jen140977 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Hi all, been a while since I've posted, so many things to sort out. Well we have now booked the flight for 30 Sept!!!! Applying for loads of jobs, mainly through WA gov and not hearing a thing. I am desperate for one of us to get employment before we arrive, I am a social worker, hubby a mechanic/ store person but we will do anything/ and I mean anything. Anyone in a similar position, any advice? thanks xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a break! Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I think its not uncommon for people to hear nothing back until they are actually here. Good luck everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Don't panic Jen. Most people find they have to arrive before employers will consider them. Also, the state is VERY slow at replying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 We where here over 3 months before we got work.Just try and be patient and just keep applying.Its better to be in the country. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jen140977 Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Hi Donnachivers, 9.10 from Manchester Where you stopping when you arrive?, we going to Warnbro, near Rockingham.

<Dan> Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 We too have no jobs yet and fly out on 18th Nov. Been applying for some on a few websites, but not heard anything back at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Not hearing back is not unusual for Aus in general, even when you do get here, my wife applied for 50+ jobs! got maybe a dozen replies, 3 interviews (non agency) and 1 job, agencies were a particular waste of time, they call her for an interview in Perth CBD, she has the interview, they tell her she is completely acceptable and they will put her forward for vacancies, then hears nothing back from them for months, in the meantime, she has a job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkiwd Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I agree with Druid, most of the jobs I applied for didn't reply or even acknowledge the applications. Good luck though, you will find it a bit easier once you are here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobypatch Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 When applying for job's, make sure your email doesn't have a .co.uk at the end. As everyone else says, you really need to be here. It took me a month until I got a job. I'm working way below my skill set, but it brings in money.
