Thanks again everyone... much appreciated.

The company plans to expand again in about 4 months time, so anybody looking for a job in investment finance after Christmas let me know


Chris - I'm pretty sure the girls will still be drinking in November, whereabouts is it you're heading to?

Went for a job today for a Treasury Manager for a Kiwi finance company that are setting up in Brisbane, wasn't too sure about the interview but was told I'd hear by tomorrow.

Just got a call saying that I'd be perfect for the job and had "amazed them" in the interview BUT they want to create a role for me instead. I'll be the manager of the role I went for (plus a couple others) and basically run the office when the Exec Director is out of it. They offered me more than I asked for and as if all that isn't good enough, I get a weeks paid trip to Auckland to meet the office over there and get a bit of hands on experience.

Very happy Job starts in 3 weeks as well, so I still have a couple of weeks to wind out of holiday mode!


Yiiipppppppppppppppppeeeee.... off to get a beer
Hi Michelle
Remember me? Well done on the job!! Ive been here now about 5 weeks here in Perth and settling in well. Getting married Saturday week, so wish me well hehe!
Hoping to look for work after the honeymoon, so if anybody out there in Perth wants some gardening done, email me!

Eitherway a new job is a good excuse for some shopping to be done I think....

We're heading for The Gap, Michelle. That's where I'm from before coming over here last year. And I will be looking for work, so might have to talk to you about that when I get back!

Look forward to seeing you sometime.

Cheers,
Chris
