rickandange Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 After all my worrying about getting jobs and being able to afford to live over here, after just two weeks in we've both landed permanent jobs and have quadrupled our combined UK income... so you can do it!!!!

wild rose Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Congratulations! I bet that's a weight lifted, it's definitely one of our worries. What are your occupations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickandange Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks for your support chaps. It's been a good few months of sending endless CVs and letters with not even a thanks but no thanks, but in the end we've both got work in the same jobs we had in theUK but both with more responsibility, and more progression opportunities. I'm in IT Support in a private school and Rick is now a welding supervisor. He is new to the role so his potential earnings will be much higher. We were told that things work very slowly over here, but our feet have hardly touched. I think if you've got the right approach and put a bit of effort in then there really are plenty of opportunities out here still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrogers Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Happy for you both. We are heading out from the UK in September. Same worries about finding permanent work ASAP. Hope we are as lucky as you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
