ozzy male looking for work in the pacific

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

hi,

i have been scouring the forum for info on working in the pacific islands. From what i gather it is extremelly difficult to get working visa's in most countries. i am an australian male, 21 years of age and am an experienced hotel/bar manager.

i am just wondering if anyone knows of anywere that i WILL OR MIGHT be able to find work with or without a visa. i have an australian and a british passport if that makes a differance.

i am hoping to leave in november for an undefined amount of time, im not going to make a fortune, im going for the experience.

any advice would be much appreciated,
cheers

You might have more luck looking for work on one of the Barreier Reef Islands.
Most Pacific countries need to find jobs for their own people - and hospitality is a good area for locals. Local salaries are also much lower than Australian ones. If you really want to work in the Pacific, get a qualification they need, like scinece, maths or English teaching, or medicine.
