Hello! I am a student going to Australia for my studies and need to have a look at the job scenario there. I am considering working there as I would be needing some extra money (apart from the one I will be getting for my studies). Just need some info on the jobs available there
.. do you people have some info for me???
You will need a visa to get any kind of work.
Australia is the size of the United States geographically so a little more specific info as to the location for your job hunt would be needed for anyone to give you anything other than "yes, they have employment opportunities in Australia."
Your legal ability to work will depend on the type of visa you have - it may npt be permissable.
The bad news is as a temporary 'guest' the sort of work you can expect to do involves mostly service industries (bar-work) or primary industry (picking fruit):

If you have specialist skills there are opportunities, but you need to jump through some real hoops. May not be the holiday you want either....
