Guest janey380 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hi, When we moved to Melbourne with ATC and Woods over 4 years ago all our relocation package was $1000 and when we arrived at our rental they provided us with some temporary furniture and kitchen things which we could either return to them when we got our own or buy off them it we choose too. I guess the location package could be very different now. We prefer the Bayside Suburbs i.e Mordialloc, Mentone, Parkdale,Blackrock,Sandringham, Brighton all have schools but I,m sorry we don't have children so can't fill you in on any much details on them I'm afraid. Also these areas are easy access to the city by train. I suppose a lot depends on the location of the Woods branch so if you find out any more let us know if you need any more info. Good Luck with everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest azzieb26 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Came over with ATC and woods nearly 1 year ago now, ATC charge £1250 for search of house and securing house (which I have to say they wernt very good at choosing house and communication with me).Depending on the branch you are at woods normally locate you to the branch you will be working unless you have a preference. I live in ringwood which is a nice suburb, good schools for my 7 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest josh2 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 hi dawn sh. OH has his interview in Dublin in September as well. Until then just trying to gather as much info as we can regarding suburbs and where we would like to live. I went on the Woods website and got their location map and then marked them on a suburb map, to give me an idea of what suburbs are like around the different locations. There is a website called domain with 'the age' list. This gives the suburbs a rating depending on a number of different criteria. Still trying to get it not to freeze on my computer but the idea seems to be that you can input what is most important to you. In my case, low crime rate, good transport, and schools. Then it will show you suburbs that match your criteria. As I say, I think that is the idea it keeps freezing on my computer at the moment!! Best of luck. Janey can I ask are there good transport links from bayside suburbs to Woods locations? Thanks Azzieb thanks, I'll have a look at Ringwood. If I can narrow down the search I'll be better. Seems every day I pick a new suburb, lol!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We manage with one car though as hubby uses car to get to work and I work in the city which is an easy 20 minute journey from we will live in Brighton. Any other questions don't hesitate.Cheers Janey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest azzieb26 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I also now work with capital smart after staying with woods for 6 months. Have to say capital are a very good company, have branches in similar locations as woods and don't tie you down to a contract like woods do. Both companies are good for a way in to australia but day to day work a lot better at capital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Simon powell Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Hi all I'm Simon,got a job interview with woods in Melbourne soon,does anyone have any advice ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynne1266 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 There are many companies that are willing to sponsor Panel Beaters and Sprayers from the UK so my only advice is look in to all companies. My husband had several interview's and job offers with different companies and went with the one that he felt was best for him. Good Luck with the interview :biggrin: Lynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Panda Devine Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hi, I have an interview tomorrow and was just wondering is it 1500 dollars all in or is it 1500 dollar plus the £780 on top. Have they said what areas are available? Thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
