So, what kind of work can you do in Australia with a working holiday visa?

My friend Emily found a job in a telecommunications company store in Australia after her foreign boyfriend obtained an Australian working holiday visa.

During her internship at the university, Emily fell in love at first sight with Forest, an exchange student from the UK. After the short exchange program ended, Forest's visa expired and he returned to the UK. In order to reunite with the person he loves as soon as possible, Forest applied for an Australian working holiday visa and returned to Australia. After arriving in Australia, Forest went out to look for work and soon found a job at a telecommunications company store in Australia. Forrest said that he never expected that it would be so easy to find a job in Australia, much easier than in the UK.

After that, Emily and Forrest were close to each other, and they were like glue. The two of them had jobs and income, no financial worries, and spent two years happily; two years later, Emily and Forest got married. Forest applied for a partner visa to Australia, and the two lived happily together. The working holiday visa played an important role in their romantic love life.

Of course, if you want to find a job in an Australian specialty store, your English is key and must be good enough.

It doesn’t matter if your English is not good enough, there are other jobs suitable for you.

In Australia, holders of working holiday visas are also called "backpackers". Why does it have this title? Because they live in one place, work part-time, earn living expenses, and after visiting nearby attractions, they pack up their bags and go to the next destination. They just left and traveled across Australia with their backpacks on their backs.

In Australia, there are still many job opportunities for backpackers. If your English is good enough, you may find a job in a specialty store or store. If your English is not good enough, you can apply for a job picking fruits.

A large number of backpackers pick fruits on farms. The English requirements for this job are much lower than those in the sales industry. Australia has a vast land and rich resources, and there are many varieties of fruits, so various fruits mature at different times. If you do fruit picking work, you can work across the Australian continent as various fruits mature. In this way, you can earn living expenses and travel in the Australian mainland. By doing this job, you can experience and feel the Australian rural life in the vast fields. Of course, you will also have the opportunity to meet Australian locals. More importantly, you will meet many backpackers like you, which may be your next stop. You all are together and traveling together!

You may want to ask me how to find a job picking fruits?

The Australian government department has established a website to help backpackers find fruit-picking jobs. The name of this website is "Harvest Trail Website".

In addition to picking fruits on Australian farms, backpackers can also work in restaurants, hotels, health services and other industries. In addition, cleaners are also an option for backpackers who don’t speak English well.

You can also work as an Au Pair, live in an Australian family, take care of children, do some light housework, and truly experience Australian family life.

However, one thing to note is that the jobs found by backpackers are often difficult and not easy. In China, if you live a well-off life and are relatively delicate, you may not be able to last long as a backpacker.

Apply for an Australian working holiday visa, pack up your bags, and travel across the Australian continent, giving you a different cultural and life experience; at the same time, it may be more difficult - have you thought about it? Do you want to travel to Australia while working?
