Re: Job Hunting Perth
You're best waiting until you arrive before looking for work. Most employers are not interested in someone who doesn't live here yet. They can't interview you or get you started in work until you are actually here.

Agreed. There are lots of jobs in connection with mining around steel fabrication and construction with all the expansions going on. Most are shifts like 4 weeks on, 1 off on contract but the money is fantastic.

Agreed - no one will look at you until you are "in-country". Then I think you will have no problems getting work at all.

There are also plenty of Perth-based steelwork jobs which would be a standard 45 hour week with overtime.
