nearly five months ago I came from Chile looking for a change of scenery and new opportunities for Australia. At the beginning many things caught my attention and found that the trip was slit. Different ideas to rescue a large country with a level or quality of life quite high and very friendly people, no one really gets into what you do, do not have a lot of respect.
At the beginning we were almost three weeks without work and were lucky enough to get us quickly into the system, find a good job in very little time thinking that some people take up to 4 months to find it. But for us the fate was different.
When we thought we were at the peak and that things were walking on wheels came the debacle: we asked the department and everything became more difficult, so the only alternative left was come to us to live in Surfers Paradise.
The change was sudden, to be living in a city like Santiago pace but with less noise (one month after arriving in Sydney heard the first horn), free throw and clean, we came to a city as the Renaissance. With more limited opportunities, the city is very small and has little paradise. Grace is where living costs are half cheaper than in Sydney, one of the 5 most expensive cities in the world to live. Here
cost us again start, we ate the savings of December that was enough, about 700,000 pesos a month, including rent and meals. Jimena Garzon found work as a Marriott Hotel almost a month of arriving in Surfers, I delayed a week and found more than her job as a cleaner at a resort. This week started as garzon in an employment agency called Zenith and giving me enough hours per week and also on Thursday I'm playing music at a place called Watergate as a DJ, which is one of the best stick I've got in Australia.
All this introduction to say that it is not so easy to come to Australia to work and holiday at the Embassy of Australia say it is easy to find work and they are super good. But that's when you have a good level of English, it is good to give a full interview, speaking by phone to dictate directions and you often can write emails and letters to apply for jobs. There are options that do not need such a good level of English and they can make money as temporary work, where they can earn $ 1,500 per week or working Australians as mining, where they pay from 2,500 per week AUS .
study is also another option to cum, but it is very expensive. A chef's course costs about $ 12,000 annually, and 5,000,000 pesos, a master costs twice and study must have a 5.5 in the Aielst. But here comes the problem: can only work 20 hours a week as a student, allowing you to pay rent if you share department, (if not impossible) to buy food for the week.
How to realize how difficult it is to live here, I tell them I worked with Engineers Commercial garzon Chilean masters are doing here and not enough to live, an English mechanic Team Rally Subaru Impresa not paste is even, designers, teachers, biologists, and I can be a full day naming professional degrees.
The future is in technical, not professionals.
This knowledge engineer who worked in Entel Pcs and never in his life had worked Garzon.
Think twice before coming, they will make money and they will learn English, but is not as easy as it looks, we miss family, friends, salad with lemon and bread with avocado for breakfast as the delicacy of kilo bags cakes or pancakes.
As a recommendation, New Zealand can do to improve the English first, people are more friendly and English is a bit better than the talk here. Imagine that these Australians say sorry every 5 minutes because between them they do not understand, how bad they speak!
