[QUOTE="Fujifilm, post: 119802, member: 22250"] :shock: :shock: :shock: Have you tried getting a job in Perth? I guess it depends on your trade but I can tell you my wife managed to get one interview in 8 months and she is considered an expert in her field. When we came back here she had a job half hour after making a phone call. At the time I was an IT consultant and went for loads of interviews and Australians even under qualified or no experience got offered the position first. My ex partner now works for a very big organisation and she says it does happen. We migrated on skilled visas and I went out 1999 - 2001 - 2003 so can't comment on the cost of living etc. as it is today, but when we were there it was swings and roundabouts, Australia (Perth) was no cheaper to live than UK. Anyone going out in the 1970s unless they have lived here for a period of time can say the cost of living in Australia is cheaper. Of course if you come over here with your plastic dollars its bloody expensive, same as if we go over there with our £s its cheap. If petrol costs £5 a gallon and you earn £20k a year its no different to petrol costing $5 a gallon and you earning $20k a year. The mistake I think a lot make, is they emigrate thinking they leave their problems here, or its going to be easy. Reality is same sh*t different location. :lol: Life is what you make it. Although looking out the window today I know where I would rather be. [/QUOTE]
