Two months after Working and Holiday Visa Australia

15th December morning 2022, I had arrived at Melbourne Airport for the first time ever. I have had never been to overseas previously and that day was my first time, it was completely beautiful experience. My mind is full of curiosity for this country especially job opportunities around. So basically I joined program namely Working and Holiday visa after my student visa was refused, with Working and Holiday visa a person can live, work or study in Australia for one complete year. If you want to extend your stay, it is possible but you do need to do designated job with suitable postcode. You can stay up to 3 years in Australia.

I saw many people from native country went to Australia through this visa, they earn pretty good income. Well besides the income, they live their life so balance. What I mean is what you earn is balanced with your expenses. It is so amazing. Those things I only knew just like the surface of everything. I did not know what beneath or beyond the surface yet until I experience it.

I spent about two months in Melbourne working as kitchen hand and housekeepers, it was lovely there since I got Ozzie family who always back me up at any circumstances. Drove me to work and pick up after the shift had finished. This beautiful moments has time limit and it pushes me away. Since I want to staying extra years in Australia, I have to work in regional area or with eligible postcode with the required job as well. Once I went to Colbinabin for processing tomatoes, I was there for two days only and the company told me that there were long holiday came since the season had not started yet. I went back to Melbourne two days after I had arrived at Colbinabin, I feel bad for myself. I wanted to cry but I could not.

Upon the arrival to Melbourne, I stayed with the same Ozzie family and worked at the same place like previously. I worked about another 1 month and there was one night that changed my mind, there was an opportunity to work at regional area and it is eligible for the second year of the visa. Without any further research, I decided to go and here i am right now.

At first during the interview, it was good for me since I want to work. Eventually the job is not really good and out of expectation. My hands were shore and could not form a fist, some people were yelling at me, saying that I was slow, lazy and annoying. I was like “oh okay” since I did not want to argue with them.

Three weeks I have been doing the job at Poultry, there was bad news last week from the manager. He stated that the workers should work by just 4 days during the week, having more time with family or relatives at home or considered quality time. Obviously I was not happy at all since it did not fulfil my purpose here in Tamworth. So I make up my mind on Saturday, sending an important message to one of the representative from Sydney. I asked him regarding the job opportunities in other region and he said there is Job opportunity. Well that was good news, probably I will move from Tamworth by the end of this month and working in other places.
