gdjones Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Hi Members! My OH is thinking of visiting perth on his own end of Feb to see if it's for us, does anyone know of cheap rentals for about 2-3 weeks? He's from a construction background, any suggestions on where's best to go job hunting? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 You could have a look at gumtree for cheap rentals / rooms. There are also lots of backpacker hostels, a number of which do single rooms. You mention jobs. Do be aware that he must not enter on a tourist visa with the intent to look for work. You mention he is in construction. Does he have a trade on the sol or CSOL? It's all academic if not. With regards jobs, it depends on what he does. Some are on seek.com.au but for building trades it is more a matter of going around construction sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdjones Posted January 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi verystormy! thanks for the post, yes, his work is on the CSOL, i think we just worry that he wont be able to get a job once out there. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 It is everyone's worry in the process. The down side is that he may have lots of companies refuse to speak to him because of his visa status and so gain a impression that isn't real. The immigration thing here is very different when looking for a a job. Many will ask it first and not speak to you unless you have a visa. I would simply ask on here how things are for his trade as there are a lot of construction guys on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
