fiona Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hi all... This may seem like a really trivial question among the choas that is getting ready to move. We are arriving mid april- what is your advice about what clothes to bring with me. I dont have a job at the mo due to coming on OH visa. I will be looking for work and want to work in Early Years- nursery/ childcare sector etc. What kind of clothes will be ok for interview??? What about when the season changes??? I am trying to get it intot my head I am not going for a holiday but are going for good. Will my straighteners and hair dryer work there with an adapter Any advice ladies or gents lol.

jackboots Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hehe , its a stresser isn't it ? i was the same ... anyhow yup your elecricals will be great Weather will be Autumn here but feel like a Uk spring .. cool at night and in the am's could be windy and rainy or could be a warm mid twenties , to be honest it can differ greatly .. so bring some layers , maybe a lightweight jacket , shorts different tops thin long sleeved short sleed etc ( you can also buy a few bits here if needed ) smart interview wear , i always say first impressions are also the best !

piccolo Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 One tip I've been given by someone that lives there is buy underwear before you go, even Primark. Apparently it's either really expensive or of poor quality over there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolac34 Posted March 26, 2012 Report Share Posted March 26, 2012 Everything is expensive over here! So yes, get down to primark or M&S for your underware before you come. I haven't really bought any clothes from here (the odd bit in the sale or in Harbour Town - Discount Shopping Village) and still get everything shipped over from the UK. The department stores (HoF, Debenhams, John Lewis) and Next and M&S all ship out here to Australia so I find it so much cheaper to still buy from the UK. We are visiting the UK in 6 weeks and we are taking empty suitcases home to fill them up for our return trip! Thank goodness for Emirates 30kg allowance!
