Guest BenMpc Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Hi, My names Ben. Just arrived in Perth last week and it'd be cool to make some friends my age (im 23) to go out for a beer/coffee with sometime. I dont really know anyone here until a couple of friends get here in October so if anyone wants to meet up that'd be good. Im living at my dads in Guildford for now but will be moving somewhere more central once Iv got a job. Guildford sucks... So anyways, send me message if you wanna meet up :goofy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mikaela Jay Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Hey guys I moved to Perth a few months back, started out living in Joondalup, found it was too quiet and now live in the city. I am here with my boyfriend (were both 22) and we are both up for meeting new people... Do you ever go out in the city? We could all meet up for a drink one night?

I live down near Bristol. Add me on facebook ifyou want cuz easier to keep in touch then on here emmacurtis121207@hotmail.co.uk emma x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kairenjx Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 That's great it's good to hear from someone in the same boat as me! I've been looking at some jobs but I'm not sure when to apply as I'm not arriving till Feb, I've applied for one so far but maybe I should start applying for more? I work in accounts just now (accounts supervisor) and my boyfriend is a tiler x we're moving out as my boyfriends dad lives out there already and we went at xmas and loved it! Got our permanent residence visa 2 weeks ago. What kind of work are you looking for? I don't have facebook but my e-mail is kairenj@googlemail.com and I'll save your e-mail to reply in future x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikaela Jay Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I probably wont be in Perth in Feb, as my apartment lease finishes in Jan so I am going to travel the East Coast. If you guys are looking for office work, i'd suggest signing up with an angency to start with - that seems to be the best way to get an idea of what is available and if your good they will keep you on permentantly. We just came out expecting to get travellers jobs (in a bar or somthing) to make some money before moving and travelling again but both ended up getting really well pais and fun jobs. I am working for Mental Health Commission, started out just a 3 week job doing admin... now im still here after 4 months and they have got me doing more media related work (which i studied), my boyfriend studied law and they managed to get him a job within one of the biggest law firms in Perth. The agency is 'Integrity Staffing' - they are so good, we both got jobs on the same day we went in. Most of the work advertised over here is for immeadiate start so you probs don't need to start looking just yet. I hope that gives you a little insight into perth... We are living right in the city in an executive apartment with a pool and gym and stuff!! (and we are not rich by any means) You'l be coming right in the summer time... it will be so nice, the beaches here are lovely and everything is so clean and new! have you booked all your flights and everything?

Guest Kairenjx Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hi Mikaela, Sounds great, I think that was my main concern leaving good jobs over here and not being able to find work. I've sent my CV onto some agencies but I'll do more work on that nearer the time. Are you planning on staying in OZ for good or on a years visa? We're in it for the long haul we're renting our house over here and hope to sell when the market picks up and build in Perth but the time being we're renting a new apartment like yours until we find our feet. It's good to speak to someone already over there gives, calms my nerves a bit! Thanks for the info on the agency I'll be sure to speak with them.

Guest xLisax Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hellooo, Me and my friend are both 21 and will be on a Working Holiday Visa and arrive on October 15th!

Guest Mikaela Jay Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Glad that helps guys, yeah just over on a holiday working visa but hoping to get my second year visa and travel for most of that year. Really enjoying it so far!! And lisa.. will def be up for drinks or somthing when you get here.. seems quite a few people will be arriving in october.. add me on facebook (Mikaela Revel) and we can all meet up when u get here.. show you the sites ... oh yeah and if any of you guys like music festivals and gigs theres loads going on in perth later in the year.. would be worth checking out now to get tickets, just type in google 'perth music festivals' - I been to one already and they seem to be mainy in the day and finish at 10pm so it's a really cool atmosphere.. and they have some really cool people coming too!!

Guest xLisax Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Cool Mikaela.. I searched for your name and im not sure if im going to be adding the right person so can you give me your email address and ill search by that! I would give my name but I have a very popular surname, so you'd be there all day wondering which 1 is Lisa Moore haha - As for Music Festivals - Sounds cool! We'll be having a little party when we arrive so im sure my Brother wont mind you and your partner coming along if you fancy it! ) xx Hey Emma! We're looking to do 6 months working and a month or so travelling! We might stay longer but Stacey will have to pop home for July and im not too sure what ill be doing as ill be living with my Brother and Sister in Law and they are planning to start a family so I might stay out for the birth! When you come over in February we will all have to meet up! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
