If you are successful in obtaining a visa, however, you will have the opportunity to reside in one of the cities that is regarded as being among the most livable in the world. The Mercers 2021 Quality of Living Ranking places Sydney at number 31, up 35 positions from the previous year, while Melbourne is now at number 59, having risen 40 positions since the previous ranking. Australia, which has a population of more than 25 million people and a low unemployment rate of 5%, provides some of the highest graduate salaries available anywhere in the world. With everything that Australia has going for it, why wouldn't you want to go there to try and make your fortune?

Because there are so many places of interest to see, you will need to make effective use of the free time you have. Spend some time at Bondi Beach and the Great Barrier Reef, go on a tour of the Sydney Opera House, cruise down the Great Ocean Road, observe the red rocks of the outback, and go to Fraser Island if you have the time. There are cosmopolitan cities, national parks, and coastal locations, so you will definitely be able to find an activity that suits your interests. The presence of a common language and an annual sun count that averages 240 days are merely icing on the cake.

Work available in Australia

The services sector is the most important contributor to Australia's economy, followed by manufacturing and then agriculture. In many large towns and cities, tourism also represents a significant economic driver. The likelihood of you finding a graduate job in a metropolitan city such as Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth, or Sydney is higher, but you shouldn't rule out the possibility of finding work in a more rural setting. If you have the appropriate experience and credentials, there is a good chance that you will be able to find work.

Graduates of all levels, on average, have a lower unemployment rate, as well as better labor market outcomes and salaries, than non-graduates. This holds true across all levels of education.

Recent examples of industries experiencing growth are:

The fields of science and technology include building and construction, education, engineering, healthcare, mining, and energy.

How to Position Yourself for Employment in Australia

You submit your application in the same manner as you would for employment in the UK.

You can apply for employment by sending in a curriculum vitae (also known as a résumé) together with a cover letter or by filling out an application form online, which follows the same style as is used in the United Kingdom.

Speculative applications have the potential to provide excellent outcomes; nonetheless, it is important to ensure that your application is customized to each unique employer.

Again, the interview procedure is quite similar to the one that is used in the UK, and as a result, there is a possibility that you may be given a job after being interviewed either over the phone or in person.

Working for a multinational corporation that has operations in Australia increases the likelihood that you will be able to get employment in that country. In this scenario, you can submit your resume to potential employers before moving to the nation.

Before applying for employment requiring a graduate degree, it is best to already be a resident of the nation and to possess the appropriate visa.

When you arrive in Australia, BUNAC not only assists you in finding work but also in establishing yourself professionally in the nation.

Summer jobs

If you are between the ages of 18 and 30 and in possession of a Working Holiday visa, you have the opportunity to find casual, seasonal, or temporary work in Australia.

Because tourism is such a lucrative industry, there are plenty of jobs available for travelers in hotels, restaurants, and bars. You also have the option of working as a tour guide or a sports instructor. Picking fruit and working on farms or ranches in rural areas are two examples of the types of employment opportunities that are available in the agriculture industry.

Seek Volunteer
Volunteering Australia is the national organization that is working to advance volunteering throughout the country. You are able to conduct a search for opportunities, discover the location of the volunteer resource center that is closest to you, and learn more about how you should be treated while volunteering.

Work in the classroom

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), a bachelor's degree, and/or a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE), along with at least some prior teaching experience, are typically the requirements to become a teacher in an Australian school.

Because English is the country's primary language, there are not many opportunities available to teach English to speakers of other languages (TEFL). However, because of the large number of international students and expats living in Australia, there is a demand for TEFL teachers in both public schools and private language academies. To teach English as a foreign language you'll need a degree and a recognised TEFL qualification.

Internships

Doing a work placement or internship can help build up your skills, as well as giving you the chance to make contacts who could help you to get a permanent job.

There are lots of dedicated Australian agencies that can help you to arrange your experience, but most charge a fee so make sure you find out all associated costs before signing up.

Australian visas
If you'd want to work in Australia you’ll require the right visa.

As previously noted persons aged between 18 and 30 can receive a temporary visa called the Working Holiday visa, which permits you to travel and work in the nation for up to two years. You may do various types of employment on the visa but you can only work for six months with any one company. You need to apply for this visa from your home country and will require enough income to maintain yourself throughout your stay.

For more permanent job you'll need to apply for a Skilled Migration visa. To get started, you will have to send in what's called an Expression of Interest (EOI) through SkillSelect. After submitting your expression of interest (EOI), you may be given an invitation to file an application for a skilled migration visa. After then, you will have a total of sixty days to submit an application and nominate a profession that is included on the appropriate skilled professions list.

Your current situation and the kind of job that you want to conduct will determine the kind of visa that you can apply for. You can acquire further information by visiting the Department of immigration and Boarder Protection's Working in Australia webpage.

Language requirements

Since English is the predominant language used in business in Australia, you could be required to provide evidence of your fluency in the language for certain jobs or when applying for visas.

How to describe your experience and skills to potential employers
Because of the striking similarities between the British and Australian higher education systems, the vast majority of companies in Australia will be able to acknowledge the degrees you earned in the United Kingdom. However, before applying for jobs, you should verify with possible employers.
