Warning for Kiwis wanting to work in Australia

 New Zealanders are being warned to do their research before heading across the ditch for work.

A recruitment services expert believes over the last year or so the Australian market has dried up, and their government has been doing more to protect their citizens and keep them in work.

Managing Director of Hays New Zealand, Jason Walker, says the days of unskilled workers heading to Australia and picking up six figure salaries are now gone.

He says employers aren't hiring unless people have very specific skills.

Jason Walker also says there's been a number of issues which have made the Australian job market a tough nut to crack.

"It's very difficult, the Queensland government was almost bankrupt and making a significant number of redundancies, and there's a lot of unionised problems and issues over there with the mining sector."
