Working Holiday Visa Jobs and Tips

Working Holiday Visa Jobs

Many Working Holiday Visa (WHV) holders choose to find employment within the construction industry. The main reason for this is that there is huge demand for construction workers in Australia. Whether you are a carpenter looking to experience working in the Australian sunshine or you are just finding your feet in the construction industry the chances are there is a suitable role for you.

Working Holiday Visa Jobs in Construction Industry – What You Need!

The first thing you must do to work in the construction is to get your white card. You can get your white card online or in person at various registered training organizations throughout Sydney.

You will also need to make sure you get personal protective equipment (PPE) such as hard hat, hi visibility tops, gloves, protective glasses and steel toe capped boots which can be purchased in stores such as Bunnings and K-mart.

Once you have your white card and PPE you are ready to start applying for jobs in the construction industry.

Prepare Your Resume – Highly Relevant Construction Experience

Make sure you have a resume crafted to show off your experience in construction or at least show some relevant experience that will attract potential employers. Once your resume is ready its time to get in touch with Hunter Labour Hire. Send your resume to our friendly team at jobs@hunterlabourhire.com.au.
