Hello peeps!!!

[Guest Jules37]

Hi

New to this forum and just wondered if anyone could provide some information on the work situation in Adelaide and which places are nice to live.

 

Our background - O/H is a painter and decorator and we have a 7 year old so we would need to be somewhere that o/h can get plenty of work and close to good schools. Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.

Welcome to PIA

 

Regarding jobs, you'll need to do some research online try the following websites.

 

www.careerjet.com.au

www.careerone.com.au

www.seek.com.au

There are many other sites advertising vacancies.

 

As for where is a good place to live! that all depends on what you want, what you are used to, and what you can afford. Everyone will have a different perception of whats a nice place to live. As you have mentioned schools, it might be worth finding the good schools and then looking for areas surrounding them.

 

Good Luck.

Thanks Barry. I have been signed up with the job sites and see quite a few vaacncies but keep hearing from other people that there is not much work there and that it is one of the worst states for unemployment so I am really confused.

 

Good idea with regards to the schools. Our son is in a really good school over here so I want to maintain that when we move to OZ. Do you know if there is a site like we have over here for the schools that tells you what their scores are?

Thank you so much for doing this, this is so kind of you. I shall have a good look through these sites.

 

Have you had all the snow now or have you got more to come? I got really fed up with the snow but we had no where near as much as you so I can't imagine how you must be feeling about it!!!

Hi Jules,

 

We don't have kids at school age (older) so I haven't really looked into schooling much.
