What kind of job can I find by working part-time? How much is the salary?

The reporter contacted the Neolithic Overseas Study and Immigration Agency, who combined their years of experience to give examples of common job types for backpackers. Australia is a typical example where the income from physical work exceeds the income from mental work. This is good news for backpackers who want to work and play in Australia before passing the WHA. The current exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the Chinese yuan is 4.73.

Fruit picker: The most common job is undoubtedly that of fruit picker! Australia is rich in fruits and there are so many orchards! After the signing of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement, all fruits have zero tariffs and are shipped to China. It is estimated that there will be more fruits grown in Australia! Fruit workers are also seasonal, and some are paid on a daily or weekly basis. For example, full-time workers in vineyards can be paid 600-700 Australian dollars (approximately 3000-3500 yuan) per week, and some are paid based on the number of fruits picked. Or give money for the number of baskets.

Massage parlors: usually run by Chinese, specializing in providing customers with body and foot massages. The salary is about 60 Australian dollars (about 300 yuan) per day plus commission.

Resort and hotel cleaning staff: Approximate salary is 16-23 Australian dollars (86-123 yuan) per hour. This kind of job is suitable for both men and women. It does not require exposure to the sun and rain, but the salary is not low. However, the competition is very fierce.

Supermarket porter: In large supermarket chains such as Big W, Woolworth, Coles, etc., the salary can reach 23 Australian dollars (110 yuan) per hour, but it is very tiring. It is a typical job for a strong man. ! And there are employee prices for working and shopping in these supermarkets!

Bar bartender: up to 20-40 Australian dollars (105-215 yuan) per hour! ! ! However, before you put down your phone and sign up to learn bartending, I have to tell you that you must first be familiar with various types of alcohol and their English names. Secondly, you also need to be able to mix drinks. In addition, your English speaking and communication skills are top-notch. I believe no one wants to go to a bar and see a bartender who cannot communicate in English.
