Getting a Job in America

With ever-increasing competition for entry into Australia and its employment market, it is useful for migrant job-hunters to arm themselves with as much practical and relevant information as possible. This handbook aims to provide a step-by-step guide to all aspects of finding both permanent and casual employment in Australia. This revised edition explains the economic climate, where to look for work, what pay and conditions to expect and provides key information about tax, contracts, your rights at work and the Australian philosophy of employment. The book includes details about the tax system being implemented in July 2000 plus updates on pensions, Newstart allowances and economic conditions, as well as useful web site addresses to enable online job searching outside Australia.
