Finding a job in Australia just got easier

The working holiday in Australia is a right of passage for backpackers the world over. The hardest part can be to find a job – well that just got a little bit easier. Thumbrella an Australian based travel industry site has just launched an online job board with travelers in mind. Everything from hospitality to short term fixed contract positions are listed. Headed to Aussie? Cruise the list and find yourself a job – HERE.
 Here’s what the folks at Thumbrella have to say about it:
Thumbrella has expanded its free jobs board to include backpacker jobs, with vacancies being e-mailed to Golden Backpack voters via a partnership with TNT Magazine.  
Job categories include accounts, admin/office, bar/wait staff, fruitpicking/harvest work, nursing/healthcare, teaching and sales/marketing. Backpacker industry specific jobs can also be posted free of charge under travel/hospitality.
Backpackers will be alerted to the vacancies via a weekly TNT/Thumbrella jobs e-mail. Advertisers can upgrade their listing for a small fee.
Thumbrella publishing director Martin Lane said: “TNT’s database is now 16,834-strong, many of whom only recently voted in the Golden Backpack Awards, so they are in the country and probably looking for work as we speak. Everyone Thumbrella speaks to tells us there are more jobs than backpackers at the moment – hopefully this will help reverse that trend.”
