At the scary stage now flights booked, shippers coming in Aug, but cant stop worrying about not having a job to go to -

How many others dont have jobs to go, for those of you who got jobs after arriving how long did it take? what are your experiences. Both me and my partner are in IT and are looking at Brisbane, as we have family their......

wouldnt worry bout it too much, we just got back from a 6month reccie of oz and spent 6 wks in brisbane i put a few speculative cv's out in the market to relevant IT jobs i felt id go towards and nearly got my arm ripped off..... i dont think you'll struggle to find something fairly quickly.... i hope its still like that when i do get out there...

Are you me?!

Seriously, we're doing exactly the same. A bit daunting, but having had a look on Seek, i'm quietly confident. If that bums out, we should be able to rent for about 10 years on the capital we've got from our house

HMG

Us too. We've also got family in Brisbane and plan to start looking when we arrive.

I'm sure you'll have no problem whatsoever, and will wish you'd taken more time off when you do get a job!

Hi

We are also going without jobs. My hubby has a spouse visa and is in Sales here, I work in a school, no idea if we will find jobs but are quite willing to turn our hands to anything to get by.

Scary isn't it

Good luck

Ditto we are doing the same, looking to get flights booked soon, just waiting for the house to sell!!!! OH in IT, looking at Adelaide or Tas (poss career change if Tas) agencies don't want to know him until we are out there, he has spoke to many!!! All seem positive though for a job once out in Oz. Good luck everyone.

It's all very scary, but we are going with out jobs also, and not taking mega bucks with us, but still willing to give it our best shot, hubby is a train maintenance fitter at present, I am an administrator at a hospital, but also fully trained hairdresser, we are both willing to change jobs if needed, but really have to think, what would pay the bills.
we hopefully want to get to Perth for the end of september or maybe October? Still have not got the Visa yet?

I haven't got a job lined up yet but have had a few companies ask me to get in touch to arrange an interview when I arrive. Nothing major, just office work but it looks promising.

I'm quite happy to turn my hand to anything too - just so long as I can work 3/4 days a week.

No job yet, but planning on signing up with a couple of temping agencies, whilst trying to remember what it was I wanted to be when I grew up.
