I was about to give up on this entire
adventure. I disliked my life in Sydney and everything seemed
hopeless until one day I received a phone call from an employment
agency I had contacted weeks back. They offered me an one-day
assignment at the airport the next Tuesday. I accepted, of course.
When I was there at the airport, considering booking my flight back
to Europe, my present company called me and asked if I could come for
an interview the next day.
So I went to the interview on Wednesday
and it turned out I had actually come for a training. I got the job
and started there the next Monday. And a couple of days ago the
agency I already mentioned before contacted me again and offered me
some shifts during New Year's season. All in all, in Australia you'll
never know when your luck will change. You never know what kind of
opportunities are waiting just around the corner. Anna and I are
chronically good at making money, we usually find jobs quite easily,
so at the beginning we were a bit depressed, sad and puzzled because
no one seemed to need us.
By the way, ”can you come for an
interview” in Australia can mean many things that have nothing to
do with the traditional job interview. When I was invited for in
interview for the cleaning job, their only question was if I could
start the next day. The same thing happened with my current job. The
interview turned out to be a training. I was half an hour late for
the interview and I still got the job. It doesn't matter so much
here. If you are half an hour late for the interview in Finland you
can kiss goodbye to the job. It tells something about your motivation
if you can't even bother to find out how to get to the right place on
time.
