I am enjoying a bit of time off after having a few weeks work away on a mine up north. Very basic junior geo work and paid according, but it is some money in the bank. Got another week or two back there coming up but that is as a labourer - humping 50kg bags of waste rock about in the desert for $23 an hour, but beggars can't be choosers and it keeps the wolf from the door.

SKYPEd with OH this morning and he's quite down. He's sent off 10+ applications on Seek and not one response and then a well meaning friend emailed him to say his CV is all wrong and it should be a resume in the Oz format etc. I'll be spending this evening rewriting the CV to be a Resume and trying to get him to chill. He's feeling the pressure as we arrive on 7 November and he wants to be in our own rental by then but needs to be working first as finances are slim.... He's going to set his alarm to SKYPE me this evening so that we can chat and I can reassure him. He's a bloody good worker and has fantastic references so hopefully he'll get a nibble soon! Feel a little useless sitting at work whilst he's stressing.:sad:

Oh dear, it must be so hard for you being not together. What job does your oh do, it's so confusing with cv or resume some times you read it doesn't need to be changed to the Oz way or don't bother. Hope something turns up for him soon and it's not too long for you to go now xx

 

Thanks for your post.

 

Its proving much tougher than we thought we havn't spent more than 4 nights apart in nearly 10 years so tough going and the girls really miss him at bedtime. OH is a Fitter (Maintenance / Fixed Plant / Mechnical) and there are loads of jobs on Seek but so far out of 16 applications only got 1 from Chevron saying he did not meet their criteria (it was a long shot for that one though as they wanted undersea experience and OH has diving licence only). I've just spoke to him and reassured him that its early days. We arrive on 7 November and our container showing as 3 November but hopefully will be later... so really hope he is working before we arrive so I can start the rental hunt.

It must be hard for the little ones missing their Dad. Keep going it will work out in the end, I'm sure it will all slot into place soon xx
