The Perfect Start to My Australian Adventure – Highly Recommend!

by: Sophie Laplane - United StatesProgram: Melbourne Gap Year: Paid Work Opportunities in Australia
10

Joining the Melbourne Gap Year tour with Grabatour was the best way to start my working holiday in Australia. From day one, everything was well-organized, and the team made sure we had all the essentials sorted—bank accounts, tax file numbers, SIM cards, and even job support. It took away all the stress of settling in and allowed me to focus on enjoying the experience. The itinerary was a perfect balance of practical help and exciting activities. We explored Melbourne’s vibrant laneways, visited St. Kilda Beach, and got to experience the city’s amazing food and coffee culture. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help with anything we needed. One of the best parts of the tour was the people. I met an incredible group of fellow travelers, and the shared experiences made it easy to form friendships. Even after the tour ended, we stayed in touch and continued exploring Australia together. If you’re planning a working holiday in Australia, I highly recommend this tour. It gives you the perfect start, a great group of friends, and the confidence to begin your adventure the right way!

A Guide to Music Jobs Abroad

Why Work Abroad In Music

Each year, thousands of students graduate with degrees in music, so obtaining your dream music job can involve a great deal of hard work, competition, and convincing. The harsh truth of the matter is that music jobs (in any discipline) in the United States are extremely rare to come by, especially for performers and educators. Due to this, many newly-grads are looking for music jobs abroad, for more reasons than one. Working abroad in music offers individuals an opportunity to compete for jobs in a less saturated market, while expanding their professional experience and knowledge of the field (and a new place too!).

Music jobs abroad are a great prospect to consider, but these opportunities are also great additions to your marketability after the fact too. Organizations, companies, and schools around the world will look very highly upon international work experience, in almost any field, as it shows commitment, passion, and a desire to work and succeed a new environment. In the field of music, the benefits of working abroad last long after you return home and begin searching for jobs again. Working abroad in music can help prepare you for a whole host of career options, and give you the upper-hand over other applicants at the same time.
