Re: Brisbane, 7 months in!
Hi, just to complete my update, yesterday i was offered not one but 2 jobs!!!
After considering both I am going to be working for mission australia starting next tuesday., it's a great job, local, good money, mon - fri with bank hol's etc. off.............yeah!!!
To those who are looking, keep on going, it's so so hard, i applied for everything, in all different areas just to get my foot in the door somehwere but unsuccessfully, it isn't always as easy as people make out, I've wanted to work since I got here and only now (nearly 8 months in) have i been offered a job. so good luck to everybody who's looking, it'll be worth it in the end!

Well done and I hope you really enjoy it.
I start a new job next month, but I haven't been looking for too long. From what I've read and heard, it seems easier to get a job over here in Perth, there's certainly alot of jobs about anyway. Before anyone starts, that's how I have found it personally.

Nice 1 Karen..Well done.. I recon your OH will get a job soon too.There are loads of developments happening or due to happen round Brisbane.They must be crying out for HR drivers to shift all that spoil and to bring in aggregate and concrete.The crane ticket is a bonus too..
You'll be minted soon.
