Finding jobs abroad
Discussion
You start be realising that you have no right to live in any of those places and look at the visa requirements,
It is highly unlikely that you will get a visa to more to the USA, short of marrying a US citizen or being transferred there by your employer it is very hard. Canada is not much easier, but possible, Australia a little easier than that.
So read up in the visa requirements and take it from there

I know my job is on the list of Australian shortages but how would you go about applying and what are the chances of being offered a job as a foreigner?It is highly unlikely that you will get a visa to more to the USA, short of marrying a US citizen or being transferred there by your employer it is very hard.

Although I'm writing this from Sydney my experience is in people relocating here through work. I own a business here and, although I'm not based here, we've brought a number of people over on 457 visas and one is now permanent.
But if you don't have an employer who will sponsor you I don't know how you would get one unless your role is in a lot of demand, it must be possible though but I suspect only by applying and qualifying for a visa and getting out here and looking.
Be aware though that it's strange place right now, parts of the economy, like tourism, are tanking due to the high dollar, whilst mining is booming. Finding somewhere to live in Sydney is an absolute nightmare and incredibly expensive.
Try posting I the Australia section, or just reading there

Finding work before you get there is very difficult, unless you are very senior or specialist in a skill short field.
If you're under 30 then the Working Holiday Visa programme is great for Australia and Canada. USA doesn't have anything similar as far as I know.
Failing that I'd look to make as many contacts there as possible, and go there for interviews. I know it sounds nuts flying to the other side of the world for job interviews, but since you want to move there it would be a good idea to explore the place and take a holiday there at some point anyway, and being on the ground is a lot more convincing to potential employers than firing off emails and phone calls from the other side of the world.

Do you want to give me your job title, salary and preferred location so I actually find you your specific job or do you think you can manage to use the internet without someone holding your hand?
Are you genuinely saying you havent first thoroughly scoured the internet to find relevent specific jobs in the places you wish to move to before asking the most vague and general question about working abroad?

If your looking to work in Australia I'd be looking at the visa restrictions before you start looking at jobs as you may well find one you like but realise your quality of life isn't going to be what you have in mind or aspire to due to the legalities which you could potentially be subjected to depending on what type of visa your granted.
I moved from England to Canada last year (Canadian Fiancee) and have a couple of tips.
1. Move to Alberta - The Oil and Gas industry in Alberta has created a boom here, I'm sure it's some sort of bubble but regardless of that, Alberta is where the jobs are right now (I work with a TON of people from Ontario and the far East of Canada who have come to escape a lack of work.)
2. I have no idea what your background is, but if you simply want to come out and work in another country and are not trying to further a particular career, I'd recommend targeting the hospitality industry in the Rocky Mountains.
Specifically - Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, I currently work for them at the beautiful Banff Springs Hotel (google it) It's not particularly hard to get in here, I work with 7 British people alone in one small department (3 are managers). Pretty much everyone who comes to the Rockies wants to work here, why? Well, how about accommodation @ £200 per month and FREE food - 24/7, oh and if you're into Golf - you can play one of the best courses in Canada for about $100 for the ENTIRE season (normal green fee is $225 for ONE round!)
Yes, depending on your experience the pay isn't great - but the cheap as chips accommodation and free food of course saves you a ton of cash.
The best bit of course is living in the Rockies - It's almost a spiritual experience just to walk around here. In Banff - we live INSIDE a National Park, the Mountains are a stones throw away, you can see them for every angle in town, on top of that you can expect to see Deer and Elk wandering the streets, and in my case - more than a few close Encounters with Grizzly Bears (I work on the Golf Course.)
For those that like wildlife - here's my encounter with the Grizzlies last week - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS4iFcH118M
In terms of WHY you would want to do this? I get it. Everywhere has it's pros and cons but I personally have never been happier since I landed in Canada and have not missed the Island once - people yes, place no. That's not a dig at England, it'll always be home but I think it's very plausible that certain countries will suit a person better than their original place of birth - certainly the case for me anyways.
Good luck with your adventure!
