as the saying goes "In adelaide, Its not what you know , its who you know"
Working out well then for the state of SA and adelaide the place is backward and getting worse
I arrived in Feb on 190 Finance Mgr Visa. Found job in a week. My predecessor in his role said it is very hard to find decent people in payroll and accounting positions. A strong candidate who is switched on with the right attitude shoudl do fine.
NOTE - I stayed up late at night in the UK to call recruiters in the morning Aus time. This paid off dividends, as one of the relationships I built off the back of this got me a job. It shows you have the right attitude to go the extra mile.
Do some research on schools and boroughs. People have told me the belt from left to right is the safest. Don't stray too far north or south.
I have 3 months plan to Adelaide and my company is paying me me $2500AUD PM for my accommodation food and transport.
My question will 2500 AUD is sufficient for 1 person to live in Adelaide for 1 month.
Can I save any thing in this.
Thanks
Ramesh
