SaffanZimbo Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 OH saw an advert on Seek.com for a job south of Perth and so on Sunday evening we replied to the advert with a covering letter and attached his CV and thought nothing more of it as we have replied to 2 other adverts this way and had no reponse. Monday morning OH got an email asking inviting him for a telephone interview! Interview confirmed for 7am on Thursday - result! Even if he doesn't get the job it is heartening to know that the work it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip1690 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Fantastic news, I must admit, it's the thing that scares me the most about moving out there. To have that taken care of would be a great weight off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beandownunder Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 good luck SaffanZimbo's OH! hope it all pans out well and as you said good to hear there is some work out there.... my OH has seen a job he's interested in which is excellent money and includes relocation costs, however it's in Brisbane.......certainly wouldn't write it off out of hand if it means we get to Aus!

Cat Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 That's fantastic, thanks for posting. We are in the same boat. I have a 457, coming over in sept and hoping my husband can secure a job before we go too. Feels like less risk! You mind me asking which field your OH works in?

I dont know what impression you have of FIFO work but its actually harder to get a FIFO job than a local job. You cant just walk onto a mine site.
