Hi Holly I'm from the North West too. My husband and I have been here for 7 weeks - would be good to meet people who have been in Adelaide for a while.

Thanks for everyone's responses re the job market - I think it has confirmed what deep down I already knew. As a migrant keen to find work within a couple of weeks/ months then Adelaide probably isn't going to be the best choice. I'm actually considering going to Sydney for a couple of months finding casual work and then making my decision where I want to live permanently when I'm actually in Australia. It's pretty difficult trying to make these huge decisions when not even in the country!

Hi Everyone Sorry if this is going over old ground but I'm hoping for up to date information on the Adelaide job market. I read lots of statistics but hoping to hear from the people who live there! When I look at how many jobs are actually posted on seek or indeed for example it's less than 5000. Sydney has around 50,000 advertised and Manchester were I live currently has around 40,000. Initially I was positive that I have never had an issue gaining employment before but now I am starting to get concerned and wonder if Adelaide is the right place for me?
