Accountants

Hi Mary77, I'm both CIMA & now CPA qualified accountant and, unfortunately, there is plenty of accountants in Perth; both employed and unemployed! When I came over in September 2013, it took me 4 weeks to get a temporary contract role before I was fortunate to gain a full time role, which I'm currently still doing.

 

I get the daily updates from Seek and I can say that it is very quiet at the moment. From my experience, the job market seems to close down from around end of November to end of January for Christmas and summer holidays before it picks back up again.

 

What I would suggest is that you build up a positive relationship with recruitment agents as they will be, in most cases, your first way to getting a foot in the door. I emailed the main agents (Michael Page, Robert Half, Robert Walters and Hudson plus some smaller ones too) before I moved and arranged a face-to-face meet with them when I arrived - this seemed to help me! What you will find is that the Perth market is small in comparison to other major cites and, like most, is very much who you know...so the quicker you build up the relationships and network then the better for you.

 

Good luck & if I can help in anyway then please let me know.
