In the current economic climate it can actually be better to head out to another country and find work sooner rather than later. The European financial crisis has effect the strength of the Pound and Euro so much that you now make 30% more in Australia than you would have a few years ago. 30%! Thats huge, that is the equivalent of working 10 days less in a month, for the same take home pay.

Another way to look at it is the longer you have to earn in another currency, the more you can actually save on your travels to bring home with you. Easier said than done perhaps, after all you will be having alot of fun in the process, but still, the numbers work in your favour. Start planning your gap year and spend it working in Australia. We will help you do with the work up in Sydney programme, it is really alot easier than you think, just pick a date, book a flight, book this programme and start changing your life for the better. This is the perfect package if you are looking to work in Australia while you travel. All the boring crap taken care of (tax file numbers, banks accounts etc) with just the fun stuff to "worry" about. Lots of social activities to make friends fast, and included training courses to get you in a position to work. 12 months of job search offers included and an office in Sydney to work from making it easier to start your job search. We also put you in touch with an agent based in Sydney before you go. How good is that! |

Well apart from the obvious advantages of the exchange rate earning you more and the fact that business is booming with loads of jobs (they have massive exports to China and were not effected by the financial crisis) it is also one of the only countries with a convenient working holiday visa. Sydney is a great place to start as it is the economic powerehouse of Australia.
So lets look at this logically, with low unemployment, lots of jobs available to travellers, a strong currency and a well established working holiday visa system in place, if you are looking for paid work abroad, Australia is the way forward.
