PerthLoveCaz Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi everyone, im looking to go out to Perth end of the year, hoping to look at just before christmas as more chances of finding work with christmas temps etc.. i am going out alone and although my brother lives in Perth and has been there for 7 years im still going out alone im just wanting to know if anyone else has and how they got on with it and did you feel alone or was it easy to get into the swing of things? Im hoping to find work within a few weeks. I am currently working as a receptionist and a sales assistant in a department store. Hope to hear some feedback, thanks in advance :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave carter Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 im planning on trying to get a job before i leave but if not ill just continue searching when i arrive out there. not sure what im doing accommodation wise yet, ill sort that nearer the time. im an engineer( cnc machinist etc) by trade but ill work anywhere if i need to. im sure thell be times where ill feel very alone and homesick but im sure ill be fine.... im not planning on coming back after ive left no matter how hard things get :biggrin: will you be able to stay with your brother atall or are you going to find somewhere yourself?

PerthLoveCaz Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Yeah i will stay with my brother but i do plan to house share for a while, I have visited Perth a number of times now and i kind of know my way round, so im hoping to get a job in the city and as you say just stick with it and carry on no matter how hard and homesick ill get, a walk down the beach at night with the sunsetting and ill be ok again ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobj Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Love your attitude, missy. By all means, do it on your own. Cheers, Bobj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
movingtoaussieland Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I moved to Melbourne on my own just under 3 months ago - LOVE IT! Sounds like you're going with the right attitude, and that's half the battle. Do some research, find some social groups/activities that you can get involved in to meet new people. We have a Newbies Meetup group here in Melbourne that run events for newcomers, might be worth checking out Meetups.com to see if there's anything similar in Perth? I've found it a great way to meet people. Housemates and work colleagues will also be a good starting point. Jump into it with a positive attitude, be prepared to put a bit of work into making new friends and you'll be just fine. Totally with you on the walk on the beach - I do that whenever I start feeling a little homesick. Best of luck with the move guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachrat Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 You're brother will be there won't he? So it won't exactly be alone. Either way, it's a great city, I'm sure you'll meet people easily. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
