Took me 5 weeks (and in that time I turned down a couple of jobs as well), so I ticked the one month box coz it was a lot nearer than the next option

Re: Share your OZ experience pleeeeeeeeeeease
6 weeks for me so far and nothing yet! Mind you, the first 2 or 3 weeks were spent sorting the logistics out (kids schools, car, house etc..) and doing the beach thing and so have only been looking seriously for 3 weeks or so.
Still, I'm finding it really frustrating. I apply and get quick, positive responses from recruitment consultants only to be let down within a few days.
Any tips on getting a job would be appreciated!
