I've now been in Australia for a week and a half and it feels like forever!
I have fallen in love with the country, with the accents, with the slang, with the food, with everything!
Now I haven't seen much aside from my one day of sightseeing (though I have seen a lot of this restaurant/bar in Parramatta called the Roxy - as it has free internet access, all I have to do is buy a drink or two - tough life!) but I love feeling like I'm actually *living* in Australia!
The job hunt? Not going so well. I haven't heard anything back from the tons of admin type jobs I've applied to, so today I resorted to applying for retail jobs. I have the experience needed for retail and if I can do it even for a bit while I find my M-F job then that's okay. I just hope not to be doing retail the whole time I'm here in Australia. But, I think making myself look employable on a resume (ie with some Aussie experience on it) will help, so I'll do whatever.
We'll see how it goes - I've applied for a ton of retail jobs today, including one in the Tommy Hilfiger department of Myer (an Aussie department store)! I hope someone will notice my retail experience and give me a call - and further a job - soon!
Nic's parents arrive in two weeks from Halifax, so I'd love to find a job soon, so I can get on with securing an apartment. Nic found a sweet apartment building here in Parramatta that's a ton nicer than the one I was looking at originally, and it's furnished, and available now!
So I need a job - so then I can get this sweet apartment!!!! Send me get-a-job-soon vibes, please!!!!!
try hotels, and waitstaff, they might do in a pinch.. also who the heck is nic?
