elfie Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Its a struggle for everyone presently new who need a first job and older who want a change. Situation is slim presently. My friends daughter left a job of 3 years for a new job 3 months ago worked one week then laid off ..... grossly unfair ....... apparently they had over estimated demand!!! Shes applied for anything and everything with no luck as yet................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verystormy Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I know of a lot of chefs struggling earlier in the year - the West Australian newspaper did an article on it around February. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossmoyne Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 WA is in a downturn and jobs, both casual and permanent, in many industries from mining to retail and hospitality, are in short demand. People who have loads of experience in all these fields and who have lived in WA and have contacts in their industries cannot find work, so I am guessing that unless new migrants have serious contacts or a promised job, they are going to have a serious issue finding work. Sad but true.... just telling it how it is... we are going through a bad economic time in WA right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it's really difficult for newcomers to find work. We've been here just over a year and finally last week DH secured a permanent position.

Why try and hide reality and lead people to expect something that won't happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegg Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Yes, deffo expect to work hard to get a job ! took us 2 months to get sorted so used a hell alot of savings to survive ! other half applied for stacks of jobs but nothing came about. However in shopping mals - alot of job adverts from shops wanting casual workers etc . Goig casual can be good - as it gives you chance to show how good you are ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
