Newcomer Questions Canadian working in health analytics, I'm looking to work and live in Darwin. Is there any hope for a visa or an employer taking on a 6-month working holiday visa?
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone here would be able to give me some guidance on employer's willingness to either take on someone on a working holiday visa, or sponsor an international applicant.
I'm specifically looking at Darwin, this is the region of Australia that most interests me in trying out, and I have a pretty extensive work experience in analytics, project management and business analysis broadly; and in healthcare data specifically.
I've applied to a few positions so far, but understandably most aren't looking to hire someone for only 6 months, or go through visa sponsorship.
Am I wasting my time with my current outlook? Alternatively, I've been looking at pivoting into medical radiography since the schooling cost in Canada is heavily subsidized, and then applying for those positions in Darwin.
Thank you very much for any advice and help! I want to make this dream a reality.
