JaseandAnne Posted June 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 You have experience of a small area, you can't possibly say it's like that everywhere else. My mechanic and garage in Joondalup are AMAZING! I've been here 11 years and can't fault them. No I didn't say they were bad everywhere, and they aren't all bad here either. they cant be else no one would take their car anywhere! lol.

Steely Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 We arrived in Perth last Thursday, and are just getting around, and trying to get our bearings. I hope we don't have a similar experience! Looking for somewhere to live, Connolly has caught our eyes, and then concentrate on jobs. SEEK seems to offer scope, so fingers crossed.

It's a great suburb, close to everything. You won't go wrong choosing this suburb as your home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaz Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hi JaseandAnne, I am sorry to hear about your experience, most of us have gone through similar experiences, either you are overqualified or under. I think you have discovered the gap in this particular market. If you can afford it then perhaps starting your own business might work for you, not to mention giving these employers a good healthy competition. Since you have managerial skills then there are lot of other sectors to look into. Doesn't matter if your visa is for mechanic, it doesn't limit you anyway. Just a thought. Please don't be disheartened, something good must be around the corner, nothing stays the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
