There is also a call for administrative and office work in the corporate world. Why Ireland? Closely located to so many other European countries you have the endless opportunities to explore.

Japan

Uruguay

There are a few addition checks that need to take place to travel to Uruguay because the Australian Government needs to attach a letter of support to your application. These requirements include a certified copy of a valid passport, certified copy of one other form of identification with current residential address (or mobile work number) and certified copies of your tertiary qualifications. You’ll also need a letter from your university confirming the level of study, or originals of academic transcripts. There’s a fair bit involved, but just imagine finishing work then hitting local street markets up in Montevideo.
