Re: Young Couples!
Pumpkin, what do you think my chances are of getting a decent job (i.e. not in a shop or a bar - I'm not good with the public!) while on a WHV and living on a permanent basis with my Aussie boyfriend who has a good steady job? If I explain to them that I'm not going to bugger off travelling that should stand me in good stead right? I'm moving to the Central Coast in June, having a month off to settle in before I start looking for work.
If you are in the right place at the right time you will be fine.

It is pretty much luck of the draw. Hubbie really struggled on a student visa to find ANY job, even applying for crappy ones. However he can only work 20hours a week, whereas you will be able to work full time. If you can find some maternity leave cover you would be laughing. Depending on your type of work, agencies would be a good start.

For every person who's out of work for three months, there's probably someone who walked straight off the plane and into a job. But there are a lot more whinging poms than smug ones.
