I want to rent apartment but how can book prior of my arrival ? Real estate agents can guarantee booking in advance?

Thank you

I thought I would share positive news that I have been working for a week and my boyfriend got offered a job today with Australia Post. Both are short term contracts but are bringing the money in so are fine for now! We have also brought a little car to get us around. Next big job is to find somewhere to live long term!!

Great. Can you please share the strategy you applied for the job offer.

Congrat once again

yes you are right that hard to research from oceans away, but what are you suppose to say as a new migrant to the town, when a Centerlink employee tells you not to even bother to look at the jobs what they list because almost all of them are "already taken" than you walk into an agency, whose job is to hep you to find a job, tells you to just email the resume and someone will get back to you - no offense, but this is so unprofessional, especially in a Capital of a country.

 

We are still positive, but how should one keep up hope in the long term if nobody wants to even talk to you. Why don't you just say it straight) goes for the government): we have no need for any professionals but for those who are Australian citizens to wannabe migrants. and shut the damn door on immigration to ACT.

 

Or when someone tells you "you can only get to places if you are networked in in Canberra". Yeah, thank you very much for the advice, rather why aren't you willing to make suggestions that there is this social club and go there or here to help you create that network.

 

We won't get back on that ship to the UK, mister. We're here to make home and if Canberra doesn't want us, there are many other regions to go. And it will be Canberra's loss nevertheless to say......

Hi Maggie2012,

I understand your views. As advised by Quoll, try and get involved in other roles outside your skillset built over the years. You can always get back into your skillset after some months with Aussie job experience and a bit of networking built from workplace and social activities. You need few cash to get involved.

Do check recruiters involved in disability care. You can google and continue to seek information from people about it. Though I am still offshore but should be in Canberra by 2014. The people i know on ground in Canberra gave me this priviledge information. Do take it seriously.

Cheers and good luck.

You can do a search and you will find that many people will comment that their UK and Australian CVs are identical. Mine are.

Thanks. I will do the search.

Hi Rupert,

I quite agree with you. But i also believe a structure of a resume slighty defers from country to country not the content.

That's what i am looking for. You can throw more light.

Hi Mattybe,

Thanks
