Today’s job market is a fierce one. Worst than it has ever been. And there been some pretty wild ones. The reason for today’s market being so rough is that although demand increases day by day, but supply multiplies day by day.
Competition is now the driving force for the global market. And its not a favorable one for beginners in any field or industry. People expect no compromises in quality if they are paying for a service or product. Heck, not even free things will be appreciated if there’s the slightest compromise in delivery quality.
This makes it very difficult for beginners to get the experience they need without getting extorted. It’s almost a paradox. You don’t get work if you don’t have experience & you don’t get experience unless you get work.
But life isn’t that hard for tradies. There’s a bunch of places that a tradie can find work, if he has the right skills, qualifications, & certifications.
The great thing about being a tradie in today’s day and age is that while most people are opting for the end jobs, this skill is increasing day by day in demand and decreasing day by day in supply. But that doesn’t mean that there you don’t need experience to get many jobs as a tradie. Nobody wants a rookie tradie working in their house. And if you’re not skilled in your trade, you’re going to run out of work really soon.
So how to get those jobs without doing free work in the trade you spent years learning and practicing.
This is what this article is about. I’m going to list some platforms that allow Tradies to find those initial jobs that can help a tradie in Australia kickstart their career in Australia.
