got a question abt working part time in aus

i browse through the thread and most of the part time jobs suitable for students mentioned here are working as waiters in restaurants or cashiers in supermarkets.

I wonder what is the availability of part time bookkeeping or accounting clerk jobs over in aus? like working for those sole traders or small companies that found it unfeasible to hire a full time accountant. What is the pay like?

i have some accounting certs and a diploma under my belt. At the same time,i have 2-3 years working experience from malaysia.

thanks for the information ... really appreciate it !!!!

i just received a call from agency said that my visa is approved ... so everything is settled ...

anyway, thanks a lot !!!!! ^^

is anyone else here going to sydney?
would really love to find someone to share a house with!

Ah. You're in good hands. I suppose you'll be staying in CLV-Kelvin Grove? MYSA is practically made up of MOE students doing their qualifications in education. If I may ask, undergraduate or postgraduate?

Optus has significantly better coverage than Three, but their prepaid plans are very confusing. I've given up trying to make sense of them. They used to be very good value for money, but I think they're now just trying to bleed the international students (who make up the bulk of their prepaid users) dry with their hidden charges and tiered (prepaid) "cap" plans.

Telstra's prepaid plans aren't too shabby, and if there is one thing you generally can't complain about Telstra, its their coverage.

yeah. kelvin grove. I saw from pictures that it is quite a nice place.
I'm still an undergraduate student. we're the last batch that MOE sent for twinning with QUT. there supposed to be 5 cohorts, but due to some economic prob, there's only 2 batches though.

just realised that you're from QUT too!! looking forward to see you soon! haha
maybe you can share info about good telco and internet provider for that area?

Hey i haven't book my accommodation but I found a nice place to live in. Will be booking by next week. Check this out http://www.rooms.net.au/. The price is reasonable relative to the distance to the university. PM me for more information, I have corresponded a few times with their staff. So I may be able to answer some of your questions =)

the price is $350 per month?? o.o

Oh im also thinking of carting my PC over to AUS, would that be advisable? im thnking of taking the GPU out as well as the HDD's and put it in a box and check it in at the airport, carry along a 24" monitor as well

RM how heavy is your pc? 1 monitor or 2

most likely per week

but then it's divided by 2 right? so it's something like $175 per person?

beter buy monitor in mly, hell cheaper.

haya!! add me in the list. Macquarie, Sydney.

My house still have 4 rooms left. currently occupied with 4 persons(2 males 2 females) including me. Small kitchen though. but at least you have me.

Ya. i am in sydney and they usually count by week. i dunno about adelaide but i m paying 195 per week. considered expensive over here.

Why would u want to carry the whole desktop? Laptops r far more convenient imo.

where are you staying actually. beside macquarie? how much would that cost im a poor poor guy

20 minutes by bus. i am at SIBT too. this is my 2nd last semester here. my finals start tomorrow. about the cost i really not sure. the rest of the rooms are smaller than mine so the landlord said that he will charge lower for the rest of the rooms but i dunno by how much.

And another thing is, you must not convert everything into myr when u wanna buy things. It will drive you crazy. Almost everything here is more expensive then in malaysia. even the cheapest lunch at the shopping centre beside macuarie needs 5aud.

closer to the CBD? around lane cove? and how big is the room to be exact. it comes with internet and stuff? sorry if i ask too much, just would really like to know
yeah i know bout that, kind of prepared for that already. thanks for the info!

The place i staying at kinda ulu ulu place. and my life kinda boring. everyday stay at home. i am a computer couch tbh. I am staying along yanko road and yeah it's around lane cove road. google maps for more info.

the landlord locked the empty rooms so i dont really know how big. mine is approximately 4m x 2.75m. (i used my feet and a 15cm ruler to measure ) Internet, electricity, gas, water all included. the room is furnished. got table, lamp, bed those basic things lar.

really? i thought lane cove is like close to the CBD and not really ulu @_@ .
sounds pretty good and the room seems big! cause im actually looking for somewhere around there also.
but i think transport should be fine for me ler, cause im getting a bike there. and ofcourse the + point is someone local !
and i cant find yanko road on google map @_@ if you dont mind can you give another landmark building nearby . heh thanks!
