Question
Hi there!
I am planning on taking a work and holiday visa in 2009 when i graduate from my uni here in Finland. I will then have a bachelor degree in international business/foreign trade. I have been an exchange student in australia for one semester in 2008. Im am looking at living in the sunshine coast area, will it be hard for me to find job with my education there? When my workandholiday visa expires, am i able to stay 3 more months as a tourist?

I am very much looking forward to Your answer,

best regards,
Susanna H, Finland.

Answer
Hi Susanna,
         Sorry for the delay, we have been away for the weekend.

There are plenty of jobs available at the moment in the South East area of Queensland. I am not sure you will be able to a job in your chosen field of international business/foreign trade though.

There is a lot of information on the Australian Government website. The links are below. From reading one of the websites, I am sure you will be able to stay for 3 months after you finish work.
