Lynchoid Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hi all, As the title states, I'd really appreciate some tips or advice about work here in Brisbane. I'm a white collar working in the construction industry (Contracts Administrator/Quantity Surveyor) and have recently relocated from Perth to Brisbane (long story but I was sold a business opportunity that didn't appear - big mistake). Anyway as most will know, work here is very quiet and so I'm more than happy to look at freelance work doing anything at all. It's been mentioned in previous posts that Brits don't often consider taking alternative work whilst waiting for their career position and so I'm happy to keep the wolves from the door by labouring (I'm 40yo), fruit picking, whatever. My question to you wonderful people is, to circumvent hours of searches and talking to useless companies, can anyone offer guidance as to good labour agencies, ones they've used in the past and also any ideas of jobs that may be easily obtainable to an eager Brit looking to earn a few dollars. Thanks in advance to anyone responding. Cheers Steve PS - I may add that the wife and I love it here in Brisbane and are determined to make it work.

Keith and Linda Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I work for BMD, look up their web site, for employment opportunities, and/or send your cv in to the HR dept, you might strike lucky. We may also be needing labourers but I would advise to cv option 1st. We tend to use an agency called AWX for labour when needed their tel is 32380800. Good luck.

Lynchoid Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks for your reply Keith, I'll send the CV through. The website states no relevant vacancies at present but I can register interest and so will do this. Thanks again Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
