paulw3012 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hi there, Hi to all on 'Pomsinoz', hope your all well, im currently living in uk and have done since i was 2 years old, im a dual citizen of uk/aus and am selling up to come back to oz. If anyone has any help or advice regarding best places to consider to live and work as anywhere in oz is fine by me. Also am possibly looking into handyman/caretaker maintenance type of employment as thats what ive been in for a few years now, but little hard to try and apply for jobs from all the way back in the uk. Possiblities of renting on a caravan site maybe until im on my feet, maybe some of you have more advice regarding this. I would really appreciate any help and advice you all have regarding this. Hope to hear form you all soon. paul 'ozzie lost in uk lol ':cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacaranda Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Sorry no idea!I just know those websites as alot of posters suggest them.Are you going to Oz alone?I'm from SA,so if I can help any way for that state,I'd be happy to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulw3012 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hiya fella, Yes im coming over alone and theres only me, so its a little easier to arrange things and i had looked at jobs in mount gambia but not heard anything yet, id gladly live anywhere but ideally a live in post would be ideal as it sorts out accomodation aswell as employment. Ive just applied to a few on the site you reccomended for live in posts, and my main trade is handyman/caretaker with pool experience so this would be a great job as its what im used to. cheers paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh thats great news hey?Another website is Helpx.This is a great site and I think you might like it!"Hosts"ask for helpers,usually on properties/farms.They offer you a bed/meals in exchange for you working around the property say 4 hours per day 5 times a week.Now some people might turn their nose up at working for no wages but.......the way I see it?You stay at someone's place (they're all temp jobs by the way,and some go for 2 weeks,some for 6mths!)do the work,get to know people,maybe make a few contacts,and whilst you're not working?You can look for a paid job!Fab opportunity if you ask me!I'd do it!Have a look at the site,let me know what you think!There's also Woofers (google woofers Australia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marisawright Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Just a quick question, are these employers aware that the applicant is currently oversees or are they just for aus residents, do you know? When an ad says they want "Australian residents" they usually just mean someone who has the legal right to reside in Australia, not whether or not they're actually in the country. However, most employers will be reluctant to hire someone without actually meeting them, so I'd say your chances of getting a job before you arrive are extremely remote.
