Working in Australia

Australia offers a lot of work opportunities. It is a big and prosperous country, and as every industrialized country, it offers opportunities for everybody. Economic reasons affect the availability of working places in the different regions of the country. It is estimated that 4 million factory workers are affiliated to any of the 240 recognized syndicates. Unemployment is estimated in 11%.

Australian newspapers, specially on Wednesdays and Saturdays are an important source of information about vacants. There are opportunities for every profession or activity. There are also a lot of websites that help people to find jobs.

Job opportunities in Australia are very good due to it’s low unemployment rate. Australia is a very young country and because it is close to Asia it benefits from a stable economy and giant investments from countries like china, India etc.

Even though working conditions in Australia are pretty good, it's work market is very competitive. Opportunities to find a good job depend on personal abilities and sometimes they may seem pretty limited to some people.

To conclude, Australia is a country that offers a lot of opportunities for every kind of person, but, in my opinion, if you want to succeed in your job search you must be prepared and have some skills, because there is a lot of competence and a lot of people prepared to do the job you are searching for.
