus, Ireland,
Korea, Malta, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, , Hong Kong and Finland
to holiday in Australia and work up to three monthhs in one place
with a maximum stay in Australia of one year.
Besides boosting your holiday funds this is a good opportunity to
get to meet Australians and really experience the country rather
than just do the tourist thing.
You need to make the application outside Australia, either by visiting
an embassy or consulate or online by clicking
here. Main criteria are to be aged between 18 and 30 and without
dependent children. You should have a return ticket and enough money
to cover the first part of your stay. You will be paid according
to Australian award rates and conditions. Once upon a time anyone
with aworking holiday visa with this could just sign on for the
dole (social security) but too many took advantage of this and this
is now no longer possible.
To make an online application for a working holiday visa for Australia yourself click here, or use an agency to do all the paperwork for you;

The intentions of the Australian government is to fill seasonal
vacancies in fruit picking and casual positions where there is a
shortage of labour, they do not like to see you get a good position
on a permanent basis with a visa like this.
Be aware that there are hostels based in agricultural areas without
a lot of attractions that try to keep their beds filled with workers.
While some are legitimate, others keep telling you that work will
come soon to keep their beds full while this work may not necessarily
become available.
