Guest GillianM Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi, well had interview today, and Austin was offered a job with Woods. So just to let them know 4-6 wks before we move so they can say what bodyshop he will be working in and Christine will get us a rental for arriving. Package all sounds good.

Guest GillianM Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi, not too sure. Waiting on getting our 176 visa hopefully Oct/Nov, we know a couple who are interested in our house, so if they still want to buy it, will save time trying to sell. We are thinking Feb/March next year. Gillian x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GillianM Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 Hi there, will it not depend on which bodyshop you will be working in, then you can look at suburbs near to where you work. Gillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Berwick is nearer all Woods branches, although Mornington is a beautiful area it takes about 40 mins just to get from Mornington to Berwick. I work in Kew and live in Berwick and that takes me 40-45mins. I guess it all depends what sort of cummute time you are happy with. Do you have a branch location yet?

Congratulations on the job offer, both Berwick and Mornington are beautiful places. The downside is that Mornington does not havea train line so you would have to drive to Frankston if you needed the train for commuting.

We've got 2 children that are coming with us, my son is 11 and my daughter is 5 and I have 2 older daughters who will be 20 next month but they're not moving with us :cry:.

Guest Hearne_Family Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 To all wanting to work for woods...find out as much as you can before you go! Another one post wonder, care to share your experience? Branch, job description, work period and your views? Posting a reply as you have is no help to anybody, at least back up your 'warning' with reasons. Many thanks, Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynne1266 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 To all wanting to work for woods...find out as much as you can before you go! As you probably know we are all adults and it goes without saying that we would do our research before we made such a BIG decision about our futures and I would hope that everyone does it regardless of what company they are going to work for or even what visa they apply for. Please tell us why you feel this way. Have you posted on this before under a different name ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been looking on web at different areas to stay,but Berwick ticks majority of boxes for us.We would like to find out more about other suburbs,but haven't had much luck finding specific websites.If you know of any and could pass them on,would really appreciate it.

Cheers lol angie.xxx Hi Angie, I know just what you mean !!! One day i'm all excitted and the next i'm questioning myself and worrying if i'm doing the right thing. There are quite a few suburbs that I like the look of, one of them being Sanctuary Lakes :yes: but, I think because of the locations of the workshops we're goning to head towards Berwick area. Another reason is because alot of others are heading there and it would be good to all meet up and help each other out with settling in ...thats the idea anyway..lol. Have you been on Moving to Melbourne Meet & Greet,Furnished Rentals,Airport Pickup Relocation Assistance its run by a lady called Kate from PIO its got suburb discriptions and i found it really usefull. I hope you don't mind, i've done a friend request for you most of the other friends are either working or about to work for woods or people who are heading to Melbourne too.

Guest parc Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hi Lynne, Thanks for that weblink,i had previously came across it,but didn't save it!!!! Are you renting when you get out,if so,how long for. Have you contacted any schools for info. What i'm a bit worried about,is, finding the right school for my daughter then renting a property that doesn't cover:wideeyed: the school catchment area.
