Work outside Australia
If you are thinking about working outside of Australia, many of the challenges are similar to if you work in Australia such as:
- Making career decisions
- How to find a job
- What employers expect
But despite the commonalities, differences will exist between industries, employers and jobs.
Some of these differences are subtle, but can impact on whether you get an interview. Country variations can relate to how you look for jobs, your job applications and interview technique. Make sure you do your research and always tailor your approach.
Finding out about your work eligibility before you move to your destination is vital. Generally, work permits are not provided unless you have already found employment, and an employer is willing to verify this. Check with your destination's embassy, commission or consulate for further information
