Temping agencies - Melbourne
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on temp agencies in Melbourne?
I got here a week ago and am a bit bamboozled by trying to find a house and work at the same time ...
I'm trying to find one that specfialises in media/arts or that kind of field, so I don't end up filing and photocopying!
Cheers,

We'll be arriving in Melbourne at the end Nov and as far as finding a house have you tried www.domain.com.au; they seem to be the biggest. As Sue'll be working at the Alfred and I'll prob be in CBD we're looking at St Kilda, Prahran, Toorak, South Melbourne, etc
Hope this some help. Well done on making a brave move - we're getting the jitters a bit at the mo' but I'm told this is quite normal!
Good luck, stay strong - tough times are for getting through.
Cheers

Re: Temping agencies - Melbourne
Cheers Matt, I'll try those ones you mentioned. I'm sure I'll find something, I think I just hoped naively that a job will just fall into my lap! Now I realised I haven't I'll start to do some serious flogging around with my CV!
The areas you mentioned you're going to be looking for houses in are all pretty nice. One thing we've realised though is check the locations before you decide to go visit them; we're looking in the same areas and wanted something close to the main strip in each place (ie so near the bars, shops etc) but realised that anything more than a block or so away is in the middle of nowhere and maybe not a great place to be wandering round at night!
Hve you got a job yourself? My partner's IT firm over here is recruiting if not ...
Good luck ...

My fiance is going to be looking for a job in IT if or when we emigrate - can I ask what company your husband is with? Also, i work in arts administration here in Wales - please keep me updated with what you're looking for - which websites / agencies have jobs in the arts. Thanks! Heather

Re: Temping agencies - Melbourne
Ditto with Heather, Helen. What company does your husband work for. My OH is desperately seeking a new job in IT.
Also, with the house hunting, have you tried Elwood and Elsternwick? I go out at night on the back streets of Elwood, usually up to the local shop or walk to the train station. Never had a problem. Its a fairly quiet little suburb and very close to the local bars and shops and restaurants.

Ditto the others - we're emigrating to Melbourne at the end of November and my husband is looking for IT work (he's a Senior Analyst Programmer).
I hope you have some luck with your job and house hunting

My partner works for SMS Management and Technology; the ad is on the Guardian website now.
No joy really at all for arts admin so far, will keep you posted! I think you'd have to apply direct to the institution really ...
