Hi all
Adam has a telephone interview - mark II tonight. They have already taken up a reference. I don't think the role will be ultimately what he wants but it would be nice to have something to go to (esp. as we had to take a low offer on the house). We had budgeted for 6 months without work - so fingers crossed And hopefully they will not try and offer a really crap salary (though I wouldn't be surprised if it was casual initially).
We'll keep you posted.
On a selfish note - I was quite looking forward to have a month or two all together when we arrived in Melbourne

Good Luck! would be great to have a job to come out to.
And this having 2 months off together when you get here isnt all its cracked up to be, I know because I am nearly 2 months into it

fraser

Good luck it could make a hell of a difference

The Crow

Ha, you could be right - we will already have spent a month together in Malaysia!

The Crow

Thanks Fraser! It's going to be a bit of a shock for Adam as he's worked in the same company since school
Any luck on your job front?

fraser

Nothing yet, just waiting for the exams. Going to start looking for other work again once the holidays are over.

Really wish you luck. Had a recent phone interview myself so know what you're going through.

Fingers crossed.

The good luck worked and Adam was offered the position Not a great salary, but better than nothing and a good opportunity to get some valuable Aussie work experience. He'll start sometime at the end of Feb - it's going to be strange for him as he's been in the same company here since he left school
Good news for me too - I can be lady of leisure for a while and explore all the beaches etc with the girls

Fantastic news Rachel, what's the job if you don't mind me asking.

The Crow

Thanks Fraser! He's working for a small printing company - doing pre-press work - all the graphics side without the actual designing. Ultimately he'd like to be involved with more design and maybe web design.
Mind you he did think of a complete career change and thought about the police until he saw the salary..... I'm quite happy with him NOT being a copper.
His ideal job would be snowboard instructor in winter and surf instructor in summer

Good job about the police :scared:

The very best of luck. I had a couple before we left and found them OK. Fingers crossed. It will be great to be earning straight away
