Bondi, I used to do customer service (IT helpdesk & call centre) work. But because of various things that have happened in our life & different reasons (mainly kids) I havent worked for the last couple of years.

For now Ive put it off until the boys start school fulltime next year, but once they settle in I will be either looking for work or doing some study. Cant wait!

Shift supervisor for Toyoda-koki, a sub company of Toyota, building Axle components and Power steering.

Started climbing the ladder of becoming a football coach, and hold UEFA C badge qualification, but for one reason and another, had to give up coaching a couple of years ago. I would love it, I tell you LOVE IT, to return to coaching for a living when I settle in Oz.....alas it does not pay well.

I remember my mum slowly going nuts because of boredom in the US. She eventually did some volunteer teaching work for free as partners do not get work rights on US sponsored visas.

Despite all the crap she gets from working as a primary school teacher she would hate to be doing nothing.
