Working in Australia

I wouldn't say it's easy at all. Australia has a points system in place for those who wish to live there and work. I studied in Australia for three years (which earns you points), became a qualified teacher (which scores some of the highest points in the Australian points system) and still wasn't eligible.
Of course, there is the sponsorship option: ie, a company sponsors you for a specific role. But, much like any other country, they have to prove that they were unable to find someone qualified enough to fill that role in their own work force. Frankly, if you're looking for a job as a marketing assistant it sounds as though you don't have any experience and no experience makes it pretty impossible to get anyone to sponsor you.
That said, Australia changes its points system quite frequently. You should get on the immigration website to see how many points you would have right now: [www.immi.gov.au] . Marketing was always a profession that didn't earn many points but that may have changed. I would say you need to work at least three years in a career and gather some experience before you could realistically get work in Australia.

A clear and reasonable explanation and assessment of the situation angel. Well done.

Tildisvildis, checking the number of points you score will quickly tell you how likely it is that you would get a visa for Australia.

Hey,
Thanks for the answers!
The thing is that I was planning something more short term. I know that you can get a working visa for a year, without the whole system with points. Some of my friends have done this but they have worked as waitresses etc. I can see on the ads that some firms are looking for marketers for project, for six months or so. I'm thus wondering if there is anyone who has gotten such a job while on their working holiday visa?

Put up a link to an add of the type you are seeing. I have a feeling it could be a door to door salesman job you are looking at. 'Marketers' is a word that has many different meanings.

I'm pretty sure that WHVs restrict you working for any one company more than 6 months. I would imagine that there are short-term positions in marketing and so the fact that you won't be able to stay for long may not be a huge hindrance. I would say that any difficulty you might have starting your desired career in your home country will be even more difficult in another country where you will naturally be given less consideration than others as your prospective employer will know you won't be around for long. The people I knew in Australia who were on WHVs generally used the year as a way of taking a break from their careers or already had loads of experience and ended up getting sponsored in high level positions. That doesn't mean what you seek isn't possible. I just think you need to be prepared for various outcomes.

iF YOU fancy a spell in the mining industry in a remote part of Australia, there are jobs a plenty!
Teaching is actually not an in demand job here, unless you teach languages or maths and science at secondary level, there is actually an oversupply of teachers until the current crop retire.
Marketing is actually an area of growth, as a long shot you could get a company to sponsor you. Get a WHV and experience some shorter contracts.
