Australia has several weather zones and many different crops are grown. This means that there is usually work for fruit pickers somewhere in the country. If you’re interested in picking fruit in Australia, plan well and be prepared to work hard!
Working in the sunSunglasses and sun cream are absolutely essential if you want to avoid sunburn. A long-sleeve cotton shirt may not seem appealing, but you will be thankful for it in the heat of the day.
Drinking enough water is crucial. It will save time if you keep your water in something that is attached to your belt so that you can take a drink whenever you need to.
Other requirementsSometimes, employers don’t supply tools, so you need to use your own. Check first to make sure you have what you need.
Consider taking a music player so that you can listen to music. The days can be long, and it makes the time go faster.
Payment methodsSome farms pay a flat rate (by the hour), but it is not common for work that involves collecting fruit; this type of payment is generally for work in the shed (棚). The other more usual model is the piece rate: your pay depends on the amount of fruit you bring in at the end of the day.

Are blacksmiths (铁匠) going extinct in America? Not according to Craig Kaviar, a famous practitioner of the craft (手艺) who is based in Louisville, Ky. If anything, he said, “there’s been a renewal.”
The industrial revolution (革命) made a lot of traditional blacksmith work out of date. But blacksmiths like Mr. Kaviar, 69, have found success creating so-called functional art. Mr. Kaviar, for instance, is regionally known for making handrails with metal leaves and birds. He recently completed a three-part archway for the local Crab Orchard Animal Sanctuary with almost Tim Burtonesque details. Mr. Kaviar said he had taken “the criteria the owner had” and had then made the work his own, adding horses, trees, a giraffe and more.
Mr. Kaviar reached a national audience on the HGTV show “Modern Masters” before going global. But it’s in Louisville that his work is most famous. And, in his telling, the craft is only growing in the area. “When I came to Louisville, there was no one doing it,” he said. “Now there are several other people around doing it as well. It’s a fine craft.”
Mr. Kaviar also works with Guns to Gardens, a group that repurposes guns which are voluntarily given up into garden tools. His role is straightforward: “I take one part of the gun and make a hole in the center. And then on one end, I flatten it.”
Mr. Kaviar said he would continue to work so long as his body could handle it. He is typically in the shop from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. or 7 p.m. “I fear that if I give it up, I’ll sit around watching TV too much,” he said. “It helps keep me in shape.”
“I also love using the tools and the feel of the metal,” he added. “When you’re striking hot metal, the metal has a different feel, and different heat. You can really judge what you can do through it.”

Technology has revolutionized (使革命化) the way we work in many ways. One of the most significant changes has been the shift towards remote and flexible work. With the rise of internet and cloud-based software, workers are no longer tied to a physical office and can work from anywhere with an internet connection. This has allowed for greater flexibility and work-life balance, as well as reduced commuting (通勤) time and costs.
Another major change is the increasing use of automation and artificial intelligence in the workplace. This has the potential to increase efficiency and productivity, as well as reduce the need for certain types of work. However, it also raises concerns about job displacement and the need for workers to adapt to new technologies.
Finally, technology has greatly expanded the types of jobs available. With the rise of the gig (临时工) economy and freelance (自由职业者) work, workers can now find opportunities in areas such as graphic design (平面设计), copywriting (文案撰写), and social media management. This has created opportunities for individuals to work in areas that were previously inaccessible or did not exist.
