Great working holiday tour

by: Kaitlyn Clark - United StatesProgram: Sydney Intro Tour & Paid Working Holiday in Australia
10

I recently completed the Sydney Gap Year tour with Working Holiday Guide, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! As someone embarking on a working holiday in Australia, this tour was the perfect introduction to life Down Under. The entire experience was seamless, from the moment I landed in Sydney to the end of the tour. The team at Working Holiday Guide really thought of everything. They organized a smooth airport transfer and set us up in comfortable, centrally located accommodation, which made it easy to explore the city. The tour itinerary was fantastic, offering a great mix of practical sessions and fun activities. We had informative sessions on essential topics like setting up a bank account, applying for a tax file number, and job-hunting tips, which were incredibly helpful for settling in. The guided tours around Sydney were a highlight. We visited iconic landmarks like the Sydney Opera House, Bondi Beach, and the Harbour Bridge, and even got to discover some of the city’s hidden gems. The tour leaders were knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to answer any questions we had. What made this experience truly special was the sense of community it fostered. I met fellow travelers from all around the world, and we quickly formed a tight-knit group. Whether we were sharing meals, exploring the city, or just hanging out, there was always a great vibe. The friendships I made on this tour are ones I know will last well beyond my time in Australia. If you’re considering a working holiday in Australia, the Sydney Gap Year tour with Working Holiday Guide is the best way to start your adventure. It’s well-organized, informative, and incredibly fun—everything you could want to kick off your year in Australia!

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.
