If you’re a backpacker who has been searching on where the best travel jobs in Australia are held, then you’ve found the right person to inform you. Perhaps you’re even a local Australia who simply desires to travel around our great country. In either case, I’m sure that this post will be of some assistance.
There are many jobs that you could do in Australia whilst you travel around. Recently I have written a book called Fulltime Nomad: 47 Different Ways to Work Your Way Around Australia. This book is about to be launched so stay tuned.
In regards to job search sites in Australia, there are several that spring to mind. A lot of people who have seasonal work will post on Gumtree Australia. This is because the advertising for them is free, and they’re likely to gain a lot of interest. It’s wise to be fast and these jobs could be advertised and positions filled within a day of posting.
I highly recommend www.seek.com.au since it’s Australia’s most trusted job search site. You’ll know that the employers on there are legitimate and will take each applicant seriously. Keep in mind that you’ll have to present yourself in a professional context, even if the job you are applying for is of casual nature. Certainly most travel jobs in Australia are of casual basis but it’s very wise to make a strong first impression upon Australian employers whom you approach.
A quick search on Google has brought up numerous sites that will be helpful for your employment needs. Simply type in ‘Travel Jobs Australia’ and numerous come up. One of the most respected sites is Workabout Australia which has paid membership for employers, ensuring that you’re dealing with real people.
Generally, you will find that most Australian employers are very legitimate and will pay you honestly. That said, it’s wise to do your research first and be a little reserved when you get an offer that sounds ‘too good to be true’ (slang for ‘something so wonderful that it’s not even real’).
Good luck and stay tuned for the book that is about to be launched! 🙂 Safe travels!
