Excellent working holiday intro tour in Melbourne

February 17, 2025by: Alexandra Paul - United StatesProgram: Melbourne Gap Year: Paid Work Opportunities in Australia

I recently joined the Melbourne Gap Year tour with Grabatour, and it was hands down the perfect way to kick-start my Australian adventure! From the moment I arrived, everything was well-organized, making the transition into a new country smooth and stress-free. The itinerary was a great mix of practical support and fun experiences. The team helped us set up essentials like bank accounts, tax file numbers, and SIM cards, which saved me so much time and hassle. They also provided great advice on job hunting, which gave me a real head start in finding work. Beyond the practical stuff, the city tours were a highlight. We explored Melbourne’s famous laneways, checked out the street art, and visited St. Kilda Beach, all while learning about the city’s culture. There were also plenty of opportunities to socialize, and I met an amazing group of people from all over the world. The support from their local team didn’t stop when the tour ended—they were always there to help with any questions I had. If you’re looking for an exciting, hassle-free way to start your working holiday in Australia, I highly recommend this tour!

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.
