Gapwork Gap Year Jobs Tips: Finding Work

• Word of mouth is vital - befriend Australians and other backpackers. In many large cities in Australia youth orientated bars will have backpacker nights, look out for them - good drinking occasions but perfect for networking.
• Decide in advance what job you will look for and bring references and your CV. Have a back up plan in case your desired jobs are not available, decide how long you will wait for the right job and budget accordingly.
• In some jobs you may get a trial before you start - this is your chance to impress, work hard and grab your opportunity!
• Make sure you hand your CV to a manager and follow up the next few days to make sure it's been considered.
• It's not usual to be out of work as a backpacker, if you are then you may have to bite the bullet and find work in a bar, factory or harvesting.
