How can I find employment in Australia as an American?
seek.com.au - lots of jobs, but not much for new graduates. Try to get some working experience first.
Reply:Hi, i think it is easy to find work in Australia. You only need a work permit/visa. If you want to find a job before arriving you would need to visit websites that offer employment services in which ever state you would like to visit. Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Queensland, Tasmania, Northern Territory, and our beloved Canberra (office administer work)





Our states are not short drives like in America. We have inner and outer suburbs which can take as long to reach as some of your states do to cross.





If your not fussy about employment, and look neat and tidy in appearance and you speak clearly, you will find employment in Australia.





Half our population are immigrants which still can not speak English nor can be 100% understood. If they can work then why couldn't you!





I hope you enjoy your time in Australia when you get here. We are a very tolerant and friendly nation of people from very diverse backgrounds. Mostly we get along really well with strangers and if you like a beer, a burger or meat pie with tomato sauce you will fit in. Only joking, we have some of the best restaurants in the world and the added bonus of culture through Art, music, theatre, and all sports.
Reply:Why do you want to be an American?
Reply:What kind of work are you looking for. Australia is very choosy about who works there. You need to have a skill that is lacking there, such as computer skills.


The best thing to do is to search the internet for Australian based companies that you are interested in working in and send them a CV. You may get a telephone interview if they are interested.


You can always get work as bar staff, if thats what you want. Or, start as bar staff and look for work while you're there.


It won't be easy.

Or you can sign up with an employment agency. You tell them what your qualifications are %26amp; they find you a job!
Reply:Check that you are eligible for a visa to work in Australia at http://www.immi.gov.au first, then look at sites like http://www.seek.com.au for job vacancies you are interested in.
Reply:Well you could first get a real job and be an amateur American in your spare time. With practice you may be able to become fully professional. I hear Oz is crying out for people to work as "Americans" at the moment!
