mazey Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hello, Can anyone recommend any good work agencies in Perth? I am looking for general office work and my husband for warehouse work. We've done lots of googling and online applications but no luck yet! Any pointers much appreciated, thanks. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazey Posted August 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thanks Pegg, will definitely bear that in mind - they're not always very good at calling back but I keep trying! :-) Has anyone had any good-ish experiences with any particular agencies? There are so many listed online, it's knowing where to start as much as anything! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegg Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 honestly i think youve just got to constantly be motivated keep phoning ….. keep looking online for jobs etc etc ….and just keep going ! I know times are hard here , so to get your foot in the door is a tad harder too ! But good look guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibbs Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Has anyone had any good-ish experiences with any particular agencies? I had a poor experience of most. Ended up having to do the legwork myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegg Posted September 17, 2016 Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 How is the job hunting going @mazey ? did you guys sort anything ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazey Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hey Pegg, sorry I haven't looked on here for aages! :-) Well, my other half quickly found work through a friend (of course). :-) I have been searching since the beginning of August and I have landed some temp work for a month or so, which is definitely all good. I've had one interview for a "proper" permanent job which went well, but just got a phone call saying the role was going to an internal candidate from the North Sea region instead! So, I am persevering and trying to use the contacts, LinkedIn, phoning up etc... but am slowly losing hope and might just go home! :-) Thanks for asking xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still struggling but centre link helps , and hey summer is nearly here ) Sometimes talking to folk can ease the situation or just let off steam ! so bare that it mind if you need a chat or even just a pm ……. ……...and yep you could go home and you can go home anytime - but just enjoy that sun a little bit more hey ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazey Posted October 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Thanks, yes Centrelink are so lovely, I wasn't expecting any help so we were really pleasantly surprised! :-) Just booked tickets to come back in January after our Christmas holiday, so we're not giving up just yet anyway! As you say, we can at least enjoy the summer months and maybe head home in (UK) spring if things really don't work out. I've never been out of work before so am finding this really tough, especially as it was my so called skills that got us here in the first place... :-D Cheers xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
