Hi everybody...in fact its rather the fear of the unknown that is pushing me to write than interrogations. I'll arrive in Perth on the 4th July and am a university undergraduate student. I'll like to know on average how much time you people think it will take me to get a job given the actual economical state? And above all how much can I expect? Due to the 20hr p/w limit wages has become a worry for me. Then I heard lots of stuff suggesting that Perth is being saturated!!

Thanks

As you have identified yourself there can be various factors involved in job markets, and Perth/WA is not isolated from that, ie.
. Mining Industry is allegedly absorbing many people to high paying work.
. But then right now and for forseeable few months there is an energy shortage owing to a Gas supply explosion industries are being restricted.
. There is talk of flow on effects of that.
. Coupled with all, petrol prices hitting stratospheric highs and recent interest rates increases all add to people tightening their belts on spending.

Thus average time, wages, saturation are all variables too and life goes on.
You go there and find what work you can or you decide not to go!

I am also interested in working in perth.I'm from the uk.Is it expensive to go and wrk in australia and what kind of work is it best to do there ?.

Depends on the skills or talent that you have. If you have a diploma/masters or have finished schooling, you may be qualified for a skilled visa.

Getting to Australia obviously entails a number of costs, they being the initial ones of visas - Department of Immigration and Citizenship , travel and insurance depending on whether you are looking at a permanent move or something like a WHV.

Living costs when here vary with all sort of criteria just like thay can in England, but getting work itself usually has a minimal or zero cost.
