Hi there,

Funnily enough, I used to work in their Sydney office a few months ago.

The Global Work & Travel Co. actually does provide a free job placement service. There is no catch, except you will have to pay your own travel expenses: airfares, insurance and visa etc.

They are probably Australia’s top company if you’re looking at work and travelling in Canada, USA or the UK. They are one of the most used companies by employers overseas looking to employee people on working holiday programs.

In Australia, it’s actually illegal to charge for finding and organising jobs, so if you ever come across other companies charging a consultancy fee or placement fee, then you have to watch out. When I was there, we had an ex-staff turn competitor who would be charging a $600 consultancy fee for example. – then she was shut down and I don’t think any of her clients ended up getting a job, nor their $600 back.

The Global Work & Travel Co. actually has some great ties with some of Canada’s leading ski resorts and great hotels, and it is the employers who pay Global for providing the staff. Thats where they make their money if you are wondering how they provide a free service to job seekers.

They also have a partnership with a travel agency called Ten Travel who offer great value-for-money packages for those heading to Canada. They’re very flexible, safer and cheaper than going through the bigger, more known travel agencies.

Although I haven’t been on a working holiday program before, I wouldn’t recommend looking anywhere else if you’re looking for a secure, hassle free working holiday.

I hope this helps you.

You must be joking.

Don’t you think if there was free money like that some criminal would come up with a scheme and bleed it dry in about a day?

My sister and her husband are over in Fiji and have been literally ‘trapped’ there due to Cyclone Tomas. They were supposed to fly out on Monday however all flights were cancelled and they’ve been forced to stay at a more expensive hotel at their expense, even though it’s not their problem. I spoke to her earlier and she wanted to know whether her and her husband would get free travel insurance having used their gold visa card to pay for it all, if they keep the receipts?

Hi,

I may not help in this but i can suggest you to consult any near by insurance agent to get better information regarding your problem.

Larry
