Finding work on your Australia gap year need not be difficult. There are plenty of options available to you if you are looking for paid work abroad and want to take advantage of Australias working holiday visa scheme. The trick is to be clever about what kind of work you want to do.
 

Put it this way, if you were to look for a job when you arrive, and end up working in an office, temping, like many other Australia gap year takers, then you really will be missing out. After all, working in an office, with its neon strip lighting and office politics, is exactly the same boring job you could get back home. Shouldn´t gap years be about life changing travel, and having a different experience?

Don´t worry, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and it is courtesy of Xtreme Gap Year. They are a gap year company specialising in Australia gap years with a twist. You see they have a range of gap year qualifications that enable you to work down under in some very cool jobs.

For example there is the competent crew qualification, a programme that allows you to work on boats all over the world. That many not sound that interesting yet, until you factor in the fact that 99% of the course participants are given a job at the end of the course, and that their job involves living on multimillion pound cruising yachts and sailing around the great barrier reef.
 
This can be a nice littler earner too, paying up to five hundred AUD a week, then you can factor in the benefits: all your accommodation and food is covered while you are out at sea “working”. Hardly work really, living on a multimillion dollar boat and crusing around a world heritage site all day. The real bonus? This couse will pay for itself in no time.

What about this for an idea. The beach lifeguard qualification. With 90% of Australians living by the coast Ozszie lifeguards are in short supply. Now factor in you vcan earn 500 pounds a week, making a living posing on the beach, and it starts to make sense. Ok it is not all relaxation, you have to train hard to get qualified, but once you do, you can work in any country as a lifeguard, as these are really tangible qualifications.

 
Before you start getting all excited and ready to book, hang on… We have once more treat in store for you. The perfect Australia gap year qualification! The Xtreme Gap Surf Dude Course! This is all about taking you to surf instructor over a 3 month period. After you have qualified, you are then free to teach in any of the 100+ surf schools in Australia.
 

That is all well and good, but when you also consider the fun you can have during thre training… 3 months of living by the beach, surfing every day, hanging out with loads of backpackers (you train at one of the top Australia backpacking surf academies) and you know you are onto a winner.

All of these experiences are available through Xtreme Gap Year. The Adrenaline travel company specialists in Australia gap year programmes.
