Travellers At Work (TAW) is a specialist recruitment service for working holidaymakers in Australia. Members receive online access to thousands of job offers all over Australia and they can opt-in receive email notifications of new jobs as soon as they become available.
Jobs are available nationwide in a variety of industries including: Office Work, Farm Work, Au-Pair, Sales & Promotions, Factory Work, Retail, Trades & Labour. All jobs can be viewed online, but you need a TAW Membership to apply for jobs.
Once your TAW membership has been activated you can create an online resume. Once complete, you can apply for any of the positions on the TAW site. The employer will receive an email with your cover letter / message and your online resume.
No, the employer will always make the final decision on who to employ, so you must ensure your cover letter and resume are great. Read our useful tips on how to Write a great resume and Writing Cover Letters or visit TAW to speak with a recruitment expert.
It’s impossible to say. Jobs are competitive and there are lots of travellers looking for work. However, lots of jobs are available and if you have decent English, a great resume and relevant experience you should find something relatively soon.
The key to getting a job fast is having the right attitude – it is much more important than your education or experience. In your application you must convince the employer that you’re a hard-working and happy person who is eager to start work straight away and will stay until the job is done. (Most jobs last for 1-6 months, so you will have to consider staying in one location for a while).
