Jobs In Australia – Project Accountant Required!
Today’s featured job in Australia is for a Project Accountant. As always, we like to keep an eye on breaking Australian news and today a question was raised as to whether you should buy Australian dollars now since the exchange rate against the US dollar is so high. The news article was very helpful and dovetailed nicely into some expert advice which we thought would be worth sharing.
The American dollar is still the world’s reserve currency and comparison was made between the two dollars which showed that two and a half years ago, the Australian dollar was trading at 0.63 US dollars and today it is above parity at $1.10 USD.
Since nobody knows how long this situation will last, a question was asked whether you should buy up lots of currency immediately if you are planning to travel or find work in Australia in the near future or simply wait until nearer the time? Buying too early means you might make a loss if the value rises and buying too late means you risk missing out by having to pay more for your money.
The helpful advice recommends the following:
Spread the currency load!
Basically that means the best course of action is to buy some dollars now, wait a while before getting more and then buy the rest just before you go. The benefits of this system are that if the rate drops, at least you get to enjoy some benefits and if it rises, you reap even more rewards.
For those of us that aren’t going to work Australia any day soon but would like to, here’s the job spec for the Project Accountant:
