Okay, okay, I know.... It has been forever since I had a blog entry. What can I say? Things have been incredibly boring to be honest. The only thing I have been doing is hunting. Hunting? For what?...... don't worry, it isn't Kangaroos.
I have been on the job hunt and house hunt here in Sydney and let me tell you it's been quite the intense search. This "global financial crisis" has hit Sydney pretty hard as it has hit many other cities. There have been several major job cuts and this has thrown tens of thousands of employees into the hunt as well. In total it took me three weeks to find a job because every interview I went to had at least 40 other people in competition for the role and half of those were Australian. American Express has become my employer for the time being through a recruitment agency and so it's been quite something to go through. I have an appreciation for people back home who are new to Canada and trying to find work, residents and citizens always seem to get work over newcomers or visitors.
The house hunt has also been interesting so far. I've met some dynamic people with some interesting backgrounds. This being my first time living on my own, it's a bit of a learning curve, but I am making progress. Hopefully I will be into a place on my own (or with flatmates) soon enough!
Anyways, this is where my life is at. One day soon, I'll have something interesting to update you with!
