Getting a Job before the Move
I would like to think of myself as a fairly cautious person especially when it comes to money. You see, a couple of years ago we were just about ruined financially and actually had to move back in with my parents (which was kind of embarrassing).
So when it comes to money, I like to make sure that I have all my bases covered before I do anything drastic. Though I have missed out on a couple of good deals and opportunities, I feel a lot better knowing that my finances are safe.
A good example would be what I did before we moved to Australia. You see, I had a good paying health care job in North America and I was hoping to find something similar over there before we moved. My wife already had her government job in Australia all lined up so least we were guaranteed a little bit of income as soon as we moved there.
I was able to find a couple of Australian job listing websites that had a vast array of jobs that I could apply for before we moved. I applied for many of them and I was pleasantly surprised to have a number of interviews lined up for the day after we would arrive in Australia.
Was a smart move? You bet. We didn’t even have to tap into our savings as I was able to start work with in the first week that we were living there.
