Hi thewoods from West Yorkshire

What sort of job are you after? Most listings are online now if you find the right site. Are you finding Oz application difficult? How far are you along?

Cheers from Leeds.

The West Australian http://www.thewest.com.au is the paper. Saturdays and t a lesser extent Wednesday (I would think are the days).

Websites http://www.seek.com.au and http://www.jobsearch.gov.au - there are others.

Know that the online job databases attached to the papers reflect a different range of jobs to the printed paper.

You might want to watch that agencies don't give you the run around too much. As has been discussed elsewhere on the forum , many of the jobs are non-existent. You get asked in for interviews with agency staff for something that does not even exist - presumably to see what sort of people they have on their books or some such reason - but it all costs bus fares/petrol so is a bit of a pain. I have started to ask about the job before going now and if they seem hesitant to tell you who is offering the post then it is probably a swizz.

Hi,
The job agencies are a waste of time, when we got here we went around every job agency and were put on their books (that was 5 weeks ago) we have not heard nothing.
Hubby started work on 10th April, what we did was to bring over approx 50 cvs get the local yellow pages (free from any post office) then we went around to all the companies in hubbys line of work (fitter/turner).
We were told by the locals don't go to the agencies, go to the local pub's as you will have more chance of finding a job there.

Yep - agencies are a joke.
